A man can never have too many flying boats in his collection. Here's what I've been doing to fill in time before aGolden Age group build on HyperScale starts in December. For those that want some insight into the kit check out Ken Duffey's build of the same kit here on Britmodeller: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235006699-beriev-be-10-mallow-172-scale-amodel-kit/&page=1 The kit goes together quite well for a limited run production, with a reasonable fit being achievable most of the time after some trimming and filing in places, particularly involving some thick flash here and there. But on the whole the fit is good once the parts are cleaned up. The kit appears to be CAD-designed, with possibly 3D printing of the masters. This gives design precision, but I suspect the use of epoxy or metal-coated epoxy tooling, which can warp slightly, may have resulted in flash in various openings where the mould halves have not quite sealed together. I have to say however, that I am impressed with A-Model's recent kits (their DH.60 centre-float amphibian, which I recently bought, appears to be a gem). I also believe they are producing Modelsvit's kits too, as these are tooled in a very similar manner; and like A-Model, larger subjects need multi-part fuselages because of tool size limitations. Anyway, here's where I'm up to - Essentially all of the major sub-assemblies are completed, and once I join the hull halves I hope to make finish things off reasonably quickly.

I can't keep up with all these new releases from the Ukraine...... Hot on the heels of the Modelsvit M-17 Mystic, comes the new 1/72 scale Amodel kit of the Soviet-era jet flying boat - the Beriev Be-10 'Mallow'. Box art..... Probably due to mould size limitations, the fuselage is in front and rear halves - which might make for an interesting joint !! The third part of the fuselage is the tail gun position - plus the centre section and wing fences. Upper and lower centre section parts.... Upper..... .... and lower wing halves.. There is quite a lot of flash present - but the engraved panel detail is well executed Ken
