About product

Bronco 1:48 Chia Typ Seaplane 1919

A plastic kit of the historic Chia seaplane in 1:48 scale from the Bronco brand. The model captures an early Chinese biplane on a pair of floats and offers an unusual subject from the beginnings of aviation that is commonly missing from collections.

The real subject

The Chia aircraft was the first machine designed by a Chinese design and production department and is described as the first independently developed Chinese naval aircraft. It was a two-seat biplane on a pair of floats with controls in both the front and the rear seat, so it served for training, reconnaissance and light bombing. The structure followed American patterns of the day and the machine was powered by an eight-cylinder Curtiss engine of about 100 horsepower. It was completed in 1919, but only three were built.

Building and painting tips

On a biplane, pay attention to seating the struts between the wings and the floats precisely; a dry run of the framework helps. Add the bracing wires with a fine thread. Degrease the parts before painting, lay down a primer and spray the subtle shades with an airbrush. Wooden and fabric surfaces come into their own after a light panel emphasis and gentle weathering.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of aircraft from the beginnings of aviation
  • For lovers of unusual and historic subjects
  • For modelers with experience of building biplanes
  • For anyone interested in Chinese aviation history

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

An early Chinese seaplane of 1919, a two-seat biplane on floats that is regarded as the first independently developed Chinese naval aircraft.

As with any biplane it calls for careful seating of the struts and the bracing wires. Modelers with basic experience of building biplanes will manage it.
