Well this is a conversion to a Royal Navy HC4 Seaking. Not usre but think there must be some floation stuff in the sponsons.

The conversion set was obtained from David Parkin's Flightpath. This contained metal castings, resin sponsons (your floats)
& about 4 frets of PE. The PE is double thickness of Eduard & you build parts not just stick them on. Very intricate & enjoyable.
A lot lot of folding. The staircase is made up of about 14 parts of PE

Thanks to you all

Laurie

OK Laurie thanks for info but im gonna see if I can get away with buildin them without them floats on as it makes a seaking look better but just my opinon

Tremendous result Laurie, and one to be proud of. The Diorama is spot on too and there is much activity generated in it creating a very realistic scene. Everything seems to flow, giving one the impression of being there. Well done Sir. Rick H.
