This is going to be the 2nd of the 1930s Ugly Sisters French frightful aircraft that fly not due to engine power and physics but by being repelled by the Earth because they are so revolting. I have already done the Potez 540 by fastmongrel

As you can see this is an ancient kit built in the days before plastic had been invented and a young kit builder had to assemble parts probably made from Bakelite or Papier Mache.

Joking aside according to Scale mates this is an ex Heller kit first released in 1966. I have made a start sanding the huge rivets off the fuselage. Jacques the mould maker must have spent hours making the rivets but 20 minutes with a sanding stick can repair some of the damage.

The kit has no interior so I will bash very crude floors and a scattering of seats plus a wine cooler and humidor.
