Curtiss and Macchi seaplanes.





No idea on scale though, but assume 1:35?

These look realy usefull.
Even if they're the "wrong" scale one could scale them up/down to suit or use the parts list to scratchbuild.
I'll have to see what else is on that site.

thanks Bellboy.

I looked at these before. Not sure of the scale.
Looked like very hard work to make. And I imagine the results would be very fragile for the club fingers of some of the people I play games with.
If you are after a plane I got this one on evilbay for just a few quid.

It is the right scale 1/48. And when I get round to it I am sure it will be easy to build.

Right at the top there is an English tab, press it for a translation.

Well, after a fashion...

It is so-so good and a smilingbroadly even if it omits it if it is troublesome though the needle and the string are used for the putting line.
