Prototype history
The idea to cross a boat and an airplane came to the minds of people who carefully studied the world around them. Like the idea of ​​aeronautics in general. Of course, their humanity borrowed from birds. I consider the beginning of the era of flying boats to be the 10s of the 20th century, although the first hydroplane took off in the air as early as 1909. It was created on the basis of its own engine by the American inventor Curtis. And already in 1913, the Ukrainian designer Grigorovich tested the M-1 hydroplane, which marked the beginning of the era of flying boats.
The history of aviation honors the records set by seaplanes: two dead loops on Grigorovich's amphibian, the speed record of the Soviet Be-10 at 912 km / h, the world's largest flying boat, created in China already in the 20s of the new century.
The designers of "Metal time" could not ignore this important milestone in the desire of mankind to fly and presented the modular model "Breeze Drifter".
This is a prototype that incorporates the characteristics of a typical propeller hydroplane. Of course, it does not float, but it has a spring mechanism that drives the screws of the "engines".

Purpose
Models are made up of many, small parts, which may be dangerous to children under 14 years old. The assembly of the model by children under 14 should be carried out under the supervision of parents. Models research and assembly advance technical creativity skills inspire science and technology history research.
Models of Metal Time are active leisure and superb gifts, interior embellishments, installation elements, models and showcase stands.
To make them gatherable and exchangeable, each of our models is assigned a unique serial number. The Metal Time Owners' Club is a group of people who are zealous about designing.
The loyalty program of Metal Time presents owners of our construction sets with pleasant surprises. Our models do not require glue or adhesive. Each part snaps off the sheet, then firmly snaps together.
