1/48 Monogram OS2U Kingfisher

Flightline Engineering...ah, yes! Mark Buchler's site. He had or has nice upgrades for some classic like the Lindberg F11C kit.

I look forward to following your build.  I like the old Monogram kit, but I acknowledge that it can always stand some upgrading.

I built it as a kid, but in the landplane configuration. Someday I'll get around to building it again.

Great to see that some 3-D printer has come to the rescue of that old seabird, since the Cutting Edge resin corrections are no longer available. The cockpit looks great and is badly needed with that open canopy! 
I'm looking forward to seeing how yours will dress up! 

Thanks Tony, Don and Brandon. 

Don: Wait'll you see the upgrade kit. It takes this one to a whole new level. I've got another automotive project to finish but if I get to mine before you do yours, I'll cover the pros and cons of the upgrade to give a heads up on what to expect. 

Brandon: I may be joining your GB with this one. Just gotta get this Camaro I've got going finished.

I built this one and did resin pits and float from Lone Star Models. That was before all the 3D stuff came out. It looks great and you'll love having it done. Looking forwad to seeing this one come along.

I loved that kit!  Built mine in the early sixties, but it was a very nice kit.  I'm going to look at that upgrade kit, then look for the plane kit.

Nice project Joe
