Best of both worlds?

[THE DC]

Does anyone have any experience with, or suggestions regarding a WWI or early 1920's flying boat paper model that had pretty decent detail?

I also have an interest in a float plane, so your experience with these kits, as to detail, build, and such would be much appreciated.

Much thanks,

Any particular scale? I ask because I'm working on designing a 1/144th Hansa Brandenburg W29 Floatplane from WW1.

This famous aircraft is available here, for free,

The following are on my ever long to do design list:

1914 Curtiss "America", This aircraft really showed how much of a pioneer in aviation Curtiss was.

Curtiss MF-2

Savoia Marchetti from here qualifies, I think:

Thanks much!

I've been looking for a samll multi person with long range, like the early Sikorsky, but that Savoia-Marchetti S.55 is really interesting and I would never have though about it without your help!

Much appreciation,

This site is back open and the Dornier Do-24K is intriguing!

Absolute!!

Yes, I have to agree that those are two awesome craft. Is anyone working on them?

I'd like to do the America, the other boat is rather ungainly from any other view, but there is so little information on these early Curtiss craft. I'm still researching data for the "America".

America

Has anyone done a model of the 1914 Curtiss America?

Or Any Curtiss H flying boats??

Thanks!

Anyone ever tried building the China clipper or any of her sister flying boats? I'm sure that would be a thrilling experience.

(And getting one to fly - boy, you'll sure get the girls excited with that kind of card-model!)

Reviving a necrothread....

Anyone know what happened to the availability of the kit at:

www.papercraftsquare.com - Savoia Marchetti S 55 Aircraft Free Papercraft Download

www.papercraftsquare.com

When I try going there, I get a "not here" page.

I'd like to get a copy of this.

Thanks ahead!

Hi there
Here is the orginal model.

Bobs Card Models

/ Wilhelm

 

[THE DC]

Thanks much Wilheim!

I did have that one, but the one pictured seemed to have a different paint scheme and even different curves of the pontoons.

Were they both the same kits or different versions?

Again, much thanks!

 

[will69]

As I see it, is the plane in the picture a plastic-model, not the actual papermodel.

[THE DC]

Ah! I didn't catch that!

Well, Wiheim, what do we do?

Cry foul?

Goose the false photo?

Have the goose, a foul, fix this for us?


Are there any other designers know for this craft? I thought there was one for sale but haven't found it.
