Malady, Melody, neither but a very basic vac-form.The model is completely devoid of any surface detail including control surface demarkation. Also absent are propellers, engines and undercarriage.The vac-form has been done using male patterns which result in crisp sharp edges inside the shells but not where they are required - on the outside! The wing floats do not even have the step. The front of the cowlings was also seen as a potential problem and were replaced with resin items. However, despite the deficiencies, the kit goes together well and is proving to be a most enjoyable build.

I'll be watching this Fred. Have you picked a scheme for it yet?

Gee , your a better man than me Fred . Great work so far , nothing wrong with a flying boat !!!

I bow very low in great RESPECT for anyone who can build vac-form so well! Looking forward to seeing further progress on this build.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments Paul, David and Adam. The colour scheme will be TAA as in Paul's photo that started this project off.
