Kingfisher on wheels, Vought OS2U, yet another mini- groupbuild !
Testfitting the gunner‘s tub
Some more work required here
Internal rib structure added
Something like this
Ready for interior green..
Cockpits almost finished
Continuing to work on the cockpits, fit isn’t that good, styrene filling is needed. The molded on hoistsling was lost in the fitting and sanding process, so I had to replace it.
Fit on the gunner‘s tub needs some care too
Cutting Edge resin cowling is everything but cutting edge, it looks as if it was made of an old bubblegum, un- useable !
Monogram Kit Cowlflapring reinforced with copper wire
Maybe I can depict the cowlflaps open by carefully sawing them one by one and bending them outward……?
Engine ready for some more paint
The leading edge of the flaps had these „air-channels“ tucked under the trailinig edge of the wing.
So I tried to replicate that like this
This is where it will have to go, so the trailing edges have to be thinned quite a bit,
let the milling begin !
let the milling begin !
Hinges ready
Engine done

I saw a kingfisher in Havana that was on wheels. I did a double take, I knew I recognized the plane but I couldn't figure out what it was til later!

@Ben : In Havanna ! I bet it has an interesting story to tell, how it got there....... Yes, hard to believe it's the same plane, without that giant float hangin' from it.

Ha, da war jemand fleißig! Rückwand im Cockpit sieht gut aus: wie aus seinem Guss und nicht wie eingeklebt. Hat sich gelohnt Zeit zu investieren. 🙂
