Savoia-Marchetti S.55 from Dora Wings!

For those who have not heard, Dora Wings is going to do a 1/72 SM S.55:

While I am not a fan of interwar aircraft, this one is different!  It's unusual, cool looking, and has some history associated with it.  It also appears to have been a successful design, appearing in at least two passenger and one military version.  It seems Dora Wings will do both.  Big Smile  Hope they do the SM S.55X in Italo Balbo's markings.  There's something special about Italian float planes.

I am aware of the prehistoric Delta kit in the same scale, but this one will be 100X better!

That's really nice. The old kit is horrible. I'll definitely be up for that one!

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

A peek from a Japanese website:

Looks nice.  Parts for Italo Balbo’s S.55X are not in the box, so perhaps a future boxing will include the necessary hulls, engines and enclosed canopy.
