Radleigh Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I reckon Amodel will give us a SARO Princess... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 To be honest, Radders, I expected the Princess to follow on shortly after the Brabazon, especially as it seemed to be the more popular subject. But then, who knows what goes through the wonderful (and slightly dotty) minds of the folks at Amodel. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Quote but i am at a loss as to what tools i need in order to file, sand..... generally massage the AModel fiberglass in order to get the same results i get with polystyrene. Usual blow torch, sledge hammer and rasp file David, I found I needed to lightly file the fuselage seam lines first then used wet and dry paper working through to Micro mesh cloths especially for a natural metal finish, the thing that takes the most time was either rescribing the myriad panel lines which were sometimes a little vague and/or 'clogged' or filling and removing them completely. Talking of these huge sea planes a Latecoere 631 would also be a great choice......a beautiful design, typical French design flair.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 As much as I like the subject matter (also Brabazon, Princess etc), I can't help thinking that they would've had a MUCH bigger market potential in 1/144. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I would still prefer one in 1/144. Despite I have a CMR resin one built and another waiting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janneman36 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) My girlfriend told me se knew a place for it at our home ( no no not the bin) and she wants me to buy one.....never saw that coming.

It's great to see these but I'd also like to see them in 1/144 too...... but as all plastic kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It left about a week before I got there and was on the wrong part of the fire to see it or the dc-10 just not not sure if I have the shelf space for one in this scale I had heard about it coming up here on the news, during a nightshift. As soon as I got home that morning I grabbed the camera and drove out to Gregoire Lake and snapped a few pics. I had one more nightshift to do and next morning I was back out with the camera and a video camera, too. As I'm the moderator on The Flyingboat forum ( http://theflyingboatforum.forumlaunch.net/index.php ) I felt it was my duty to get pics and video, especially as it was only 25kms. from home. Here is the video I shot that morning. I know it's not great but it's the best I could do. https://youtu.be/j-_MlIzZaZw https://youtu.be/1_VruJgYVgA Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janneman36 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I bought one this afternoon in Amsterdam ......still have to collect it so i have to rent a trailer for it....

zebra Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I want one of these so much, but it's just too big. The fuselage length is fine - shorter than my Tu-134 - but the wingspan's the killer. But if I can make some space for it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelglue Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Wow, tucked away in the turtle shell I call "parenting", I missed this one completely. I wonder is there a marking option for the mars that has old WW2 style stars'n'bars without the red bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
