About product

Curtiss H-16 1:72 (Roden)

The kit captures the large twin-engine Curtiss H-16 flying boat from the end of the First World War. It is an injection-molded plastic model in 1:72 scale from Roden. The kit contains a quantity of fine parts and a decal sheet with several marking options.

The real subject

The Curtiss H-16 was the last of the family of large H type flying boats derived from the British Felixstowe design. The American version differed from the British machines above all in being powered by Liberty V12 engines. The machines served with the Royal Naval Air Service and with the US Navy on maritime patrol and anti-submarine duties.

Building and painting tips

The model has extensive rigging between the wings and the engine nacelles and a number of small parts, so it suits modelers with some experience. Glue the plastic with liquid cement and make sure the wing spars are firmly seated. The large surfaces of the boat hull come out well after airbrushing and light shading; finish the rigging only after painting.

Who the model is for

  • For enthusiasts of First World War naval aircraft
  • For more experienced modelers of biplanes and seaplanes
  • For collectors in 1:72 scale

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