Thanks, Tom!

Oops…John. Sorry. Massive brain fart. Got to go clean up now.

Thank you the clarification, Carlos.

Hey, Tom, thanks.

LOL…. I know you meant to quote me.

This is an old kit. The Tamiya USA guy has the missing parts and will send them no charge. These guys are good.

Yeah… I got impatient and sort of started on my second subject for this GB - Rufe floatplane.

What I’ve done thus far:

Trolley...



Pontoon floats, both center and wing floats...




photo host

While V brace was just glued on, I placed it on bottom wing holes for accurate fit. I left it to dry overnight.



Ladder...



I may jump on a third and fourth subject. I’ve always wanted to do a Val or Raiden. A fourth subject is a possible Japanese armour subject - I’m thinking Chi Ha Type 97 Tank by Tamiya

Just so you know. You're gonna want to put weight in the nose or it will be a tail sitter on the cart

Looks great so far.

Decals are on....






It won't be long before it's finished. A bit more assembly to go, minor paint, weathering and clearcoat.

Great kit! Looking good Tom. I forgot the weight in the pontoon and mine is glued to the trolly.

I did too...

I might hang this one on the ceiling instead.
