Not here quite a while, sorry.

 

 

Wing tips added, correction of the front of the cowl (too large) and beginning of the engraving of the central part of the upper wing.

Grey Alclad primer is used to see where Milliput is required.

Hello,  a little tired with the wings :

 

 

The floats. The largest come from Arado 196 B by Revell. It has been shortened reduced in height but widened and the bottom vacuformed.

Thanks to Revell France after sale service.

For the small floats, plugs in balsa.

 

 

 

1 mm plastic card is used.

 

 

To follow............

Tests for attaching floats :

 

 

The small

 

 

The big. I used Contrail profiles reinforced with a stainless steel tube

 

 

Since nothing is stuck, it may seem wonky........

 

 

The engine cowl support must take into account that the propeller axis is shifted up and left.

Hi,

 

I am really impressed by your work on this model. I've also browsed all your thread on Master 194 forum. Your model is inspiring! I wish I could build a masterpiece like this some day :)

 

Best regards,

Peter

Thank you for your feedback.
Peter, if you’re looking for a guide to make beautiful models, look at the P-51 C by airscale.

Hello gentlemen, 

 

Sme details on the masts of the central float, always renforced with inox tube Contrail profile.

 

 

Rhodoid square is only there for the photo.......Six hatches are missing and will be cast in resin.

 

 

 

 

 

At the rear of the masts the "big" pulley where the rudder cable runs.

 

 

Here, two small pulleys on each side.
