The Meccano Adventures Of TinTin Seaplane, is the latest addition to the Meccano TinTin range.

Meccano is using its 100 years of expertise and mastery of metal to create model replicas of three of the vehicles from the highly anticipated film, “The Adventures of Tintin,” which opens in the UK on 26 October 2011.

Tintin is a name with a long pedigree, the first such book by Belgium’s Georges Remi being published as long ago as 1929. It was called Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and since then more than 350 million copies of two dozen titles have been sold.

Tintin is a worldwide publishing phenomenon, and if you go to Brussels then you most certainly would enjoy making the side-trip to the fascinating Tintin museum nearby. The trailer of the latest Stephen Spielberg movie The Adventures of Tintin is with us, as is news that Meccano is to sell construction sets based on a Tintin theme.

The movie is due for release on December 23, 2011, but the Meccano sets should be available well before that.

A fantastic way to introduce construction skills for kids.
