HartDeco Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Hi all. Today I'd like to show another recently finished model. This time it's the Azur 1/48 Latecoere 298 floatplane. The trolley is a resin kit made by Sinifer. The fit of the kit if quite good but the struts are a flimsy. I had to put brass pins on the ends of them to to make a solid construction.. I used Gunze Aqueous paints over Alclad black primer. Weathering was done with Abteilung oil paint and pastel powders. On the trolley I used real wooden strips instead of painting the molded planks. Thank you for watching. Edited December 30, 2019 by HartDeco 48 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hi Hart Deco, this is a superb model of a very sexy floatplane! Congrats for a splendid model. I have the 1/72 Azur kit, which was one of their very first, and the but-joining of the wings and pretty much everything else has always put me off. But one day I will have to bite the bullet, as it is such a beautiful plane. Great show! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Very nice indeed,...... I built one as a Malta based aircraft wearing RAF markings but it fell foul of a fall,....... yours looks great in the original French scheme.

Harold55 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 What a wonderful job you have done bringing this aircraft to life! Beautifully painted and weathered. I have experimented with pinning struts on WWI kit and have to say it helps once you get the hang of it, I do however break a lot of those tiny drill bits in the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightpainter Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 This kit is the one I always wanted to buy but I was warned that it was difficult to build so I never bought it. But it is a pleasure to see that you did such a good job on it! congrats, I really like it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
