Another seaplane, from the 30's,from behind the southern Polish border,from the Czech Republic, or exactly what was then called Czechoslovakia.

Model is made of 100% resin , metal parts and photoetched parts. I do not recommend this model for colleagues, who do not build models with resin. Let me be clear this is a difficult model and I rather do not recommend for novices .
I made many resin models , but I had a considerable trouble with this model. I won't go into the details. But I managed to finish it.
At the beginning of the photo gallery, there's photo workshop.
For my part, I'm curious where did such planes fly. Czechoslovakia didn't have access to the sea and lakes

Wikipedia says that 4 were used on floats at a Czech Army gunnery camp on the Montenegro coast for towing targets. There must be a wonderful story about how that camp came to be.

Incredible model that really stands up to anything else, inclusing the Tamiya Swordfish...

Planet Model kits are extremely good resin kits that are refined and, remarkably, not warped at all, even on long fine parts with sharp trailing edges... »They are worth the cost if you can deal with refining the fit.
