Savoia S-21 (late engine version)

Looks like a plastic model from the 1950s!

@Ruben, gorgeous build! What was the different card you used for this build? The shine you got is wonderful—like a high gloss wood marine varnish!

@Allen, really beautiful design! I love how you did the fuselage longerons as colds of the inner skin. That must add a ton of structural integrity, while staying really faithful to the actual surfaces of a traditional old flying boat design.

Where can I buy this model, please?

This beauty was completed before I joined the forum. Man, am I grateful this thread's been revived here! Splendid model.

Mark: Thanks for your words. I used a high quality cardstock that is available in my country called "opalina",
but I'm not sure about the equivalent in other countries. It was a different card compared to the first build which
I made here: www.papermodelers.com/forum/aviation/14332-savoia-s21-instructions-wip.html

To get the glossy shine was a lucky result of using a good quality clear spray.

I'm not sure is Allen is reading the forum recently. But as for availability, it was limited
as stated in his original thread here: www.papermodelers.com/forum/aviation/8857-sovois-s21-wip.html

Kind regards.
