1/72 Republic Seabee .................................. (Completed 11 Jun 2014)

I think the effect is well worth the poetic license. I fell down a flight of stairs and broke my foot a while ago so haven't been able to work on hobby stuff. So I am enjoying watching your builds even more than usual.

Hubble over to your Hampden and provide us with a photo. The exercise will help you heal faster. Hope you get well soon.

The poor Hampden is camouflaged in dust at the moment.

Skis are carved and fitted to the wheels. The wing and tail assembly are glued in place.

The fuselage bottom extensions have been glued sanded and first coat of paint has been applied to the hull. The wing struts need a bit of work and I have a surplus set of wing floats as CF-EVE does not use them when the skis are fitted. The skis still need a bit of work since having found a close up photo on line.

Roll out occurred at 1800 hrs local. It now sits with its companion the Piaggio Royal Gull of the same scale.

With the 1/144 scale collection moved, more space is available for grouping the 1/72 scale models.
