Boeing 314 Clipper Metal Time Steel Constructor Kit
Boeing 314 Clipper Metal Time Steel Constructor Kit
The Boeing 314 Clipper was an American long-range flying boat manufactured by Boeing from 1938 to 1941. It was one of the largest aircraft of its time and had the range to cross the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.The 314's first flight on the San Francisco-Hong Kong route departed Alameda on February 23, 1939, and regular passenger and foreign mail service began on March 29 on Route #14. A one-way flight on this route took over six days.
History of the aircraft
Flights across the Atlantic were a feat of strength for pilots and passengers, although they were fairly frequent and regular during the first half of the 20th century. The journey often took most of the day, the machines were not credible, and weather conditions caused stress every minute. And suddenly an aircraft appeared that could offer passengers unprecedented comfort and safety. Even in the event of an unforeseen landing at sea, it guaranteed the survival of everyone on board. The secret is that it was a Boeing 314 Yankee Clipper seaplane.
It was like one of the floors of a luxury hotel. Pull-out chairs, a restaurant with china dishes and silverware, first-class service. In such a plane, James Bond could order his favourite cocktail without getting up and drink it from a crystal glass. The seaplane's design and resource reserves allowed it to stay in the air for up to a day without refuelling, and in the event of a malfunction, to land on the water and continue on its way as a large boat.
The Second World War changed the way these aircraft worked and the luxury of flying became a thing of the past. As a tribute to this creation of American engineers, the team at Metal Time has developed the Splashing Dreamer kit based on the design of this glorious seaplane.
Every aircraft model has its own legend. Why did the designers choose this particular design, to make it in stainless steel, to add moving parts and a feather, and to add colour accents? Splashing Dreamer is the story of the famous seaplane. This was not only luxurious, but also an outstanding technical solution of its time, and many of its technical features are also used in modern aircraft.
The Splashing Dreamer is a four-engine, single-engine seaplane with a distinctive tail fin geometry.
To emphasise the status of this aircraft, the Metal Time team used coloured stainless steel parts in the construction of the model. The fairings on the engine cases, the floats and the tail stabilisers are finished in copper-gold colour. The aircraft's cabin door is also marked with this colour.
Features, advantages
The body of the seaplane is on a stable stand, which also contains a wind-up mechanism with spring and key. With the help of gears, the movement is transferred from it to the screws of the motors.
However, the model can easily be separated from the stand, for example for playing or for use as part of a model or layout. As the screws are not connected to the central mechanism, they can only be moved by turning them by hand.
You can have "air battles" with models by holding them in your hands. You can put together an airfield layout. You can even simulate the "landing" of a seaplane on the water, but you must understand that the "Splashing Dreamer" will not stay on the surface of the water, as the model has many technical and decorative holes. However, immersion in water does not pose any danger to the model and its mechanisms as they are made of stainless steel.
The hull of the seaplane is decorated with ornaments imitating waves and currents of water and air, carved out of metal. This not only has an aesthetic function, but also makes the model easier to handle.
Like all Metal Time prefabricated kits, the Splashing Dreamer model is made of environmentally friendly stainless steel, which is used in the food industry and approved for the production of consumer goods and toys.
Assembling the Splashing Dreamer is no easy task. This is mainly due to the complex system of gears that transmit the movement of the spring to the screws of the motors. You will need to use a lot of ingenuity to get the mechanisms to operate correctly. Assembling the model can be a great leisure activity for the whole family.
As a result, your desk or other furnishing element will be adorned with a model with a special story and character.
For Metal Time, the Splashing Dreamer model is a continuation and further development of the "aviation" direction, in which several outstanding kits for self-assembly have already been created. It is the first time that a model of an aircraft has been made of non-ferrous metal.
The precise cutting of the model eliminates the possibility of cuts during assembly.
The pleasant feel of the steel parts makes them pleasantly different from wooden or plastic parts used in other constructions. The practical flat packaging made of environmentally friendly, recyclable cardboard combines compactness and the aesthetics of a status gift.
