This one and the Hasegawa Kawanashi flying boats are some that I never had a chance to build back in the day. I’m looking forward to following along here!

Well there are lots of subject choices available in that area… :hmm:
Yep! Spitfires, Beaufighters, B-17s all sorts of types were operated by CC

He's got some in-progress pics that might be helpful and as always, his painting and weathering are top-notch.
Wow! that's cool build! Thanks John!

Thanks Gary, I am but I rarely post on BM as I really don't like the feel of the forum - It's not a place a really fit in.

How on earth will you be able to build it on your, sort of portable bench ?? :hmm:

lol! It is rather large, but should just about fit.

Oh I totally agree, I'd also love to build the modern Japanese flying boats and the ones the USN used in Vietnam.

Hey Lyle - can you move this to :quotes: Future :quotes: builds for me I've just cut up the fuselage to fit the mk.I parts only to find it doesn't fit - the profile is wrong... :hmm: It's going to take me a while to figure is out.

Moved.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
