Drilling holes for rigging
Supermarine S6B, S1595. I like this photo because it does not use the number on the side, and I’m having major trouble with the decals not adhering. This view shows I also missed some of the rigging so I will be adding that. Also I think the rear of the propeller on S1595 is black.

Robert PodkońskiJurassic Park revisited. You are a brave man to deal with this prehistoric monster 😉 Watching with interest and keeping fingers crossed...

Ben MYeah tooling from 1948. I like hawk kits though. This one mostly fits together. The blob of a pilot and lack of interior are an issue. Not sure what I will do about that.

Ben MI decided not to scratch an interior. I was complaining to Marc the pilot looked like a teletubby and he suggested I embrace that. So my supermarine will be piloted by Po.

Ben MYes, that is the plan. The aircraft is going well, I've been smoothing the floats.

Ben MIt's not painted yet, let's just wait a bit before we say it looks good... and it has a teletubby for a pilot.

Ben MWhen I bought this there was a 1:144 kit as well that I don't know why I didn't buy
