Hi Dan,
We welcome another Goose to the flock. I think yours makes three
Hey who wants to build a Russian jet seaplane:
https://www.scalemates.com/kits/982130-amodel-72329-be-10
Less than 30 built, but they entered service! I had to look this one up, as I always thought it was just a prototype like the Seamaster.
Amodel kits aren't the easiest kits to build, but it would deffinitely be easier than a Mach-Poo. Oh dang, I want one now!
“Ya ya ya, unicorn papoi!”
Roger that Dan, glad to see some civilian guys in here. I've got you on the roster. Looking forward to the build.

I just saw this over on the Civil Aircraft thread and would like to jump in as civil floats are of special interest to me. Below are some previous builds.
I have a 1/48 Linberg Goose that I have started and need motivation to finish. I am modifying it to match one that my dad wrenched on when I was much younger. It is based on this pic from a company picnic.
I added some interior, have been reshaping the tail, and changed some of the toy like details.

Mopar Madness What's funny about this is 15 years ago, when I was in my early twenties, I wouldn't have even noticed the burger!! Lol...

I guess since I'm 27 I get a "Get out of Jail Free" for not noticing the nose on burger first. I screen shoot this to my wife and that was the first thing she noticed and laughed at me for looking at the girl first.

Heck...the conversations alone are addicting, but I am having a great time and I look forward too many years of this.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

LOL atta boy Hunter! Go for it man!
Laughing my head off!! I may have bit off more than I can chew but I am going to give it one heck of a try. I am definitely going to build one at a time. I went back and reviewed my order and read the highlights on the Albatross and I noticed the specs on it and when I saw 329 pieces my jaw dropped and HOLY GAUCAMOLIE Steve, 329 pieces!!! I better eat my Wheatie's.

Thanks again for letting me join.
scottrc Welcome to the GB Hunter.
Welcome to the GB Hunter.
Scott - Thank you sir, so far modeling has been great alone....so a group has to be even better. Plus I will be able to pick up on tips, techniques and see a lot of great builds. Heck, before you know it I'll be hosting one.....laughing
modelcrazy Hunter, Either one would be cool! I love the Albatross and there are very few civilian subjects on here.
Hunter,

Steve - Well you help me make a decision on which one....I'll build the Cessna 172. I have an idea that I am going to plan out and give it a go. I ordered both of them to get me a "stash" started.
Brandon - Thank you, and I look forward to being a part of this GB!!
Okay Hunter, you're on the roster. Welcome aboard.
Hello BrandonK & Steve -
If you two don't mind I would like to jump in on this GB. I have 2 choices but will narrow it down to 1 by the end of the week.
My first choice is the HU-16A Albatross
As you can see this is the USAF format....my thoughts on this build are to locate the decals for the USCG and make it the "Final Flight of the Albatross" when the USCG retired the Albatross in 1976. I just need to find USCG decals for this 1/48 beauty.
Or just go easy with the Cessna 172 and come up with same type of theme.
I will definitely let you know very soon.
Thanks,
P.S. The badge is very cool
scottrc I see a catapult/turret scratchbuild project in the far future.
I have been thinking the same thing for mine. I've seen them done but I think that may be some work.
Well, I ordered it. Then I realized this thing is 1/32 so its going to take up some room when complete. And to me a Kingfisher needs to be displayed on a catapult. I see a catapult/turret scratchbuild project in the far future.
plasticjunkie BK Post up some pictures of the KH kit. I'm sure it's a stunner.

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
Now that I have completed a Kitty Hawk kit I know they make one heck of a fine fitting and well detailed kit. I opened my Kingfisher up and checked it out and it is very very nicely done. I also heard from Mike at Lonestarmodels and he is pouring my pit and float for my old monogram OS2U and I found an old Cutting Edge Super Detail cockpit set for one as well. I have two 1/48 so that works for me. I'll most likely have Mike pour me another float and build both kits along side my 1/32. Gotta love those Kingfishers.
