Vought Kingfisher


825

Recommended Posts

Here we are almost done. The wing floats took a bit of gentle effort but much less taxing than I expected. Transfers from the Aero Master Fleet Air Arm Part 2 sheet whic has a fairly anonymous TSS camouflaged Kingfisher with no markings beyond roundels and serial apart from a name 'Brenda' on the cowling. I used these apart from the serial and the name. The serial FN709 is 8 inches rather than standard 6 inches and the Airfix boxing has transfers for FN718 in larger size so they were used for the FN7 part and the 0 and 9 from a Model decal sheet. Only the 0 is currently on. The walkway non slip sections on the float came from offcuts from the Airfix wing walkways.

Nice one 825

 

Although building and finishing 2 aircraft at the same time to such a high standard is really cruel on those of us who like myself can only achieve an average job on 1 !
