Very nice 570......as to size, it is after all, a "flying boat"!

Lovely jubbly Ron!

Wow! Thanks ever so much for all the most excellent comments, boys. :thumb2:

Allen. It would mean a lot of butchery to show it 'flying' or on water or even taking off from same. I don't know if I want to alter the model to such an extent. There again.......

Steve. Us brush 'ands must stick together for a simpler, less complicated, cheaper, more reliable, straight forward, old fashioned way of painting models. Gorrit? Who says we are a dying breed.......:tongue-out3:

Thanks again chaps.

Ron

It'd be nice to know you got a display shelf for that - even if only to show off the excellent paint scheme!

[spanner570]

Dave, without your help I probably wouldn't have attempted this paint scheme, so thank you. :thumb2:

As for a display shelf, I don't have one, as once photographed, everything gets boxed and up in the loft they go......Waiting for my sons to sling out when I snuff it!
