scvrobeson Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Like the little cart for it. That is always a challenge with flying boats/seaplanes, figuring how to display them. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandbagger Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 Hi all, I'm just waiting for the display case and propeller to complete this build. As soon as it is done I'll post some photographs. Thanks to everyone who followed and commented on this build - much appreciated, Mike scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Really sweet build, Mike! Glad you built this as I have one in the stash, along with the Omega MB bis. I also will pre-ask if I can post it on the website when you post your final RFI pics as I can see it is going to be an unusual and spectacular model!

sandbagger Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Hi Ray, By all means post the build once I've completed the display - thanks. BTW I also have the Omega MB bis in my stash and may build it next (to clear out my current stock of resin models). That'll make room for the new 1:32nd scale 'Lukgraph', 'Copper State Models' and 'Roden' kits. LukGraph - Friedrichschafen FF.33L flying boat (released). Lukgraph - Albatros C.III (WIP). CSM - Caudron G.III (September). CSM - Bristol Scout (WIP). CSM - Sopwith 'Baby' (WIP). CSM - Hansa-Brandenburg D.1 'Star Strutter (WIP). Roden - SPAD XIII (released) Rodel - Avro 504K (WIP). Roden - Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter (WIP). Mike Edited May 21, 2021 by sandbagger scvrobeson and LSP_Ray 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Wait, is there going to be a C.III flying boat as well? I didn't even know that those existed! I'm definitely in the purchasing queue for the Bristol Scout and Sopwith Baby, but that Caudron scares me. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbagger Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Hi Matt, Albatros C.III - my mistake - not a float plane I think (post amended).

sandbagger Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 Hi all, I forgot the figures. I'm not much of a figure painter, but I add them to my models primarily for scale effect. ‘Wings Cockpit Figures’ - (Seated pilot LSK 07A) - butchered somewhat to fit into the cockpit. ‘Elan 13’ Miniatures German Naval pilot WW1 (EL19). ‘Elan 13’ RFC Mechanic WW1 (EL41) - removed the RFC forage cap making him bald.

News on their FB page, Still great, but a float plane would be fascinating. The C.III is definitely on the wish list when it is released.
