This is the place to read all the news, facts and rumours, sent to SEAWINGS by all our enthusiastic flying boat correspondents and modelers around the world which concern new 1/72nd scale flying boat model kits. I will not, however, list anything that is not corroborated in writing, or that I suspect is untrue. Every effort, within reason, will be made to ensure that this listing is as accurate as it can be at the time of posting.

Consolidated Coronado

A Consolidated Coronado in 1/72nd scale is about to be released by Mach 2. I hope it is better than their previous kit, the Martin Mariner, but we must applaud their efforts in bringing this large flying boat into injected kit form as it has previously only been available in vac-form. Thanks to our correspondents, SEAWINGS has a huge store of references on this craft, and I will be expanding the current galleries as soon as the release is confirmed to assist all of you in obtaining first-class reference material to build with.
