I was also fascinated when I met photo of Clipper in this scheme. And this was a very good decission that I did this trolley. Even it is is only an approximation of how the real trolley looked like, since I had only few photos posted by a BM mate... 6 hours ago, J Sherratt said: Wow that is an impressive looking model.

Learstang Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Very impressive model, J-W! It is huge! That is also a very impressive collection of models - I especially like the SCW set. I may have about as many SCW kits, but all yours are built up, whereas most of mine are still in their boxes. Best Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Regards, Jason Thank you Jason. I still have few (about 5 or 7) SCW machines in my stash and last year I thought for while that I will do them in series, but instead (suddently in last autumn) I turned to US Navy machines doing series of three Grummans (Duck, Widgeon and Goose), three Curtisses (Seamew, Sehawk and Segull - not finished yet) and three big boats: Coronado, Mariner and now Clipper. I am thinking on continue this series with Sikorsky S 43 (Special Hobby) and PBN-1 Nomad (Broplan conversion with Academy kit), then likely I will turn back to SCW continouing floatplanes with Savoia SM 55 and Heinkel He 59 (maybe....), Cheers J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 That would be nice to see a SCW He 59. I have the kit too, but all those struts... Best Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.1127 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I followed this build from afar but signed up partly to comment on it because I found it quite inspiring. The speed and skill with which you tackled this kit is very impressive in my opinion and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it come together. I remember building the 1/144 scale Airfix kit when I was a nipper with my dad. I've had a fondness for the shape of the 314 ever since and your build really captured it and brought back some fond memories. Thank- you P. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 That is a really impressive bit of work. Hard to believe it is a vac form. I enjoyed the WIP Too, Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be nice to have injected kit of Clipper in 1/72. Maybe one day....The shapes of Clipper are really very nice, 6 hours ago, Viking said: That is a really impressive bit of work.

stevehnz Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 That is really rather gorgeous Jerzy, you've made a super job on that difficult kit & you've taken the best colour scheme these ever wore & absolutely triumphed with it. I'm liking it so much. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Steve, many thanks! I am rather satisfied how it turned out, it could be better of course, though. But the quality of vacu wasindeed a bit disapointing if you compare to for example Broplan sets... Regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a really nice time spent on doing this model, I tried self-printed decals and the size of model was really unusual. . .And I am very surprised, that it was only 3 and half years ago, 11 hours ago, Paul Alan Bardell said: That's a great model of a beautiful aircraft.

When I look now on it from a nearly 4 years distance - for sure it was one of the most challenging play of all my so far models (ie. within ~55 years of modelling....), perhaps even the top one. On shelf it looks the biggest in collection, even two Me Gigants *321 and 323) standing near looks smaller, although they have bigger wing spans...
