A great result from an old kit well done mate and you can rip the lid off you 1/24 kit tomorrow

I love it. The shading really livens up the silver scheme, and the rigging is fantastic. Well done - enjoy your 1/24 build!

Excellent build Colin, the rigging alone would see me off!Mutt Summers? Ah yes, I was in his wife Anne's shop just before Christmas!!!!!!!!!

Good heavens Ron, is that loyalty card still going. It must be gold rated by now.

What everyone else has said Colin! A great result & the silver looks excellent.Wasn't Mutt Summers something to do with the Schneider Trophy?

I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Fantastic Colin you've done a great job on an old war horse and my favourite float plane top job

Thanks Alan, but if it's your favourite - you have to have a go.

Great looking Walrus Colin.The rigging looks spot on.As for Mutt Summers,I watched 'The Dambusters' yesterday (again!).He was flying the Wellington that Barnes Wallis conducted his bouncing bomb experiments with.

Nice one Dave, I didn't know that either.

I love it. The shading really livens up the silver scheme, and the rigging is fantastic. Well done - enjoy your 1/24 build!

Thanks Doug. Mono schemes can be a bit iffy so a bit of post shading was called for.

And thanks to everyone else for taking time to have a look. And the next build for the 1:24 GB, will have no rigging and only be a mono plane.

Now then, Mutt summers, after a test flight in a new fighter, he was heard to say 'Don't touch a thing' he liked this new fighter a lot. Lots of people also liked this new fighter - the Spitfire.

Thanks again,

Colin M.........

Lovely build Colin, brings back memories of the Matchbox Walrus I built back in the late 70s. Great job.

After removing the rigging from my 1/72 DH 82 (for the 2nd time) I am more and more impressed with your rigging on that model!!

Lovely build Colin, brings back memories of the Matchbox Walrus I built back in the late 70s. Great job.

Thanks Mike. I'm always on the look out for old Matchbox kits as each one seems to be a trip down memory lane. Although I never built this all those years ago !
