Description

This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of a Salmson 2. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.

The failure of the unconventional Salmson-Moineau S.M.1 saw the firm return to conventional designs, and their next production airplane was a winner, the Salmson 2A2. The Salmson 2 was powered by the powerful and reliable 260hp Salmson Canton-Unné 9Za radial engine and the airframe was strong and well-built. Starting in mid-1917 the Salmson 2 started replacing A.R.1’s and Sopwith Strutters in reconnaissance escadrilles, and it was an immediate success. Its only drawback was the large separation between the pilot and observer, necessitated by the placement of the fuel tank. Provision for a camera was made via a trapdoor in the observer’s compartment. Another innovation was the addition of self-sealing fuel tanks, which greatly cut the incidence of aircraft fire.

The model is offered in different materials. See the FAQ for a comparison of the different material choices. In the Shipping tab, please note the increased shipping costs for an order with mixed materials.

Shipping:  Shipping varies from about US$7 to US$15 per order, depending on the destination country.  See your cart for an exact number — the prices may vary with currency fluctuations.  Orders over US$300 may get free shipping (but see the note on mixed materials).

Mixed Materials:  Nylon prints are shipped from a different factory than resin prints, so if you place an order with a mix of Nylon and Resin, you will be charged shipping for each material, and each will arrive separately.

Taxes:  Sales tax — where applicable — will be added for U.S. shipments.  Value-added taxes (VAT) may (or may not) be collected by your postal carrier on receipt, which is known as “Delivery At Place”.  Unfortunately, since my printing and shipping partner has no way of marking shipments as VAT-paid, this website cannot collect VAT on your behalf.

Customs:  Most orders should be small enough to avoid customs duties, but you may want to check your local regulations.  If duties are due, they may be collected by your postal carrier.  E.U. customers may be able to avoid duties by keeping their order under €150.
