kkarlsen Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 A little update on the Aeromarine build... Oil tanks and plumbing of the Liberty engines are done, started working on the propellers. Test fitting the parts.. 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 TorbenD, scvrobeson, Vandy 1 VX 4 and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) This is simply too good to be true - with every new progress I have to rub my eyes to make sure they don't fool me !!

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.

Phartycr0c Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 The talent just ooozes from your every pore kent. this is amazing work. how you keep the momentum of accuracy and detail throughout such a big project is beyond me. Is this likely to come to Telford cos i would dearly love to see it in the flesh at some point!

kkarlsen Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 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...
