hsr Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 This is my build of the Olimp/ProResin Edo XOSE-1 floatplane. The XOSE-1 was one of several aircraft which might have gone on to fame had WW 2 continued but instead ended in obscurity when the war ended when it did. This is my third Olimp effort and while the previous ones where all pleasant build this one was a terrible disappointment. While the castings look good in the box they turned out to be a veritable Swiss cheese of pinholes that took days of filling, sanding and mor filling to erase. The canopy was a well defined vac and worked well. The decals were useless and would either fall apart or curl up on the model so were replaced from my scrap decal pile. All in all this took 15 days to build and should have take much less. Enough complaining and here are the pictures: Next up is a Boeing PB-1W using the Academy B-17G in the RVHP conversion.

TonkaGuy Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Lovely! That would look superb on a waterline base! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually build a P6 Catapult by a company called Unique Scale Accessories for it, but being resin it is relatively heavy and cause the catapult to tip over so I decided to go with the beaching gear. Here is is with the catapult propped up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Never heard of the type but looks great, especially on the catapult. Well done. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsr Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 I'll save the catapult for something else. It will probably require a ships deck base to keep it from tipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
