BradG Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Damn that looks like a nice kit.....it also looks expensive! The Walrus that we have out here in the RAAF Museum is my favourite aircraft in the hangers. It's in overall yellow and looks freaken sweet.

Guest Dekenba Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I think the Walrus in the Mushroom book is the RAAF Museum one. I've seen two, one in the FAA museum & the other in the RAF Hendon museum. Just absolutely bags of character, a really interesting looking aeroplane that tells its own story. The MMP book is an unrivalled photo reference, just superb, whilst the other book has very few pictures but tons of backstory on the development and use of the plane during WWII. I find it kind of makes it more interesting and a little more involving to not just get the physical details right, but to develop an appreciation for the plane itself, for how it was used and the brave people who flew then. And this plane was used in all sorts of ways, from recce, to sea rescue to dive bombing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Glad a Walrus is in the mix and a wonderful project to follow. Keep 'em coming :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 What a fantastic-looking kit Dean! Such a wealth of detail. Let's see some build photos mate! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dekenba Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I'll get some build photo's up over the weekend, even if its just cleaning up the parts a little bit. They are very clean for a resin kit, certainly the cleanest I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dekenba Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I've placed the full instructions on my photo bucket account if anybody fancies a look, as it came as a PDF file anyway. Just checked the MMP book & the bright orange Walrus is, no surprises, the RAAF one! They also use the FAA plane and the Hendon example, which is actually a Seagull V, which is basically a metal hulled MkI Walrus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Sure is some impressive instructions - doesn't leave much to be desired. I actually haven't tried the CD in my SG-38 (instructions - who need them) but after seeing these, I think I'd better try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Dean, "AHEM" any bits glued up yet? The masses want photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dekenba Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Mike, planning on trying to fit some time in over the next 3 days or so. Work has been pretty busy the last couple of weeks, allied to which our 2 new puppies are demanding longer & longer walks. Perhaps they'll shop eating my reference material! Had a great time in Florida, but the work just created a backlog, ready for my return. Can't complain though, pays the bills, including stash augmentation & reference material reserves!
