Guess what I stumbled across this afternoon - a full size Ca-31 mockup in the back of the Australian National Aviation Museum, at Moorabbin Airport near Melbourne, Australia.  I am down this way on business and a collegue and I decided to kill a little time at the museum.  Took some photos and will post them when I return home.

Cool!
Yes they did a full-scale mockup of the CA-31, and later barely avoided its scrapping  :angry:
Fortunately they managed to save it and give it to the museum.
I really want to see pics of this mockup, so thanks in advance for sharing!!!!
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Here you go - the mock-up is disassembled and against one wall (easily missed).  Pics are taken with my phone:
