Patrik Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Finally completed to my satisfaction. The vacform parts were used for the basic shape, but (too) many other parts and details had to be scratchbuild, including full interior, undercarriage and the ventral pannier. White metal engine, wheels and propeller. The build can be reviewed here http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234980009-the-other-walrus-esoteric-172-vacform/page-1 Finished as all silver N9532 believed of No. 423 Flight at Novar ca. 1923/24. Hand brushed with Revell and Humbrol enamel paints. Decals from the kit – excellent quality – despite of their age. As usual with me - no rigging. Thank you for looking and for your comments.

tonyot Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 That really is very nice indeed,......I do wish that you had rigged it though, then it would be a notch higher again. Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 That is absolutely gorgeous....but it is let down by the lack of rigging! It really isn't that difficult and makes such a huge difference...... Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Beautiful (probably not a term used often for the Walrus)! Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 A beautiful model! Rig it and you have a real show stopper. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Esoteric is the word. A beautiful build of a beautiful (!) aircraft. Your silver dope finish is superb, especially bearing in mind it is brush applied. It was quite a contraption, the Walrus, that's for sure. It's certainly not lacking in character though, which is excellently captured in your model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
