Thanks Mike!

Mike-nice article,nice fish!

Great article, first pictures I have seen of the resin bits painted and installed. Gorgeous airplane. One question: I have read several comments that the difference between the new floats and the kit floats is minimal, I have not seen the actual replacements, and may not be cost effective. The new interior and the new cowling definitely are required items.

That's what I call a nice article !
There is so much to read... impressive ! And the plane looks so nice !

Great looking model Mike. You did a superb job with the old Monogram kit. I for one couldn't devote that much attention to such an old kit without loosing my nerves.

I love your articles, they are very comprehensive and full of important information. Keep up the good job!

Mike,

One word......SWEEEETTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Wow thats a cool model and site!!

Thanks for the kind words guys. I have to say there is a difference in the floats-how much exactly I can't say But I think they're worth buying. I removed and threw out the Monogram floats much as Cortez burned his ships! I had no choice then but to buy the replacements ...Mike T

Hi Group,

This is an old article but it is still a good article!

Hi Fred

Great call bringing this back to the top! Good grief, the article even pre-dates me joining the original Armorama!

I'll move the thread over to WW2 where it'll be easier to find.

All the best

Old article for sure, 2002 era to be exact. Willing to bet that more then half of the membership wasn't around back then. Just an outstanding upgrade to a old, old Monogram kit. 1st rate work, and flawless painting and decaling. My only other thought would be if Mike would have decided on a Alcad 11 NMF with various panels darkened/lightened?
