Model Kit Review, Airfix 1/144 scale Boeing Clipper Flying Boat

Hello steemians!

It's been a few months since I've written a post on steemit, I decided to post another one of my model kit reviews here for your considerations.

This model kit review is for an older Airfix kit for a 1/144 scale Boeing Clipper, which was a pre WW2 passenger carrying "flying boat", as this type of aircraft was known as. The flying boat has a lower fuselage that is built in the shape of a boat hull. The airplane lands and takes off from the water.

In the 1920s and 30s, a number of different kinds of float planes and flying boats were developed for both military service, and for carrying passengers across large bodies of water.

The Boeing Clipper was developed to carry passengers across the Atlantic ocean in comfort and safety. If the plane developed mechanical trouble during flight, it could land on the ocean. The Boeing Clipper was built from 1938 to 1941. The aircraft had a standard flight range of 3500 miles, making it capable of crossing the Atlantic ocean. The Boeing Clipper was used for fast luxury transportation across the Atlantic ocean during a time when the other choice was travel by boat, a much slower option.

Here is my video for this model kit review, it's about 9 and 3/4 minutes long. This video was posted to my youtube channel back in November.

Thanks for checking out this post and my video! I hope you found it interesting!
