Cruiser de l' Air
Dr. YoKai:
A hull from an old Space Battleship Yamato series kit ( the standard Earth battleship, not the Yamato ),
some hull bits from some ancient Revell or Renwal ship, wings from skirt armor off of some 1/35 Mk. IV,
and typically French turrets from a Walther railroad accessories set. Suggestions for a paint scheme and a name would be welcome.
Visible exclusively in this shot, the Winans-Schneider Rotor pod ( to be mounted above the wing )
If you're wondering what in tarnation* a Winans-Schneider Rotor pod is, it's something like these...

Some names for this cool Cruiser:
Roland or Durandal (The wing looks a bit like a sword) both stereotypical European weapon system names.
"le Grand Condé" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis,_Grand_Cond%C3%A9
"Jean Lafitte" if you want a more rakish name.
The turrets look awesome!
apophenia:
This looks verrry cool :D
Antonio Sobral:
Really really interesting!
As for the name, if you want to keep the French flavour, spiced up with some Australian influences, I would suggest
"Antoine Raymond Joseph de Bruni d'Entrecasteaux". Or the abbreviation "Bruny d'Entrecasteaux" ;)
The guy that explored the Australian coast in 1792, looking for the lost expedition "La Perouse".
His name was given to the Bruni Island and the d'Entrecasteaux channel, in Tasmania.
Sadly, he died of scurvy.
