Jacek Sznajder has kindly sent us in the pictures of his latest build. This time we are proud to present another type of his beloved British flying boats in the 1:72 scale.

Jacek, I am almost unable to express how extraordinarily superb your model is! Hand painted the planking of the fuselage? I was going to ask how you drove so many 1/72 nails into real wood. It is only January yet I think it will be difficult to see a model I'll like better than this one.

Impressive to say the least. Outstanding modeling of what certainly is a most challenging and difficult kit to build. A limited run resin kit of a wooden fuselage hulled flying boat, with duel engines suspended on angled braces! Then the massive rigging that is just mind boggling.

Planking is one of best, especially 1/72 scale. Congratulations for Jacek!
