Směr Supermarine Walrus 1/48 Now Finished

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!

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

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.

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

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:

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.

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

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
