Grumman FB-2G Grebe - FINISHED - pic's pg.10

[Old Wombat]

Right! Getting to a point where photo's should follow in a couple of days.

Had to rebuild the landing gear (a measurement error meant they were too short).

Wheel wells are done, floats & struts are done, wings & tail are on, comm's dome fitted to the tail & EPIRB/PLB locator domes fitted to the wings.

Still a tiny bit of PSR & some odds-&-ends to be fitted, then I'll hit it with a coat of grey primer & take some photo's.


Thanks for your patience!

Photo's:




















There is still some touch-up & fix-up work to be done (primer's good like that ) but, pretty much, ready for the (very basic) paint scheme.

Decals are another issue. Printing my own has become a non-event. I may be able to wing it with what I have, though. We'll see.

She's going to be a "Royal Australian Navy Coast Guard" SAR bird.


Cheers!

Looking VERY impressive, specially the main landing gear and wells etc.

    Where to start on this one ? First off, sorry I haven't been checking in ! The name makes me think of an inter-war biplane and I keep thinking I've seen the finished product, obviously thinking of a different thread. Secondly, wow. And wow, Whif of the year candidate right there ! What a kit combo !
    I've just saved every pic from this thread to a file, and would love to try this one day. Just looks so right ! As soon as I grow my other arm back I'm going to do some testing at 72nd scale ( more fun to play with  ) using a Monogram Albatross.

Thanks heaps, gents!

Man, i've been missing out on another one...
Had to go back lthough i'm not a big fan of the type of plane, that is looking great, excellent work for sure!!

[Old Wombat]

Thank you very much, guys!


DfZ; I'm not much of a flyingboat/seaplane/amphibian fan, myself - with the exception of the Sunderland & the Catalina - but this combo just called out to me, so I built it.

I want to build a Sunderland Amphibian one day.  Completely RW apart from the undercarriage.

Pretty sure kitnut617's onto that one already.
