The Roden 1:72 Curtiss H16 model kit is a plastic model kit of a British biplane flying boat in 1/72 scale. This kit allows for the precise recreation of one of the most important naval aviation aircraft from World War I, designed for modelers seeking detail and historical accuracy.
The Curtiss H16 was a large, twin-engine flying boat, widely used by British and American aviation in the final stages of World War I and shortly thereafter. Its primary uses included maritime patrols, anti-submarine warfare, and reconnaissance. The 1/72 scale model allows for a faithful reproduction of this historical design, focusing on its distinctive features and proportions.
The Roden 1:72 Curtiss H16 kit includes all necessary components to build a static model aircraft:
Assembling the Roden 1:72 Curtiss H16 model requires precision. Plastic parts should be carefully cut from the sprues, then fitted and glued according to the included instruction manual. Once the structural assembly phase is complete, the model should be painted with model paints, following historical painting schemes. Next, to give the model an authentic appearance, apply the included decals. Please note that some components, including interior or engine details, may require painting before their final assembly.
The kit does NOT include model paints or model glue, which are essential for completing the model.
Most Curtiss H16 flying boats from World War I were painted in subdued colors. Shades of gray and sea blue are recommended, reflecting the camouflage colors used on patrol aircraft. Depending on the chosen paint scheme, the following colors may be useful:
Detailed painting schemes along with decal placement can be found in the instruction manual included with the kit.
