Here you get profiles normalized at constant scale (2 cm ---> 1 pixel) of all planes mentioned in title. In this order:

C-201 (Alcotán)
C-202 (Halcón)
C-207(Azor)
C-212 (Aviocar)
CN-235
C-295

Thanks. Neat job. I've never really looked into CASA's products in detail. I've just come across them every here and there. Like f.i the Armée de l'Air flying a few of both the newest types, I think, and we up here had four for maritime surveillance, two Coast Guard and two Navy. I remember getting the opportunity to look inside one of the CG machines in the nineties, my first reaction being that the cockpit much resembled a car from the early sixties, such as a Volvo Amazon or an older VW Beetle. But they performed all right until one of the CG machines suddenly lost a wing when making a low pass over a friends house followed by a not too violent pull-up that broke the already severely fatigued main wing spar.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

One of the most interesting projecs mentioned in last link, IMO, is INTA-20. Here you can see my depiction, based on information in mentioned link.

In original drawing, dimensions are not readable, but I think that wingspan is 20,00 meters; then I can deduce that length is 14,78 meters.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Two Azor in fictious Iberia colors and different propulsions: radial and turboprop

Two derivatives from C.207 Azor. First with radials and a "special canopy" and the second one with special tail fin and Jets.  :thumbsup:

A pure invention made with fragments of CASA aircraft and Allison engines. :thumbsup:

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

In mid 50s Iberia decides to patron a project of an airliner to fly Madrid - Buenos Aires, non stop (10.050 km). CASA and INTA as technology partners design a 4 radials plane strongly influenced by DC-7, called INTA-40.

Here you can see INTA-40 along with its inspiration: DC-7C and INTA-20, which you can see in the thread devoted to CASA transports and liners. All of them in constant scale.

Designer's main interest was range. Fuselage is depper than DC-7's, allowing for tankage in belly area; besides this, it carries wing tips tanks. Accomodation is lower than DC-7's, but with more confort.

According to documentation in Secret Projects Forum, CASA-401 could look like this. Quite similar to italian G.222 on steroids IMO.
