Breeze Drifter Seaplane DIY Aircraft Mechanical Model Kit

The Frenchman Alphonse Pénaud filed the first patent for a flying machine with a boat hull and retractable landing gear in 1876, but Austrian Wilhelm Kress is credited with building the first seaplane, Drachenflieger, in 1898

The idea of crossing a boat and an airplane came to the minds of people who carefully studied the world around them. Like the idea of ​​aeronautics in general. Of course, their humanity borrowed from birds. I consider the beginning of the era of flying boats to be the 10s of the 20th century, although the first hydroplane took off in the air as early as 1909. It was created by the American inventor Curtis based on its own engine. In 1913, the Ukrainian designer Grigorovich tested the M-1 hydroplane, which marked the beginning of the era of flying boats.

The history of aviation honors the records set by seaplanes: two dead loops on Grigorovich’s amphibian, the speed record of the Soviet Be-10 at 912 km / h, the world’s largest flying boat, created in China already in the 20s of the new century.

The designers of “Metal Time” could not ignore this important milestone in the desire of mankind to fly and presented the modular model “Breeze Drifter.”

This is a prototype that incorporates the characteristics of a typical propeller hydroplane. Of course, it does not float, but it has a spring mechanism that drives the screws of the “engines.”

We’re here to help you buy the hottest products affordably, with fast shipping and World-Class Customer Support. However, please read about the newly imposed tariffs and click the Delivery tab to review our Return and Refund policies before making a purchase.

Tariff: We ship directly from the country where the product is made, such as China, Italy, or Taiwan, helping you avoid or pay lower tariffs. Since we do not always ship products to you from the USA (except for products made in the USA or stocked), you will not be affected by the new tariffs imposed by the USA. Due to new tariff agreements between countries, not all products are subject to tariffs, as tariffs vary by country or product. For example, customers in the USA will pay a tariff on products imported from China, based on the tariff rate agreed between the USA and China. And so, if applicable, you, the customer, will pay the tariff in your respective country. The total amount of your order does not include a tariff, which you will pay before the delivery. We won’t issue a refund if you don’t pay the tariff.

Ships From: On this product page, check the Ships From: label to see which country we will ship this product from, because we do not ship all products from the USA; some products ship from regions like China, Taiwan, Canada, and Europe. Therefore, the tariff you pay depends on the country your order is shipped from, as not all countries charge the same tariff. For example, suppose the US imposes a 30% tariff on goods imported from China; in contrast, other countries may impose a significantly lower tariff, or even none at all, on goods shipped from China into their countries.

Attention! We will email you the tracking number for you to track your parcel. The shipping company will contact you by phone, text, or email to arrange payment of the tariff. However, as the customer, you are responsible for responding to their call, text, or email. You can also click the tracking number link we emailed you to contact the shipping company and make the tariff payment, if you haven’t already.

Heads Up! We’re not responsible for parcels returned to us if you don’t pay the tariff or fail to follow up with the shipping company. As a result, if the shipping company returns the parcel to its country of origin, you will be responsible for re-shipping costs and tariff charges. We will not accept any excuses for not paying the tariff or for failing to follow up with the shipping company for the tariff, and we will not issue a refund.


Why are we not adding tariffs to the product’s retail price? If all countries imposed the same tariff amount and used the same currency, we would have added that tariff to the product’s retail price. Our suppliers and we are not responsible for tariffs. Please shop accordingly.
