A friend, on a recent visit to Kolkata, picked up this lovely 'toy' for me. Priced at only Rs.390/- it is beautifully detailed. Finishing is very good. Flight times are more than satisfactory. With 200 turns of the rubber, it can stay up for 15 seconds or more. If you remove the pontoons, the flight time increases significantly. I haven't tried removing the pontoons as the model looks beautiful in itself!

All in all, value for money for young and 'slightly older' kids!

Cheers!
