Designed in 1931 for the African and the Far Eastern routes of Imperial Airways, the Atalanta was an efficient and reliable airliner. Like the DH-86 the Atalanta had adequate reserve power to operate under tropical conditions (four engines) and hardly any accidents occurred. Although its career was as impressive (the last one still flying in 1944) as its looks and size, the Atalanta didn't get much publicity and remained one of the lesser known types of Imperial Airways.
The model
This museum quality (highest level of fidelity to the original) aircraft display model is produced in perspex (pmma, also known as plexiglass).
Each model of plane whose construction is performed one by one for each single customer order, is carved in the workshop on the basis of plans of the original plane, starting from a block of perspex. After this long stage of precise handcrafting of volume, the future model of plane is polished and airbrushed to a very fine degree with an excellent level of realism, based on photographs or descriptive documents of the original planes.
Windows are kept clear. The result is an exceptional aircraft model.
