Model Review
| | Mould & Assembly: The mould of this aircraft is actually very nice. It has the basic airframe correct and the gear look good also. The open cargo door is also an advantage.
Realism: This model looks very realistic. Some of the realism details are missing as with the Clearwater name being under the 1790. It is also missing some of the life rafts. And finally missing the fins on top and bottom of the aircraft. I have gone into more detail under the details collumn.
Details: The detail of this model is very nice. It is missing a few things though. First of it is missing all of the fins over the fuseloge. A major set back. Then next thing is that the model is missing the cords that go from the top of the tail almost all the way to the cockpit. The gear detail is very nice. I'm a fan of how they were able to make this model sit up correctly. The wing and props look great. They have all of the correct markings on them. The tail is also very good. The coloring/ decal placement is very good. Ok a couple of things that are missing on this model detail wise. First of all, under the 1790 on the current plane there is now Clearwater logo. Just the 1790. Second Just under the 1790 there should be a water raft. There is also one missing just in front of the landing gear. In between the USCG logo and the 1790 there should be a vent great. That is also missing. The open cargo door is an advantage. It looks great for a stationary position. Also very detailed. I wouldn't bang on the door very much because the polls appear very week and could break easily.
