fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) I will post today, with your indulgence, Three Old Builds from my times as a sinner. Their only purpose for me is to illustrate examples of scratchbuilding. Here is the first one. In my defense I would say that these machines never fired a shot, being Uruguay the peaceful, welcoming and charming little country it is. These models were made as a commission, long ago, for a local collector. The Cant.18 was a member of a successful and large family of Italian flying boats. The graceful lines of the type are complemented by the presence of the Issotta Fraschini V6 engine, actually a six cyl inline engine in spite of the “V”, and the Warren truss bracing. The type flew for the first time in 1926. Edited February 10, 2019 by Moa 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheonix Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Whatt a beautiful model! Thanks too for the build photos - as usual so very useful. The beaching trolley is a work of art in itself too! P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
