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

Pretty sure kitnut617's onto that one already. ;)

I thought I had a thread running here, but I can't find it. But this is all I could find of the build

EDIT:  I remember now why there isn't a build thread, PhotoBucket was giving so much trouble when I was downloading the pics I gave up on it.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Just tuning back in after a too long absence, and what do I see?  This kitbash is inspired and well executed, and I will be hanging around to see how she turns out.  Well done!

I have to agree with what everyone's already said, outstanding work!

I remember this now.  It's very good.  What happened to it?

And  . . .  speaking of flying boats . . .  been rolling around the possibility of kitbashing an airfix PBY hull with the airfix B-24.  Your build here reminded me of that  :mellow:  Looking forward to more of the Grebe.
Best regards,

Weird idea (he says, like crossing a Sunderland & a Tracker isn't :rolleyes: ) but it'd be interesting to see! :thumbsup:
