Thank you Bozzer

George Williams
Neat work not sure about that blue though.

Emanuele Matteucci
I did a good job on this paintjob too, it's not easy and you did very well! I hope for you that the final assembly of your model is better than mine was. Because i trashed the entire car when i saw the gap between the main body and the under chassis. I tried my best to made them fit togheter but it looked like the pieces came from 2 different car models...Untill now the most disappointing model i tried to complete, I wish you the best for the remaining job, the subject is fantastic!

Stéphane Jayet
@George, light makes it appear lighter than reality but I think you are right and bit too moght

Stéphane Jayet
@Emanuele, I will cross fingers now not to have the same problem as you.

Martin Oostrom
Striking colours!

Ricard Gomicia Calatayud
brutal job on the cockpit!

Stéphane Jayet
Thank you Ricard

Bozzer
Damn, you got me again!
This build is reaching EPIC status!
Excellent work, Steph 👍

Stéphane Jayet
Thank you Bozzer

George Williams
Looking good from where I'm sitting.

Nicolas
As soon as I finish one of my 3 current projects (2 of them ar nearly done) I will start with this little helicopter.

Nicolas
The build startet this weekend.

Nicolas
As I am covid positive (fortunately only with very mild syntomas) I had some time to build again today. So far I am positively surprised by the accuracy of fit. There are no locator pins, but I can now click the fuselage and cockpit together and even the tail section holds without glue.

Nicolas
I would like to do some rivets on the exteriour, but I couldn't find some good drawings. If somebody has a hint I would be grateful.

Nicolas
Today I started installing the controls. Doing so I noticed, the collectiv controls are missinh in the kit. So I started scratchbuilding them after photos. Also fabricated and installed blinds for the paxes.

Nicolas
Started some work on the exteriour.

Freak
Interesting project! Love the WIP pics and demo of various detailing techniques.

Rui S
Impressive collection. You could start a war 😄

Clifford Keesler
Nice collection.

Spanjaard
impressive indeed.

Peppy
Stewart, is not afraid of the rigging.
So very awesome.
Excellent collection.

Lochsa River
Astounding......just an amazing collection of work

Bruce Huxtable
Astonishing body of fine work - awestruck.....respect....! 🙂

Neil
Stewart... WOW! 👀 There's an awful lot of work to be highly (and rightly) admired in this album. Including for the reason Peppy said above 😉 Massive respect 👍💯

Guy Rump
Very impressive collection of beautiful aircraft, your rigging is excellent. 👍

David Taylor
Brilliant collection.

Villiers de Vos
Thank you for sharing.

Pietro De Angelis
Impressive collection, congrats
Thanks for sharing

Clifford Keesler
Very nice.Collection.

gorby
Ooooh! I'd like to follow this. I've built one in 1/72, this must be huge.

John Hughes
Well, okay, Gorby, but follow at your own risk. It is a mine clearing vehicle, after all.

gorby
😄 😄 😄
Should be safe enough. At 150 tons you're going to know which bit it's cleared. 😄

NLAWScametovisit
Oh wow. Ive never heard of this thing before! When I saw the first picture I thought at first must be an alternate history tank. Following with interest!

Christian W
I finally started this thing.

István Szücs
I'm curious for the final result!

Christian W
Me too 😉 I think I'm going on with that hood. The chances to get the right on ist nearly Zero.

Chris Parsons
Aah….been there, done that. I know your pain young Jedi!
I had the original as well at one time, re-powered with a 68 440 six pack, never going back to build another real "muscle car" but nice to have a representation of it at the least.
I converted the AMT 1971 body to a 73/74 body (it's a much cleaner mold) but used parts from Revell/ Monogram B body kits to get there in the end…musta used at least 4 other kits for parts. Scariest part was changing the rear side windows shapes from sweeping up to sweeping down. I may have pictures here somewhere…not sure but, I'm pretty sure I posted the build thread on Britmodeller if your interested

Christian W
@Chris ... That was my first thought when I read the first sentences, where you wrote that you converted the 1971 into that: the small window at the side and the c-post. I'll do a research on britmodeller to see, what you've done. On that point, it is too much work for me to go such a way. I want do have the kit done in December. I know, the details "under the body" could be better, but when it sits in the shelf, it doesn't matter somehow. For my needs, it is ok. It's only the hood, what concerns me for accuracy with the look to the movie car.

Christian W
@Chris ... I found your thread. But sadly there are no pictures anymore.

Chris Parsons
Oh crap!
Sorry

Christian W
No problem 😉

Chris Parsons
I've found and added some images of my finished model here, no longer have images of the w.i.p. No idea what happened to them, you may be able to use (or not) for your build. The images are in my "Albums"

Bill Newcomer
I shall follow too.

Cool plane. I'm in.

David Fuller
Ooh, spectators. This is new for me!
Be forewarned, I'm a very slow builder.

Gordon Sørensen
Nice work so far, David. Are you going to open any of the doors/hatches? I have the 415 kit I want to do in Alberta colours.

David Fuller
Thanks Gordon! The PE sheet I'm using comes with the forward door, so I'm going to try assembling that first and if it comes out well enough, I'll open that door on the kit. I've also been toying with the idea of opening the dump doors on the bottom of the fuselage.

Cuajete
Well done so far 👍

Chris Howard
Looking great. I didn't get a PE set for my 415 but I think I have some stuff to do the mesh screens on the sides. Sure looks a lot better on yours.

David Fuller
Thanks guys! Nice to have you aboard Chris!

Spanjaard
looking really nice so far

Robert Podkoński
Joining the party!

Rando
Nice! I dig water bombers, there should be more models of them built. Will gladly watch

David Fuller
Sorry for the lack of updates lately guys. I've been working on lots of little things and have been dealing with other stuff that kept me from posting. I just posted a bunch of stuff I've been doing over the past couple of weeks.

Cuajete
Good progress, David 👍

David Fuller
Been a while since I posted an update, but I have been working. Slowly. I seem to have also developed a case of Advanced Modeling Syndrome.

Crap.

Cuajete
Many of us suffer from this syndrome when the model advances. Don't worry. It is usually normal 😄

Good job with the top hatch, David! 👍

bughunter
The reason for the AMS is the environment here. The risk of infection is very high!
You made nice work on the yellow bird so far 👍
Since I visited the real one in a museum in Germany I'm also a fan of this type. It is possible to visit it inside. sinsheim.technik-museum.de/de/canadair-cl-215

Spanjaard
there are a few 215 to view at leisure in some museums (Paris/le bourget, Madrid/Cuatro Vientos,....), but I did not know there was you can even see the inside! I need to het to sinseheim, seems a great place!

bughunter
I can recommend it! Nearby is a second museum in Speyer, both are connected. So we visited both with a Combi ticket on a weekend, hotel can be booked too.
In Sinsheim you can go also inside of Concorde and Tu-144 😉
Sorry David fro hijacking your thread!

Pantelis Antonoglou
Exceptional guide for my model too, thanks a lot for your reference!! Keep up the amazing work mate!

Ekki
Missed this one.
And re Sinsheim: planned a visit in 3 weeks weeks time. 🙂

Michael .
Very nice. Following...
