Reini78 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 #6/2021 After the Beriev and the Rufe, here´s my dad´s next finished seaplane. The good old Monogram kit. First released in 1966, this is the "Hi-Tech" version from 1993 which includes PE parts. Built mostly oob, the thin main float to fuselage struts were done with plastic rods, so were the whip antennas, additional side float struts done with plastic stripes. EZ Line used for the antenna wires. Painted with Gunze H54 Navy Blue and Tamiya XF-18 Medium Blue, both ligtened up with white and some Tamiya White for the underside. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235086105-aquatic-eyes-in-the-sky148-vought-os2u-kingfisher-us-navy/ The model shows a Kingfisher that was stationed aboard the battleship USS Wisconsin in 1944/45.

HL-10 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Very nice! These older kits still have some life in them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 An excellent result. And if you want to see what it could do, check out Lt John Burns' medal-winning rescue mission on Truk lagoon in 1944. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I cannot recall ever seeing a Kingfisher grace the pages of Brit Modeller let alone one as superbly done as this. Proof that old kits can be turned into something impressive. It`s beautiful!!! Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 That's awesome! Your Dad and I both seem to be on a seaplane theme at the moment. I managed to find one of these (at a reasonable price) after a long search and it's in the 'to do' pile at the moment. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned in the Arado post, seaplane theme is over for now for my dad. Four models were enough 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
