Seeking the S.55 Float Plane!

I found a good version of the Savoia-Marchetti S.55, a fascinating plane. The craft was amazing for the period, rivaling other 1920's craft in performance, despite its unorthodox deign.

I found a copy at Bob's card models:



Bobs Card Models




Its worth a look. Its small, at 1/72, so i have looked to other models for a larger, more detailed version. I found a book I bought on Amazon (which is now missing in PO purgatory!!), and I found an older posting for a different version, at this site:



Bruno's S-55X




This model of Bruno Vanhecke's S-55X appears to be larger and have different parts shaping the pontoon-hulls.

Does anyone know where to find his kit? The posting above never lists the location.

Thanks!

Contact Bruno directly via his email. He has been a bit quiet for some time but may respond.

I agree with Bob. I posted this in Nando's thread regarding Bruno's S-55X:

It is No. 872 on Bruno's list of models, so it should be available from him. I recommend a PM to him at scissorsandplanes

Also on the list are:
873. Savoia Marchetti S55M Italy
874. Savoia Marchetti S55A Brazil
875. Savoia Marchetti S55A Italy Stripes
876. Savoia Marchetti S55A Jahû

Bruno says, "I added the models to Ecard, so in a few days they will be available there."
