**** DONE: 1/72 BV222 Wiking Seaplanes / Floatplanes of WW II (1 Viewer)

[Wildcat]

Very cool Wayne, looking forward to seeing this one!

 

[mikewint]

Going to watch this one closely. If you ever find a 1/48 let me know, I just have too many 1/48s to switch horsies now

 

[Rogi]

Didn't they do a 1/48 BV-222 in the 60s or 70s?


If you really want one, theres a Vacu Form 1/48 on the big auction site for sale now

Looks awesome

Rogi, many thanks, I saw that one. You get a fuselage, wings and a tail and NOTHING else. All the rest has to be scratch built. There are some here equal to that but I am far, far from that skill level. H*ll Bells I doubt if I could make a machine gun barrel from a dowel rod!

Oh man I think he also has the engines on the very bottom pic.
but no resin canopy its a bit of a premium price for it

So I take it you will be adding on to your house Wayne?

 

[Wayne Little]

Might have too Bill....

 

[Capt. Vick]

Oh yeah!!!!!!

 

[javlin]

That looks to be a big crate Wayne

 

[Airframes]

My, my, that looks like a big one - as the actress said to the Bishop !
Should be a good one Wayne, and cries out for a water diorama.

 

[A4K]

I've got this girl in storage back in Hungary. Looking forward to seeing your work here Wayne.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Weird quirk about the instructions, IIRC the front view drawing shows the diesel engine machines, but the kit comes with radials.

 

[Wayne Little]

Some small progress...been otherwise engaged the past few days...

Added the float bay section for the starboard wing and started prepping the wing gun turret for same...

 

[vikingBerserker]

Well done so far.

Can't really imagine going back to 1/72 scale myself looking at that little turret. Good work so far Wayne.

 

[mikewint]
