Thank you all very much indeed for the compliments. P-Posie, I would love to see a MkXIV in 1/24th scale! It would take a bit of work, but I'm sure it could be done. I think the hardest part would be making the propellor blades, but if one was carved, maybe from wood, and then a mould made, others could be cast in resin, and the spinner too. The cowling and the rocker cover bulges could be moulded in Milliput or similar, and the fin and rudder altered as per my conversion, with the rudder carved from balsa. The wheels might be a challenge, unless a suitable pattern can be found, and new ones moulded.
I'm afraid I'm running a little behind, so the 'Diver Bird' hasn't had the AEAF stripes added yet, and the base is still drying, even though the latter is just plain 'grass'.
Hopefully, more pics very soon.
