Here is another in the series of pre-war aviation subjects from Ingenia. The Farman 224 was huge - perhaps the largest French airliner of its day - 4 motors, and carrying 40 passengers. The aircraft flew around 1937, as the civilian version of a bomber. The model is from that era, though the date of publication is not indicated. The artist is E. A Shefer, the scale is 1:50, and the publisher is Pelican Blanc.
The large format is challenging - the fuselage has a forward and aft section, that are joined around an inner box. The design is simple, but contains a complete cabin, with seats and a bar, and a simply laid out cockpit. The cabin is set into a box structure, that provides the skeleton for the plane. The pilots' cabin, which is above the main cabin, sits on a little platform. The landing gear, which retract, are built out in a simple 3D frame, that mounts inside a horizontal frame that traverses the fuselage.
