oire 70
French flyingboat of the 1930s - only eight built. Six of them ( other two for spares ? ) served at the Karouba seaplane base near Bizerte in Tunisia. From this base they patrolled the Med. At least four of them were destroyed in an Italian air raid in June 1940. The fate of the others is unknown.
I'm not entirely happy with this model because none of the photos or drawings I had from the net gave a clear view of the wing or tailplane shape - so I guessed they might be similar to other Loire aircraft - if someone can correct me please do.
The prop tex is by the great Kelticheart and the dp is an adaptation of Dombral's dp for my Bizerte. Thank you both.
I haven't done a vc panel because I've no idea what the interior looked like and I've taken enough liberties as it is.
The panel is my old Loire130 adaptation of my Walrus panel.
So all in all not my best effort but an intriguing aircraft none the less.
