The Boeing 314 Clipper was an American long-range seaplane manufactured by Boeing from 1938 to 1941. One of the largest aircraft of his time, he had the necessary range to cross the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The first flight 314 on the San Francisco-Hong Kong road left Alameda on February 23, 1939 with a regular passenger and a foreign aircraft service No. 14 starting on March 29. A simple ride on this road took more than six days. PROTOTYPES HISSTORICS Flights through the Atlantic were an evaluation for pilots and passengers, even if they occur quite often and regularly in the first half of the 20th century. The ride often takes most of the day, the machines were not credible and the weather conditions caused stress with every minute. And suddenly a plane has emerged that offers passengers unparalleled comfort and safety. Even with unexpected landing over the ocean, it was ensured the survival of everyone on board. The secret is that it was a Boeing 314 Yankee Clipper seaplane. It was like one of the floors of a luxury hotel pull-out chairs, porcelain restaurant tableware and cutlery. It was such a plane where James Bond could order his favorite cocktail without having to get up and drink it from a crystal glass. The design of the seaplane and resource reserves allowed it to stay in the air for up to a day without refueling and landing on the water in the event of a malfunction, and continue his road like a giant boat. World War II changed the functionality of these aircraft and the luxury of air transportation has become a thing of the past. As a tribute to the creation of American engineers, the Metal Time team created the Splashing Dreamer Set based on the design of this glorious Hydraveon. Each aircraft model has its own lettering. Why did designers choose this particular design to create it from stainless steel, moving parts, provide spring and accent color components? Splashing Dreamer is the story of the famous seaplane. This was in addition to its luxury an extraordinary technique of its time and many of its technical characteristics are used in modern aircraft. The Splashing Dreamer is a four-engine monowing seaplane with a distinctive tail fin geometry. To highlight the status of this aircraft, the Metal Time team has used colorful stainless steel parts in model design. The coatings of the engine trays, floats and tail stabilisers are copper-gold. The door of the aircraft cabin is also marked with this colour.
