In WWI the French were great proponents of flying boats, and the
Tellier T.3 served with distinction alongside flying boats from
F.B.A.,
Donnet-Denhaut, and
Levy-Besson. Tellier was already accomplished at building boats before the war, and the Tellier flying boats had the reputation of having the best hull of any flying boat. About 190 were built and from February 1917 through the end of the war they were used for anti-submarine and mine patrols. The USA inherited at least 32 T.3's, which they operated from Le Croisic naval station starting in November 1917.
The
Tellier T.6 was a T.3 with 47mm cannon and lengthened hull.
This product comes in both 1:144 and 1:285/6mm/1:288 scales. The 1:285 product has a propeller disk rather than blades (since blades are difficult to print at small scales).
DESIGNER NOTE:
Models at scales smaller than 1:144 may no longer be available. Shapeways discontinued the material for which they were designed, and the newer materials require that each and every model be adjusted to thicken surfaces like wings. If you are interested in a particular model in a small scale, please let me know and I will prioritize it higher in the queue.
