Convair Tradewind turbofan amphibious variant FINISHED

[Tophe]

I'm now thinking turbofans for the engines

Great aspect!

[McColm]

I didn't know that paint would alter the balance of the build so I have added rear-wheel steering  landing gear.

[Tophe]

well balanced, good!

I love the amphib idea, makes any seaplane a lot more versatile. Still got a couple in the stash, might convert one to a landplane by filling out the planing hull.

Painting and decals applied,  there not correct. Patches of the blue plastic are peeping through I'm calling this weathering.

[Tophe]

Good teaser... we are hungry of pictures now... (if possible)

[McColm]

As requested














Tyres and exhaust pipes need painting.

[Tophe]

Wow, good!

[McColm]

Calling this done,  tyres painted, I'm keeping the dent in the nose door. Photos will be going on the Finished Builds Page once the paint dries.

[Tophe]

All right, I am going to set there as "receive E-mails" to be informed. Thanks.
