"1/144 Kingfishers " Topic

Hi all,
I have attached 3 OS2U Kingfishers from resin made and painted by me at petersplanes.com
There is a little more dertail to be added such as aerial on front left of cockpit and an extra float strut (I forgot it depite having the references in front of me!).
I have tried the technique that Kevin (Miscmini) showed me on two of them.
Please feel free to critique.

If you insist on making difficult aeroplanes in 1/144, I would not mind at all if you made the Fokker CX, so my Finns might smite the Commie Scum™.

Nor would I mind if you took a break from the difficult and obscure and made American P39s and P400s.

I would not mind at all!

Great assembly and paint job, BTW.

"difficult and obscure"

Ozmods does a very nice P-39 now but are A$22 each. So unless I do a basic one at some point it may be the only option.

Thanks

Peter

I like them. BTW I got to sit inside a OS2U at the USS

I like them. BTW I got to sit inside a OS2U at the USS North Carolina and speak to some of the backseaters, ie
radiomen/gunners…it's a scarry launch from a battleship.
And landings are worse…

Thanks Peter. I'm truly having a difficulty trying to find the time to build what I have now. All I need is for folks to continue to post good ideas that drive me to buying more minis that increase my backlog and workload. :)

Those Kingfishers look like they would make nice companions for the unbuilt Grumman Duck that's waiting behind one of your German floatplanes, that's next to some half-finished Polikarpovs and Rolands, that are mixed in with the primed Gladiators, that might be next in line to be completed after I finish the six projects I'm actively working on now.

Very very nice. Peter, can you tell me what (brown) paint you used on pic 1 ?

BelgianRay,
If by Brown paint you mean what the Dutch plane is painted in? then it is Tamiya XF-20 (medium Grey).
