Well, a bit more progress today.
I have fabricated two outrigger floats which have had a sealer sander coat, followed by a sealer/talc mix. These then need sanding smooth and the float attachment point made.
I envisaged the outer floats would be semi retractable, so using some aerofoil strut made the housings on each wing, and the floats will be attached by a finer aerofoil strut, which is meant to have been inserted into the housing in flight.
Also I thought extending the fuel tanks supplied with plasticard and attaching to the wingtips would add a different look to the project.
They have been filled, and a quick coat of paint to highlight any blemishes.
Thanks for looking.

Well, almost finished.
The airframe is complete, but it still awaits its passengers. These are painted and ready to place on a base. Also made a ladder to aid entry into the open door.

Confession time!!! I'd put the wrong halves of the nacelles together not realising that they were handed, doh!!! So I carefully spilt and rebuilt them before fitting to the wings. There were slight gaps to contend with but nothing PPP couldn't resolve. The transparencies were then attached using Glue and Glaze. As photos show no machine guns visible when the aircraft are on the ground I decided not to drill the transparencies and attach them. Masks were then applied before a coat of primer followed by Tamiya Nato Black for the Night finish underneath.

Very small, they have about 8 members and were a bit disorganised.
They are hoping to do it in a bigger venue in the future.
Entry was £5!!

No traders, just sort of club sales, apparently their trader let them down at the last minute.
