Now that the article has been published - see Model Aircraft - Vol 10 Issue 9 September 2011 - I can post it here ....

I modified the kit to correct the inaccurate nose and cockpit section.

The kits nose has the intakes way too big and the cockpit as a straight-sided 'box'...

The finished model looks much better with the simple mods

It is mounted on a 'sea' base - made from crumpled up cellophane flattened out and glued to a blue-painted base...

This photo shows the 'before' and 'after look of the Sea Eagles nose area....

Looks great, those mods certainly make a big difference.

Very nice model of a very weird machine! Saw one of these at Abingdon model show at the weekend. Strange how things come along at once!
