1/48 D-Day Walrus


Recommended Posts

Thanks for all the priase, very much appreciated.

Well done Oz,

What a fantastic model and I can sympathise with the wing alignment too, which makes your efforts doubly good! Love the paint scheme and the D-Day stripes but must say that 277 Sqn was an RAF Air Sea Rescue Sqn and not a Naval Air Sqn!!

All the best

Buggger! don't do RAF! I stand corrected Tony, thanks for that....!

First rate job!

Talking of rigging hell, what technique did you use?

I started using Bobs buckles, but struggled, hats off to you guys who make that look easy, I'll give them another go on a future project, just need practice!

I ended up using EZ line, a railroad product for telephone wires, its stretchy thread, drill some holes, CA glue one end, then tention it a little, and CA the other end, works a treat, also means if you knock it there is quite a lot of "give".

Stunning, love it.

The footprints on the wings - they are presumebly walkways???? Brilliant.

Graham

Either that or gremlins with dirty boots!

Thanks all.....

She is not really a beauty queen, indeed! :winkgrin:

Nevertheless she is a great and amazing model!! :thumbsup2:

Your aligning wing problems in mind and the poor availability of the C.A. Kit, I still hope for a complete new future release of her! :heart:

If someone can imagine all the problems and setbacks going in hand with such a shortrun kit, we can`t compare it with "normal" kits....

Absolutely stunning result!

Thx for sharing!

And yes, she`s a beauty!

Great build of a not so simple kit from what I have heard. Nice one

I always wonder that the same designer did this, the Schneider Trophy racers and the Spitfire. For the love of me I can't see the design DNA from Walrus to the others!
