The bottom looks pretty good considering I didn't mask it just kept the airbrush steady . .

Basic kit with almost no interior detail but still looks good!

Interesting looking plane.  I love seaplanes, and would love to find that kit at a flea market.

Very happy to see somebody doing this kit. Anybody ever do the HP Heyford that came out about the same time?

I temporarily put the center wing section to align the struts while the glue sets I will then remove the center section and paint the upper wings separately.

This is going to end up being a really neat looking build.  It's not an aircraft that I'm familiar with, so looking forward to see how it comes out.

Really impressed with the fit of this kit!For the pre cad era it approaches contemporary Tamiya engineering.
