Erik Leijdens AutorThanks mates! This kit will demand some more effort from me then my recent Tamiya builds but we will see what i'm capable of. Had build a CzechModel(ME-309) kit earlier so it's not completely new for me.
@Jens, Danke 😄

Jensdie 309 habe ich , aber leider ist die Kanzel Braun verfärbt , bei einer F 16 wäre es wohl passen 😄 ... 😠

Kees KleijwegtVery nice, I've always like the graceful (in the robust Curtiss way) lines of the seamew. Count me in too!

Martien LourensThis kit is not a problem for you. Is an interesting plane. I'm curious about the end result, Erik

Erik Leijdens AutorFinally started this one. Not a lot of building time lately but spring feels and looks like autumn at the moment so i've got some more time for modelling😄 Cockpit parts given some colours, needs some more attention and a wash and it will look ok i think. Also i've got to give a lot of attention on fitting the cockpit parts in the fuselage but i think i will manage it 👍

Erik Leijdens AutorFinally some progress after 2 months of no modelling 😄. Resin cockpit fits quite well, almost no sanding to fit it in. Fuselage halves are a bit twisted unfortunately, need some serious clamps i think.

Bulldog Scale ModelsGreat work, and it looks like that will be a really nice model when finish.

Erik Leijdens AutorAll the main parts are glued. Fit is quite good. Minimal putty needed, only around the resin parts and some at the wings 👍 Sanded it in the garden so don't mind the tablecloth😉

Erik Leijdens AutorSlowly getting there, the canopies also needed "some" filler. Love this kit 😄

Erik Leijdens AutorStarting to look like a Seamew finally. Canopies needed a lot of filler but it's looking good enough for me now. Painted the framing dark grey to check for gaps and to prevent shine through. The float was glued just a moment ago, that why she's is laying on her back😉

Erik Leijdens AutorA staggering number of 8 decals are supplied with the Seamew 🤔

Wim van der LuijtDe zeemeeuw ziet er heel goed uit! Zal goed staan in de kast als hij af is

Erik Leijdens AutorApplied some weathering, made it look like used Mew. Although the average operational life for a SO3 Seamew was only 2 months.. after that they were replaced by the plane it was supposed to replace, the Seagull 🤔

Erik Leijdens AutorBedankt Rob. Zal blij zijn als deze af is want heb zin in een nieuwe 😄

Rob van DodewaardGeloof ik zo maar heb ik nu ook na drie jets achter elkaar en nu de Buccaneer van Airfix zal ik daarna weer een echt (grapje) vliegtuig beet gaan pakken

Wim van der LuijtLooking good Erik! Rip off the masking and start the next kit!
16 September 2015, 06:35
Erik Leijdens Autor😄 Well, not so fast Wim. There are still things to do.. Antenna, cable, jig, matt coat..
16 September 2015, 19:27
Erik Leijdens AutorFinally finished the Seamew😄 Not my most beautiful build i must admit but still i'm quite happy with the result. Was not a very easy kit but it was a very fun build after all 👍

Christian BruerVery nice and sharp work. Do you spent a base / display to present the bird?
26 September 2015, 08:32
Erik Leijdens AutorHi Christian, no diorama base. The kit comes with a small jig with wheels but i did not used it because it effects the look of the Seamew in a bad way in my opionin. So it just sits on its floats in my showcase. Thanks for your comment 🙂

Hanno KleineckeExcellent work Erik, a seldom seen bird and you made it look superb!

Bernhard SchrockThanks for building this seldom type and sharing the excellent pictures.

Album info
Well, time for something different now. Let's see what I can make of it. I like this plane because it's a bit of sad aircraft.. Reluctant to fly, and replaced by the plane it was supposed to replace... 🤔
