Here is my Suparmarine Walrus in ...heh heh...1:600 scale!...had a few fits with the struts and rigging
as you can see I have yet to paint her ..I will most likely be adding roundels by hand.
I thought you guys could use a good chuckle ..

Thanks guys ...I will be painting it today ...I just got home from the hospital,where my lovely wife is undergoing surgury(at this moment )....need to keep busy here...I will put on my customary black primercoat,then a silver finish...will TRY to put an ID number under the cockpit using a letter from a decalsheet(weel see how it goes)...the silver finish will correspond to the 1939 timeframe under which I am modelling the HMS Belfast where this little thing is going to sit(yes,I know ...the DARK side....)

All the best to your wife,
I'm in London this weekend if you want some snaps of HMS Belfast I'll endeavor to
do that. If there is any particular shot you want let me know.
