| Scale Model Member | Free download: Card Martin Mars Water Bomber
Here's the biggest, the Mars Martin water bomber which can carry up to 30 tons of water. The last 2 in existence 'live' in Canada. Even at 1:72 it's huge and is surely at the limit for the card modeller. But it is directly comparable with my other water bombers, all 1:72.
This magnificent beast has a wing span of 80cm, and is printed on 19 card sheets + 2-3 on paper for the instructions.
It's not easy: as it is big, you don't need tiny fingers. On the other hand, tiny errors in cutting, or in angle deviations result in minor adjustments. The modeller has to think at each stage, and make minor adjustments whenever necessary.
Any ideas for other fire bombers?
To help me, please indicate on my home page which of the 9 models interest you, and I will consider making improvements, add more detail etc etc.
Have fun
