SBS' Latecoere 28 is a welcome addition to the slowly growing line of civil options provided by smaller (in size, but big in brains) manufacturers.

SBS releases of the different versions of the DH88 racer and the Farman F.190 (and other subjects) are to commend in every sense.

As said in the building article, you could build this kit as it is, but I decided to go a few extra yards to tweak it a bit and add some things.

The "Comte de la Vaulx" (in honor of a FAI preeminent member), flown by Mermoz, realized the first commercial crossing of the South Atlantic and added a record for that to its existing numerous ones.

The Late 28, part of the legend of "La Ligne", opened the South-American region to new horizons, and pioneered and heralded the future of commercial aviation for that part of the world.

Names like Mermoz, Guillaumet, Saint Exupery and many others will grow to the stature of legends.

In 1929 Saint-Exupéry was appointed director of the "Aeroposta Argentina ", a branch of the Aeropostale.

I made for this kit a full interior (the manufacturer provides a full cockpit) with restroom and cabin equipment. If you are curious, go the to link at the head of this post, BUT it you really need to use the restroom, please note that the toilet discharges au plein air :-)
