Shorts Sea Colt UR.2 ++FINISHED ++

[McColm]

I can't remember where I previously posted this build, so here's the new rendition. In the RW there has been floatpane versions of the An-2 Colt, none fitted with the Rolls-Royce Griffon engine.
A work in progress using the 1/72 Trumpeter An-2 Colt and spare parts as a reconnaissance (SLAR pod fitted to the side of the fuselage) /utility aircraft .

Neat. BTW, there were a LOT of weird concepts based on the An-2 airframe, even including ekranoplans with reversed delta wings.

I've gone for a sea green all over paint scheme with decals taken from a Shorts Stirling bomber.

I haven't masked the cockpit canopy so it's all freehand, I'm calling this build finished. The propeller isn't glued in place.
It's got that weathered look about it.
