Hey all!

Happy Boxing Day to everyone who celebrates it!

As a Boxing Day present to all you Whiffers out there, I present the EP-6D Seamaster over at The Sprue Lagoon.

Excellent model - a silk purse from a sow's ear and utterly believable.
Well done!

beautifully done indeed, and it gives a life to that flying boat which would have deserved more than what it got

EXCELLENT modelling there, especially from that ancient Revell kit! 

And your thoughts about the P-6M align exactly with my own, a great pity the USN never put that wonderful looking aircraft into squadron service. Interestingly Martin actually fitted one of the YP-6Ms with a low-drag hydrodynamic tail to the fuselage that looked a little like your aft radome, but later re-instated the gun turret and its assocociated gun-laying radar.

Oh that does look nice 

[McColm]

Wow!!
I need to buy the 1/72 kit, as I've used the Revell kit on my other builds

Make sure you're on good terms with your bank manager first, as both the Anigrand and Mach 2 versions require LOTS of money!

Thanks, guys!

I appreciate all the feedback.

I have always thought that the Seamaster was an unfortunate victim of "colliding realities", and it really should have been given a chance.

I will definitely try to keep up the good work, especially now that I know it is appreciated! It's amazing how judges at model shows generally just don't seem to get the what-if idea. I'm really glad there's a place like this that does!

Happy New Year to all of you too, albeit in a few days!

Great work on a tough kit! We really need an affordable new kit of this great aircraft.

Agreed...in a "real" scale, instead of Revell's old off-beat box scale

[McColm]

Why do they choose odd scales?

Why do they choose odd scales?

Standard size boxes, and kits to fit, I  suspect.
