Supermarine S.6B (1931) (ARKmodels 1:72 ex-FROG / NOVO)

[MicTroy23]

Good day, colleagues and guests! 
I present to your attention, one of my past models. To tell you the truth, the model is not easy to assemble. The source material is not of the best quality. Better make a list of modifications and assembly plan beforehand, which is intertwined with the step-by-step painting (that's in my case). The "water" on the base made for the first time, from building transparent silicone, a little bit painted. 
From the modifications: a cabin, swigs, floats, struts, pilot, riveting, stand. 
Paint and varnish with brushes. Paints: GSI Mr.Color urethane-acrylic, Tamiya acrylic, Tamiya varnish, simple pencil, "Moment" silicone. 
Enjoy the view!

Good job!

First time I have seen a model correctly painted with the stripe on the port wing!

I assume the stripe was to line up with the pylon to accurately judge the turn?

Very nice to see an old kit so well put together, and very well presented.

Superb display of this trailblazing machine!

 

The sea base and the figure make all the difference in visually reenacting the triumph of Supermarine, not to forget the generously open purse of the redoubtable Lady Houston.

 

Kind regards,

Wow, what a result with a 60 year old kit! I have one of these hiding somewhere but I won't get anywhere near such a good result.

You never fail to make me smile, Mic. Lovely idea to have the victorious pilot waving to the crowds. I don't think the silicone sea quite works - the waves seem too steep and chaotic perhaps? The aircraft is a gem, as I seem to write often on your RFI posts.
