1/72 Esoteric US Navy Macchi M.16 Sub-Based Float Plane - 1920s (M-16) - Bagged
Vacuform Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed
Still factory sealed. Possibly the smallest aircraft to serve in the US Navy. During the 1920s, the Navy expressed interest in submarine based aircraft as the British had experimented with during WWI. They tried domestic models as well as one German and the Macchi, which they purchased three of. The experiments proved troublesome and the idea was dropped; no one knows what happened to the aircraft. Well detailed kit is typical high Esoteric quality. Features metal detail parts.
