Martin 170 Mars and other JRM

I know that there is a plan for a 1/20 model (too expensive ...), but I would prefer the 1/19 ... To fly a little better ...

I like the Latécoère quote at the bottom of your post.
I visited that museum twice, in 1993 and 2007. Nice little place.

The Museum of Hydraviation - Biscarrosse – Landes -

I bought a poster with a Laté-521, Latécoère, and that memorable quote.

J'aime bien la citation de Latécoère en bas de ton post.
J'ai visité ce musée deux fois, en 1993 et 2007. Joli petit endroit.

J'ai acheté une affiche avec un Laté-521, Latécoère, et cette citation mémorable.

Hell yes... a complete heartbreak. The engines and props were flawed... with deadly results. Flutter, how we hate you.

Ooops, stupid silly dumb autotranslator, did it again ! Probably the same that once turned AIRBUS into ABRIBUS, which exactly means (in French) BUS SHELTER.

(facepalm)

One another drawing I made for 1/19 flying electrical model ... a year ago !

These are a few flying boat paintings from a Martin Marietta illustrator from the 1970's. I guess he was doing a historical issue of Martin Aircraft. They are original paintings on heavy artist board. You can see some paint loss on the biplane wings.
