That's a cool looking plane Bish, I hadn't heard of it before seeing it here. Great work with the PEin the cockpit.

Bish,

Wow, that PE interior set went a long way to improving the kit details!  Look forward to seeing this one built!

Thnaks guys.

Mike, ye, its a good size. Haven't got the wings together yet, but the fuselage is a foot long.

Steve, the interiour definatly shows how od this kit is, typical for the day from what i remember, and definatly deserves some help. But other features like the panel lines and engines are really nicley done. I am enjoying this.

I built that kit back in '77. Not as good as yours is looking to turn out. Very nice kit, and even nicer with the work you're putting into it.

Very interesting subject Bish, and you're off to a great start! I'm figuring even in 1/72 scale, this guy is gonna be a good size when done.

After a brief visit to the armour section, its back to an aircraft build. I have not done a floatplane before even though tehre are a few German ones i would like to build. DSo its nice to finally get to building one. This was a gift from a very good mate on the forum.

I am adding a few extras including 2 PE sets from AIMS. I stumbeled across this at the last minute and its really nice, even if the instrcutions take a bit of studying to figure out. I also have some resin exhausts and AM decals from Print Scale and vac canopies from Squadron.

So first thing to tackle was to fit the PE to the inside.

And put the PE pit together. The compatment behind the PE includes the radio's and what i guess is the navigators position. The PE instructions include a suggestion for a set of resin radio's from Aber. Forunatly i could still get these as i think this set is a few years old as it mentions useing the Goffy resin engine set.

I will add seatbelts to the rear compartment but not the pit as i plan on adding seated crew figures.

I am assuming the book shelve like item is for maps, code books. before i seal up, i hope to find something to go in there.

After a coat of primer and some paint, weathering was kept like with Flory washes and dry brushing.

Thnaks for looking, more soon.
