Operation Supermarine Walrus

[Snowman]

Ooh, an interesting kite, the old Walrus.

I like your detailed progress photo's, very informative!

The Walrus progresses. 2.5 pages of instructions. A little different from the Merlin they seemed like a book.

Nice progress report Laurie, enjoying watching this come together. Nicely painted crew members too, I hope James Fred and Charles enjoy their new home.

All looking very good Laurie. I like your methodical way of working, I could learn a thing or two following that method.

No Joe. Not unless you part with some of your New Zealand dough.

Did not explain myself very well. This sometimes, no always, annoys Pauline my wife.

I thought next time for instance I mask and paint a cockpit cover I will film and edit and load onto this site. My occupation after retirement was producing wedding and corporate films for which I received a pittance.

But for you Joe it will be free. Probably boring but free. ops:

Hope so Ian. Not really liked masking. But this time I ,yes, enjoyed it.

I would have used Blue Lining Tape but the roll I have is not wide enough to span between the frames. Pity as I think from use so far that the Blue Lining tape is better than Tamiya.

Started masking the u/s of the wings and the Blue Lining tape is a joy to work with . It is so much more flexible than Tamiya Type tape.
