rkennerley Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 my next one for the GB is this one from revell which will be done as the MS version i have got the box open and even though it looks like there is a lot of flash it is not really bad the only thing i am not liking is the raised panel lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkennerley Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 seems like i havent done much but have dona a fair amount i would have the body together but i messed up the turret luckily im am doing the MS which dose not have the rear turret so i an putting that together at the moment i dont know if i will have the crew in it yet just doing them so i have the option i have also started putting wings together no filler yet just a lot of flash to sand i did find the fit to the body to be rather bad but easy to fix,the front alignment pin on the wing is 2/3mm to low so when put together you end up with a large step so i have cut it off and drilled a hole in the right place and put the pin on the body because there is a nice sleeve to glue it into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowmk9 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Looks great, you're doing a top job so far. This flying boat looks very pretty. Remove the gun turrets and replace the engines with radials and it would make a beautiful civillian flying boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkennerley Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 finally got that paint on and i am really liking this plane and i will definitely be doing another at some stage to improve on this one because although it needs a lot of tlc the kit is not bad and i think with a re scribe of the panel lines it will be really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcanicity Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 A fine build of a most handsome flying boat. I love the handling trolley, did that come as part of the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonb13 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Just seen the pics in the finished thread, it looks great! I gotta ask, what's the large circle around most of the aircraft? J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkennerley Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 no idea really i just did the Ms version to be different i think it is some sort of radar set up maybe??? perhaps someone out there can enlighten us further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkennerley Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The MS variant was a minesweeper, the hoop is a degaussing device, creates a magnetic field that I believe caused havoc with the mines? Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
