Splashing Dreamer DIY Airplane Mechanical Model Kit

Original price was: $129.00.Current price is: $99.00.

  • Like all Metal Time prefabricated construction kits, the Splashing Dreamer model is made of eco-friendly stainless steel, used in the food industry, and approved for producing consumer goods and toys.
  • Assembling the Splashing Dreamer is not an easy task, mainly because of the complex system of gears which transmit the movement of the spring to the screws of the engines. You will need to apply a lot of ingenuity to achieve the correct operation of the mechanisms. The assembly process of the model can be a great activity for family leisure.
  • As a result, your desk or another interior element will be decorated with a model with a unique history and character.
  • For Metal Time, the Splashing Dreamer model is a continuation and development of the “aviation” direction, where several outstanding self-assembly kits have already been made. It was the first time an aircraft model was created using non-ferrous metal.
  • Precise cutting of the model eliminates the possibility of cuts during the assembly process.
  • Pleasant tactile sensations favorably distinguish steel parts from wooden or plastic used in other constructors. Convenient flat packaging made of eco-friendly recyclable cardboard combines the compactness and aesthetics of a status gift.

Splashing Dreamer DIY Airplane Mechanical Model Kit

The Boeing 314 Clipper was an American long-range flying boat produced by Boeing from 1938 to 1941. One of the largest aircraft of its time, it had the range to cross the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The first 314 flight on the San Francisco-Hong Kong route left Alameda on February 23, 1939, with regular passengers, and Foreign Air Mail Route #14 service began on March 29. A one-way trip on this route took over six days to complete.
Flying across the Atlantic was a feat for pilots and passengers, although it occurred often and regularly in the first half of the 20th century. The journey often lasted most of the day, the machinery was not credible, and the weather conditions created stress every minute. And suddenly, a plane appeared, capable of providing unprecedented comfort and safety to passengers. Even in the case of an unforeseen landing over the ocean, it guaranteed the survival of everyone on board. The secret is that it was a Boeing 314 Yankee Clipper floatplane.

It was like one of the floors of a luxury hotel. Pull-out chairs, restaurant porcelain tableware, and silverware, top-notch service. It was such a plane where James Bond could order his favorite cocktail without getting up and drinking it from a crystal glass. The design of the hydroplane and the reserves of resources allowed it to stay in the air for up to a day without refueling and, in case of malfunctions, land on the water and continue its way as a huge boat.

World War II changed the functionality of these aircraft, and the luxury of air travel became a thing of the past. Paying tribute to this creation of American engineers, the Metal Time team created the Splashing Dreamer self-assembly kit based on the design of this glorious hydroplane.

The body of the hydroplane is located on a stable stand, which also contains a winding mechanism with a spring and a key. With the help of gears, the movement from it is transmitted to the screws of the engines.

However, the model can be easily separated from the stand, for example, for playing or as part of a mock-up or installation. Being disconnected from the central mechanism, the screws can be only moved by turning them by hand.

A tariff belongs to the buyer when applicable. Why don't we add tariffs to the product's retail price? - If all countries deducted the same tariff amount, we would have added the tariff amount to the product price. However, we do not do that because each country charges a different amount, while some do not even charge. Therefore, we can't add any tariff to the product's retail pricing. Oz Robotics, manufacturing partners, or Suppliers are not responsible for tariffs. Please check the "Made In:" and "Brand:" labels on the product page to see the product's origin. The total amount for your order does not include any duties, import taxes, customs fees, and GST/VAT. The buyer must pay all import duties.
