Been a while (about a year!) and felt a little out of practice - but lots of fun
First time I ever had negative results from Flory wash - must be incomplete clearcoat on the bottom. Went with old pastels for light weathering on top.
Lots of residue left over from the Flory wash...not sure what happened but I figured the bottom of a seaplane would be dirty anyway

You’re done already?!
Two things… first & foremost, excellent looking build! You have completed an excellent looking Rufe.
Second… great photography! ‘nuff said

Yes, it certainly was fast. And it looks great.

Not a lot of parts to this kit and really nice fit except the cowl needed some surgery.

That looks great, John! It's a very elegant seaplane and one we don't see that much. Good on ya, dude.

She looks great!
