Apologies if this is not the right place to post this subject, but it does have a hull and is floating on the water!

Boeing 314 Clipper in 1/144 scale from Airfix. Thanks for having a look - questions and comments always welcome.
Happy New Year!
Bill

Nice job Bill! :thumbs_up_1:

I love this majestic seaplane.


Having spent 10 days in the south-west and west of Ireland at the end of May 2019, I took the opportunity to visit two aviation related sites (there are few in Ireland).

Foynes is located along the river Shannon which leads to the town of Shannon and its airport. It is now a port for merchant ships.

In this museum you can visit the only replica of the Boeing 314 in the world.

Unfortunately, there are no longer any originals.

That's a cool build. Love it. And very nice pics - didn't realize there was a replica. The plan to build that was most likely hatched over Irish whiskey.... :heh:

Thanks to everyone for having a look and the kind comments and information. I might do the Glencoe Martin M-130 next, maybe....
