Description

Blackburn Shark – Floatplane Version

Highly detailed 3D-printed scale model of the Blackburn Shark in its floatplane configuration, faithfully reproducing one of the most interesting variants of this British naval aircraft.

The Blackburn Shark was developed in the early 1930s as a carrier-based torpedo-spotter and reconnaissance aircraft. The prototype flew for the first time in 1933, and production aircraft entered Fleet Air Arm service in 1934. In addition to its landplane configuration, the Shark was adapted for operation as a seaplane and could be used from ships equipped for launching and recovering floatplanes. The aircraft was valued for its seaworthiness and good handling on water. Sharks were also operated by the Portuguese Navy, which received six floatplane aircraft in the mid-1930s for coastal defence duties.

This model represents the float-equipped version and has been designed with particular attention to the unusual proportions and structural details of the original aircraft.

Model features

  • Highly accurate reproduction of the original Blackburn Shark
  • Floatplane configuration
  • High-quality 3D printing with excellent detail
  • Three British paint schemes and one Portuguese paint scheme
  • Wings divided into upper and lower sections
  • The wing sections are divided due to the considerable thickness of the original-shaped wings, reducing the overall weight of the printed model while preserving its appearance
  • The floats are also divided into sections and are hollow inside, reducing weight and material usage
  • Carefully reproduced characteristic details and proportions of the original aircraft
  • Ideal for collectors, aircraft modellers and enthusiasts of unusual naval aviation subjects

The combination of an unusual historical subject, the floatplane configuration and highly detailed 3D printing makes this model a distinctive addition to any aircraft collection.
