Oil tanks and plumbing of the Liberty engines are done, started working on the propellers.

Beginning to look like an Aeromarine.

The passenger figures have been altered and cleaned up a bit, to fit the cabin. 

 

Thanks for looking: Kent

Thanks Jan, yes the Aeromarine is very cool.

But I think you may be underestimating how little is used from the original Felixstowe kit.

Almost all the parts for the Felixstowe are still present on their sprues in the box ;-)

 

90% of all parts have either been scratched, converted or altered in some way.

Up until now the only thing I haven't 'touched' yet, is the trolley...

The Curtiss F-5-L has different dimensions altogether from the F.2a, not to mention the Aeromarine conversion on top of that...

 

Just a little look back to were it all started...

The extra three feet which was needed for the extended hull of the F-5-L, it was a horrendous piece of work...

Sorry but I'm not sure if I would do that again.

 

Cheers: Kent

Thank you Dave, appreciate it. I would like to attend Telford again, at some point.

 

Here's a little update on the progress, although small it took me forever to get this far...

It was fun though, being able to use other colors, than the usual grey/green/black...

I had a great time working on the lady with the feather/fur boa, trying to make her look like a 'flapper'.

 

Pilots, and 9 passsengers,  I really could use one more...

 

Cheers: Kent
