Superb work Jorgo.

I have one of each of the variants and as soon as I have finished a current big project one of the Caudrons will muscle its way through the stash to be the next new build.

Best wishes
Nigel

Hi Jörg,
sorry for being late in commenting although the Caudron is one of my favoured. Very nice start on this. I especially like your work on the trailing edges and the footrests.

And I can only support this:

Edgar could ease the time until then by letting us know what CSM's exciting 1/32 in progress French project is...  ;)

When I was at Le Bourget I took quite an amount of pictures of the Caudron G IV. If they could be of any help, I can send them to you, Jörg. Just let me know!

......and I second both of Manni's comments. I think a 1:32 version would sell like the proverbial hotcakes! :o 8)

Super nice looking interior! You also did a great job making the wings look thinner & in-scale.

Thanks a lot for your kind comments!

Some instruments from Eduard added and a map (a decal from WNW Rumpler kit):






(unfortunately I lost the left PE part on the rudder bar...)

Radio Equipment (as Edgar mentioned in the kit´s booklet: it´s not for sure wether Radio Equipment was used or not on Caudron hydravion. I just like it)





Cheers,
Jörg

That is a beautiful office you've built there, Jörg!  So much in such a tiny space!
Cheers,
