I received this photo, stating it is a Figoni & Falaschi bodied Royale. Anyone with more info?

Probably a converted miniature of the 1:16 Binder, the wing line is the same. Probably combined with some other kit...

Nice try, Herman!

Eagle-Eyed Jaap got it right. You are quick!

However, a very nice model, and I have contact with a guy, who found letters of his grandfather, investigating the possibilities of having a F&F Royale built for him. If more info pops up, I will post it here.

Anybody knows of efforts on F&F's side, for bodying a Royale?

It was not too difficult, the running board has steps for two doors, and there is only one....

I never heard of an F&F design for a Royale, so I guess there never was one.

These letters are interesting, maybe a sketch was made?
