Should have had this one done sooner but overall it was a fun (and tedious) little kit. I think this is my new favourite float plane!

more pics in the finished thread!

This turd has been polished!

I use to get those needles but somehow, I can't find them here....Weird :blink

They made better cannon barrels than other metal tubes .

Anyhow , making progress (y)
