Been after one in 1/48 for ages. Maybe one day soon... So I will have to watch you build your one instead.

That 1/32 scale one that Derek posted the box art for is incredible. Alas, so is the price.

There are a couple of 1/48s about Ian.

Smer, never heard of them, Ebay 11.99

CLassic Air Frames about £40.

Near interested but takes a long time and as I have the Airfix Hennrick Group lined up I thought I would do a quick 1/72 as a change.

Lot of difference between the 2 above cannot imagine that the Smer is high quality. There is one which is resin but not sure if it is one of these.

The Queen Elizabeth class of battleships also carried a Walrus, as did the Hood until its1939 refit

LOL The Smer kit is a dog. I'm after a Classic Airframe one. No real rush, plenty of other kits in the stash.

It was just a nickname given to the Walrus, also known as a Steam-Pigeon for the steam produced from water hitting the engine.
