FatFlyHalf Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Dear Fuad, Will you please, just once, turn out something that is not perfect? Why? Just so my efforts will not look so poor along side your master-works. Your humble admirer, FatFlyHalf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 It is so unfair. How can I ever build my own Swordfish with this beauty forever imprinted in my mind. Wonderful job, Fuad. Patrik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobo Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Wow Fuad, you've done it again. I can smell the salt water by just looking at this beautiful float plane. The weathering is very convincing and well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Another stunning build. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I love it! I am working on the Tamiya version currently an like your rigging a lot more than my own. Also love the weathering you have done. I don't know why but I think float planes look much better dirtied up and yours look appropriately used. Very Nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a "new" version, but, unfortunately, the plastic sprues of the body of this aircraft are in disgusting form. They are clearly worn out and in need of repair. Relatively in good shape - sprues of floats. I used a standard set of photo-etched parts from "Eduard". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 That is just stunning Fuad. Your models are an inspiration to me and, from the comments above, a whole heap of modellers around the world. Your attention to detail and the wonderful finish you get are just brilliant - thanks for sharing them and I have noted the source of the great rigging material you use. One tiny( and it is really tiny!) issue that i have is that such a weathered airframe would probably have slightly worn markings as well. Yours do look a little bright to my eyes. I'm sure you are happy with the results and that is what counts. My issue is not intended to denigrate your exceptional work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Superb work! The rigging thing must be some kind of hell. But you got the 100% solution!!! Perfect! Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there's another kit box that goes back on the shelf,,, I can't imagine even getting close to what you have done with this one, Fuad! What ArmoredSprue said- have you EVER had an off day?
