pre war Silver walrus


Recommended Posts

Airfix 1/48 Walrus

 

715 flight, HMS Birmingham, china station, 1938.

 

Airfix's lovely walrus kit, abit disappointed in the moulding seams and some warping. went together well.

painted with tamiya flat aluminium, kept the weathering to a minimum as they where kept very clean in service. 

decals by model alliance, used eduard steel seat belts, which are very nice and easier to use than brass, the guns are 

brengun resin ( just noticed the front one has disappeared in the photos, need to rescue it from the carpet monster.)

just after i started this airfix announced they where releasing a 'silver wings' boxing!!! sods law!!

thanks for looking.

A great looking Shagbat, hope mine turns out as well as yours.

 

I've also fallen foul of Sod's Law, got an Xtradecal set so I can do mine in a French navy scheme - similar to the one they've announced. Buggritt!!!!

Hello Invidia,

Prewar color scheme looks alright for me.

Very brisk finish.
