chrish Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thanks, it is a quite quick build. I was working on the floats which are a quite nicely designed assembly but my spreader bars were bent, I straightened them with hot water and pressure but over time they re-assumed the bend, not as badly but I wasn't confident they would stay straight once finished so, I took a chance and made my own spreader bars from spring steel (surplus windshield wiper spring stiffeners) I also added my own registration (spurious) and added the kit decals (some of the kit decals) The spreader bars being replaced with spring steel: adding some graphics just for aesthetics decals on and floats glued on; wire visible here will be for rigging sharp eyed folks may notice I've deleted the amphib gear. I plan to (hopefully), some day, build a watery looking base for it to "float" on Thanks for looking Martinnfb, LSP_Kevin, KiwiZac and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
