flying boats

[woljags]

one of my Fav subjects apart from fleet air arm aircraft is flying boats,due to working 7 days a week at present i'm not getting time for much if any modeling at present,[i should have more time next month]but i have been keeping my hand in with a couple of flying boats before i start the sunderland,these are both revell kits ex matchbox of the walrus and stranraer,pics will follow shortly of my progress but i have not taken detailed pics during the builds due to not knowing how to work my new camera phone,i think i'm getting old

Cool!
Remember building Matcbox old Walrus!

Nice Bob!

Got the Revell boxing of the Matchbox Walrus myself.

Ist of these posts is of the walrus showing the example i saw at the fleet air arm ,the others are showing the detailing being added,i cut out the side windows that on the kit are just transfers blacked out as these were on the aircraft i saw,i plan to finish her as walrus 1 from hms victorious 1945 in the far east

more to follow shortly when i get some more time,

thanks for looking

Very cool. I'll be following as I just picked up an Airfix Walrus recently. I haven't opened the box yet but its a re-box of an older kit so I don't expect much. Still it will be my first go at a Flying boat and rigging. Keep up the good work

Good stuff Bob. I've had an idea for a long time to do a 1/48th scale Walrus, picking up a downed pilot - one of these days!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Now that would be REALLY cool!

 

[Lucky13]

Totally!

Looking good mate!

cheers Chaps,there's something about a flying boat that hits the spot,love to see your effort Terry sounds fantastic

 

[A4K]

Echo that, and great work so far Bob, your scratchbuilding is improving mate!

Why don't you make it as a GB entry for the carrrier build?

 

[woljags]
