busnproplinerfan Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Got this S.6B done recently, here's the building link of it. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235054914-pavla-172-supermarine-s6/ Overall a good kit straight from the box. I know there are some who would go crazy and super detail it. 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Beautiful. Do the tressles and trolley come with the kit? They really do make the model come to life. Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Wow! That is a very nice S6B- wish I had bought the Pavla kit! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Wow! My hat goes off to anyone who can get a model with that nice a finish out of a Pavla kit! I've built a couple of Pavla kits and they are definitely a "drive from the rough" to get anything halfway decent out of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 That's a really cool looking aircraft! I have one Pavla kit at home (Lysander), so I know their quality standard. In this regard I'd say this is a most excellent result. Best greetings from Vienna! Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony. Yep they do, they're resin so you have to paint them. I had to shorten two of them and improve the cut out for the floats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I've built the Hawk in 1/48, and have the Marsh Models in 1/32. Anything that requires any form of rigging needs forward planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that requires any form of rigging needs forward planning. I heard of rigging done after painting and before assembly, but in 1/72 it's quite hard to. Plus all the bodywork wing joints etc. have to be done first. Not the easiest, biplanes are a bit worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 A really nice model , well done! Lovely clean build and I am really pleased to see that you have correctly painted one of the floats with a higher blue/silver demarcation at the rear than the other. This is clearly seen on the one in the Science Museum in London and a point that is often missed by modellers. This might encourage me to get on with mine.

Painter's masking mistake or because one float housed a greater amount of fuel than the other to counter engine torque and thus rode lower?

There is some reason I forget. Something to do with torque I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
