Started a big kit! This one is laying around in the stash for a while now. Looks like a nice kit, will be oob. Kept the cockpit simple as it will hardly be visible.

Thanks mates! My cat is always watching what I'm doing 😎

Details in cockpit look good and I see that your supervisor is keeping an eye it.

That black needs a little touch up on the chest area. Otherwise, beautiful finish.

My supervisor has the same look... like: you can't afford to make a mistake 🫡

Nice start so far! I have the kit in the stash and was looking at it the other day thinking I might start it in the new year.
Love your project manager too! He looks very serious!

Welcome all!! Nice to see this kit gets so much attention already! My cat Kitty likes it too 😄!

Now this is a nice interesting project with a luck 🐈⬛ cat as supervisor 😄.
Nice interior work, would like to follow up on this one.
Good luck with build 👍👍

Erik, good to see in the first picture you have expert advice for this project.

Not my cup of tea, but very interesting to see how you tackle this huge plane.
And being a cat lover myself, its always fun to see Kitty inspect your proceedings 🐈⬛

The fit of the parts is pretty good on this kit but the halves with the engines do need some work. Also, the parts with the exhausts are moulded in 2 halves but therefore shows a seam which needs to go. This is because of the moulding process I think to create the tiny exhausts.

The seam sounds frustrating, there is great progress so far.

Dryfitted the wings which fit very good. They only need some support to prevent them from sagging.

Thanks Alec, this is a really nice, easy to build kit. A bit of monster due to it's size off course! Also nice to build a kit without any conversions etc, just old school straight from the box.

This black cat has a very bad eye. I'm not sure he likes the model. My son's white cat is staying with us temporarily. I keep him away from the models. I think the seaplane runs great. Are there any problems with it?

Thanks mates!
@ Живко, well the kit is quite good fit wise. Only negative thing I can point out at this moment is the engineering of the exhaust parts, they are in 2 pieces which creates a seam that should not be present. This takes a bit of work, times 6 😅

missed this! I join the show - I am not too late for the paint job 👍

Already on to the paint job; sprayed some RLM65 on the underside. Next up is RLM73
