Developed from the Caudron C.362 flown in the previous year's race, a single C.450 and three C.460s were built for the 1934 event. All were powered by a supercharged Renault 456 air-cooled six-cylinder inverted air-cooled engine driving a Ratier two-position variable-pitch propeller.
If you have the Steam or Mobile-Beta version, also super fun to load with wing guns.

Cool.
@dilisvarskvlavi thanks, I'll check out that militarized caudron
Looks and flies great
I've always been a fan of the Caudron C.714, which were used by Polish pilots during the German invasion of France, which I -think- was a military version of this bird. (I'll have to go back and look at my references - but they definitely look "related." I learned a bit about how to hide the blocky features of the wings with fuselage blocks that'll come in handy down the line. Thanks for contributing such a neat and fun lil bird!
@Brields95 thanks!
Other than the wings being to large, this is very acurate!
...I recant that statement. I wish i could give this plane ten upvotes.
Looks cool
