Reini78 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Besides the Russian Beriev in progress, my dad starts the next seaplane. A Mongram classic....the kit dates back to 1966!! This is the HighTech version with PE parts released in 1993. DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson Duvalier Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 🙂 Very happy to see you build this, Reini. I had (well, still have) this kit, bought it when it came out, but I mislaid the instructions almost as soon as I'd opened it and as I rarely finish anything anyway never got round to nipping any PE or plastic from the trees. The wet blanket in me wants to say the float is too small vice the Edo float, but the contagious enthusiasm says it's just fine for a Vought float, and that's all contingent on whether I'm half-remembering someone else's advice correctly. The kit's raised panel lines and rivetty bumps are not a drawback on a 1/48 Kingfisher model if you can get zen and work with 'em. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 the wing halves didn´t fit together so well, needed some work decided to cut off the main float for better handling and alignment, applied some primer to see where still some work is neccessary DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then the PE parts didn´t fit anymore so used some plastic rods for new wires.
