this is a fantastic kit, very delicate and detailed. the clean up of all the seams is done and the parts are ready to paint. Not a big fan of red plastic but I will do my best.

Was this the Coast Guard version? I did the US Army boxing and it was a much more sensible olive green colour. Of course that box didn't have the floats in it.

Superb! Must have been a nightmare to paint that thing. It's like a wicker basket.

it was more like a puzzle but if you follow the build instructions it works out ok, it would have been better if it were grey plastic but I love the kit otherwise.

Doug,

Super work - a feast for the eyes! The cockpit and straps are very convincing. A wonderful model to behold.
