Historical Background:

This Boeing 314 Clipper kit will bring back memories for some of the most experienced Airfix modelers. This Vintage Classic model was a popular release when it first appeared, and with 76 pieces, the 1:144 design is a pleasant build.

Representing one of the most glamorous aircraft types to ever take to the skies, the Boeing 314 Clipper was produced to allow passengers and cargo to travel across the vast expanses of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, in levels of style and comfort which rivalled those on the great ocean liners. Twelve aircraft were produced for Pan American World Airways and BOAC; however, the start of the Second World War resulted in these opulent flying boats being used mainly for military purposes, with aircraft serving as transport for Franklin D Roosevelt and Winston Churchill.
