Final Glory

And the Supermarine S6B is completed - when I get the time, I will get the stand done and then get some really nice photos of it. And to those who said I couldn't do it and had bitten off more than I could chew - this is how I roll!

Soooooo close!

Assembly completed, painting and detailing done.... all that is left is the wire and the varnish coat!
Oh and I have been asked by the University if they can put it on display when it is finished. Then at some point a base....

Final touch

Well, one evening of coreldraw tracing off photos of the actual plane, a brief flurry on the laser-cutter and some masks were done for the markings....
All that remains are little touch-ups on the paint, final fixing of the floats and prop - mucho piano wire to be added..... oh and then a dynamic base.
I have to say how much I love the way it has come together.
