Description
The 1/72 scale Canadair CL-215 is a model kit of the amphibious aircraft designed for aerial firefighting and search and rescue. The real aircraft, known for its distinctive twin-engine design and ability to scoop water from lakes, rivers, and the sea, is a piston-engined predecessor to the turboprop CL-415. Model kits of the CL-215, often produced by manufacturers like Heller, typically capture its unique hull shape, high-wing configuration, and large pontoons. They usually include decals for various liveries from international firefighting squadrons, and some kits may offer parts for both land-based and water-based display options
