I will be building the Saunders Roe A.19 Cloud( S&R# A.19/5) as seen in 1933.
The Cloud will have the markings of G-ACGO which was powered by two Armstrong Siddeley Serval III.

Hi and thank you for the welcome!
Here are the kit contents:-










This model has a mix of injection molded and resin parts.
Next step is a wash and dry.

Very nice. I love the choice of subject matter.

Is that the lav in the back there?

Yes its a lav!
Rolling 1/72 scale toilet paper is a pain in the ---!
Had some trouble with the wing to hull fit so have taken a step backwards and removed top of hull!

A very unusual kit. Always interested in models finished with a NMF. Will be following your build as I've subscribed to your thread.

Here is a update on my build.
Moving slowly due to the resin hull to plastic parts fit issues.

Still some more filler required.

Back home for just two days before heading out again for a week of training, had a few hours to work on the hull and motors.
Rocker arms will not allow cowl to fit over so off they come!
This kit is a work out at every stage!

Richard, At least you're making slow but steady progress. Sure seems like a real bear of a kit.
