Courageous Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Hi All, here is my recently completed Curtiss SC-1 Seahawk using the Smer 1/72 boxing. Built mainly OOB but a little scratch work in the cockpit was done by the adding of side consoles, a pilot and sawing the canopy open to display the innards. No issues during the build but having to add the central float and blending it in was going to cause issues when it came to fitting it to its sea base. Painted in the scheme for an aircraft from USS Iowa in 1945 using Coloutcoats enamel paints and finished off with the kit decals. Build log here: Thanks for looking.

Lightningboy2000 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Fantastic work as always matey! There's always something that you build that inspires me & I must try & do a watery base, acquire the materials etc. Pan Am Clipper some time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 She worked out very nicely, Stuart :). You don’t see many (if any) of those on BM and so she fits my criteria perfectly! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that I can inspire but your work isn't exactly uninspiring is it. 5 hours ago, billn53 said: That’s very pretty!

Cheers Martin, much appreciated and I do understand what you mean. My aircraft stash has been reduced down to mainly float planes and racers and Sabres because they are rarely seen here or at shows. You'll see my next aircraft here: Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I love it, Stuart. The greatest catapult-launched floatplane scout you never heard of. -d- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks David, much appreciated. I would've liked to have displayed it on a P6 catapult but I'm not paying stupid money for one. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
