Směr Supermarine Walrus 1/48 Now Finished

quite a few sink marks had to sort in the pit , no hole what so ever for control stick and the navigator refused to sit lol gentle heat sorted it out better even though we wont see him when its closed up , started adding some scratch details seat pads and radio , still w.i.p going to add more , no idea what colours the crew uniforms are lol

to add to the hastle i ordered these from china who knows when they turn up , be a first for me so should add some fun to it if it works out

A very interesting and noteworthy build sir.  I'm very curious to see the final product!

This is a cool looking aircraft and I'm interested to see what you do with it.   I have a 1/72 Walrus but stalled out on the top wing assembly, never having done a double winger before, even though my instructions are in English.

Delightful project. I've always liked flying boats no matter the time frame or nationality. I'll be following your build with great interest.

RE: Flight crew uniform colors (or, colours, if you prefer):

Here are a couple links that you probably already know about but might prove of some help:

thats the little chaps painted 1 is a Amputee as his foot is missing , weathered the pit added note pad and pencil and made harness out of pot noodle lid :)

Bringing back nightmares, FtF. Looking good so far. Like the idea of the paper and pencil! Wish I'd done that.

Nice work so far on that oldie....but it's a great challenge trying to make a silk purse from a Pigs ear, makes the build a little more interesting.

Have fun with it mate.

Ha ha, I've known a few women that way, too!

 

well last 2 days have had me making 50 eyes for the rigging out of 0.5 wire wrapped around a needle then 50 micro sized holes into the parts and fitting them , also cut up the canopy so i can have it in open postion when built

This is great! Real model building--no shake & bake on this one!  I've had this kit out on the bench at least 4 times in the last couple of years but just cannot pull the trigger yet.

Noble task you have. Good luck with it I'll be watching!

ran the power wires for the motor and hid them , going to use them as rigging to the engine so you dont notice them , joined the 2 halfs together , primed the wings bored now till the motor comes

Looking real nice Fred. After those eyelets, its a wounder you can see straight.

How you finding those Alclad enamels.

Thanks Fred. Interesting they have gone for an enamel paint when everyone else seems to be bringing out new Acrylics. Nice top see a range of pre thinned enamels.

Ye, i have preffered enamels for a long time. Though there are some new lacquer based acrylics that are meant to be nice, i have some Mr paint i am going to try on my 32nd Stuka. Never hurts to try somthing new, i think i will get a couple of those Aclad ones myself next time i get some Aluminium from them.

Are you saying they are a lacquer based enamel.
