DP-6A (formerly "Sea Master. . . Or is it?")

[Shasper]

Here's the mock-up of the current configuration of my revell Sea Master kit. You'll note the BAWs and other lumps n bumps, but what you may not be able to see are the two droptank halves I put on aft of the weaps bay for the new main landing gear wells.

Anything involving a Martin Seamaster is OK by me.........  

[Maverick]

Looks very snazzy Shas, quite modern in appearance.

And the landing gear storage is a good idea, too.

Taking shape finely, Shas!

[cthulhu77]

This one should be great!  Love that plane!

[The Rat]

Those winglets are the cat's arse! Excellent!

[Shasper]

Yeah I took a hint from my aerodynamics class Filling will commence sometime soon.

Shas B)

[Howard of Effingham]

Those winglets are the cat's arse! Excellent!

and the dogs b*llocks too.  

well done shasper!    

[Shasper]

Almost finished with PSR on the wing, so before too long I'll be going for final assembly, final PSR and then paint.

B) Looks good, but you do know there is no such thing as *final* PSR  

[Shasper]

Word on that Goob.

I cut the mounting pins for the wing off & eyeballed it, managed to get the putty work cut down but now by much.

[Brian da Basher]

Looks sharp as a tack, Shas! I'm looking forward to seeing more!

 Has it really almost 3 years since this thing has seen daylight? Well there hasn't been much change with this one, except instead of being finished as a USCG rescue bird I'm thinking it'll get done as a 'Nam era USN anti-surface warfare bird of sorts.




A MAD boom got added to the top of the fin.




A pair of pods mounted under the inboard wings for weapons, life rafts or para-drop goods.




As I was messing with it this morning I hit on the idea to add a fairing for a retractable IFR probe, and now the crazy idea of mounting an air-launched drone between the engine pods on the back has floated into my head. The misshaped Hound Dog from the Minicraft 144th B-52 kit is what I'm leaning towards . . .  

[Shasper]

At the closing bell this evening: Got the missile/drone/air-launched diddly-do together and mounted on the dorsal pylon . . . With any luck the last few bits will get put on & a primer coat tomorrow.

This model was recently sponsored by Dr. Pepper
