And my dad started the next seaplane. Don´t know which scheme yet. DSC_0007 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr cockpit in progress, RLM02 applied DSC_0008 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0009 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0010 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0011 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

As you maybe can see on the last pics, although my dad built up the engine and cowl correctly with all the allocation pins, it turned out that engine and cowl are a bit off-center to say about 2mm turned to the right. My dad could remove the cowl and he´s gonna cut off the engine and try to mount everything correctly. DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

Tide came before they could recover the aircraft.

#3/2021 And my dad has finished his first 109 in 2021. Hasegawa kit, bomb rack and 50kg bombs from Zvezda, Eduard seatbelts, EZ Line for antenna wires, plastic rods and lead wire for the brake lines. RLM74/75/76 painted with AK Real Color. Shortened the legs to get a more realistic look.

While he was building the Beriev I thought why not add some more seaplanes, haven't built any before. So he started the old Monogram Kingfisher which was now for a while in our stash. The Rufe was my Christmas present for him. Most probably he will also build Italeri's Ar196...
