Nice additions.
Esp. the Reytuerto's lesser-known designs. :)

Good afternoon! Thanks Eswube for your feedback!

with the early 1930s, the design of aircraft changed dramatically. From airplanes built with wood, canvas and piano strings, we saw a swift evolution. A witness of this change was Wibault´s prototype for AdA´s 1931 fighter contestest:

Wibault 313 was an all metal aircraft, with wings in cantilever without bracings or strings, a stressed Al alloy skin (canvas only over the control surfaces), a relativelly powerful Gnome & Rhone radial engine, but with fixed landing wheels and open cockpit.

In the late 1920s, and during all the 1930s, the main aircraft beteween Metropolitan Frances and the Levant and North African colonies was the seaplane. One example of these was the LeO 242 tetramotor monoplane of the late part of this period.

The changes were also seen in civil airplanes, from rather ugly angular models, to all metal models with much more refined aerodynamics. The evolution is clearly seen in the progression between the Wibault-Penhoet trimotor, and the nice Dewotine trimotor of the years inmidiately before the eruption of WWII.

Nice additions to the bucket!

Good morning guys!
The NAF N3N was overshadowed by his stablemate, the famous Boeing Stearman Model 75. But with over 900 aircraft built N3N was also an important airplane for the USN as ab initio trainer. It was the only aircraft made by an state owned factory (in this case, Naval Aircraft Factory owned by the Navy), which also got the license for the Wright radial engine. A sturdy, reliable and forgiving biplane, nicknamed "Canary" and "Yellow Bird" (and much less kindly "Yellow Peril") for its high visibility yellow color, was the last biplane operated by USN being retired at the end of the 1950s.

Probably the most interesting thing I've ever painted in FD Scale!

These are Il-28s, NATO reporting name "Beagle" - an early jet bomber developed by the Soviet Union in the 1950's, and while they've been retired ages ago by other air forces, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (or North Korea as we all know it as) still operates the aircraft to this day! (Alongside the built-under-license Chinese version, the Harbin H-5)
