Transall Calais is finished!

[The Rat]

It's done, it's finally done. Whew ...    

I've taken a load of pictures, and may take more, for a formal update, but here is a preview for you all. The beaching gear is finished but will not be attached until after all possible in-flight configuration photos are done. And yes, the scale is in centimetres.

That looks awesome, a good possible alternative for Securité Civile's Canadair waterbombers  ^_^

nice one Rat, it looks great    

[RP1]

Very nice, seaplanes do, in fact, ROCK.

If this is for ASW, does she land and dunk sonar?

Spectacular!  That's beautiful!     She'd look good in USN, USCG & South African markings also.

That is awesome, Rat !

Thanks for the previwe...looking forward to the in-depth article, and seeing the beaching gear !

I was in TO yesterday, but damn if I forgot about calling ! Life is too hectic. I made it to AW before it closed, tho....shoulda grabbed that little hasegawa or fujimi Kawasaki C-17 thing.....man I'm stupid sometimes !


Anyway, I'll be up on the 10th to fly out on the 11th. Maybe a beer that night ?

[John Howling Mouse]

Well, it was certainly worth all that time and effort: good job!!!

   

Now, more pics, please!

[Ollie]

That's awesome!

You shouldn't have place the ruler next to it, it looks like 1/72!!

 

[cthulhu77]

My hat is off to you, sir !!!  And I am cracking a celebratory beer while hooting about how AWESOME that looks !!!!!

[Eddie M.]

Very skillfully done. The detail makes it look like a much larger aircraft. BZ B)

Thanks guys, the encouragement I received here during the building frustrations was at times the only thing that kept me going. Nice to know the effort seems to have paid off.

Well, since the Heller 1/200th Breguet Atlantic donated its MAD boom for this project it has lost a lot of its ASW capability, so I was thinking of turning it into a water bomber!

If this is for ASW, does she land and dunk sonar?

I toyed with the idea of adding something like that, could do a refit later.

You've got my number, or let me know when you're getting in, and thanks for the decals!  

[NARSES2]

Terrific - all that effort paid off

[elmayerle]

All I can say is "Bloody gorgeous work, there."
