Seaknight & M16, red : primary seaplanes

[ericr]

whif just by the livery, but its shape with jet engines above the fuselage is remarkable enough ... 

[McColm]

What scale is that?

[PR19_Kit]

It's the A Model 1/144 kit, and it's REALLY good too! Cracking looking aeroplane, and good in blue too Ericr. 

I wish they'd do the A-40 Albatross in 1/72 too, but I'd need a World Bank loan to buy one!

Thanks Kit, got to build one of those

I have one of the 1/72nd scale ones, started it and put it away as I wasn't in the right fame of mind to complete it. Difficult kit in places and every part has to be dry fitted first regardless of how it looks, as it is a nightmare. I would attempt to finish it but I still need to pluck up the courage to finish the bba-14 I have by modelsvit.

Oooh, is it 1/72? It's ages since I saw mine, and I can't remember exactly.

[ericr]

it's 1/144 indeed, by Amodel

Somehow, I think ericr may have influenced my buying habits during my recent short trip to Japan...

I had my hands on the same beer glass... but opted for the coffee mug instead.  I didn't want ericr to think I was just stalking him...

I saw some pictures of an Anson floatplane in South Africa, so was lead to have a try at it :







the kit is from Special Hobby (a bit too high quality for my skills) and the floats from a Twin Otter

[Rheged]

As used by the South African Antarctic research people??

[ericr]

thanks for this convincing baking story of the livery !
