Centurion3RTR's "Ditched"

[Centurion3RTR]

Hi all, after a good long think about this build (and not forgetting the three models i brought :fool i've decided to pull something from my stash. I can't justify cutting into one of the new models as it's just a nice little kit (1937 Opel Olympia), and the other idea i had would't go with the rules (Gaz 67B on it's side in a river). But keeping with the water theme, i'm going to build the 1/72 scale Airfix Curtiss SB2C Helldiver thats just had to dich after an engine failure. I'll get some pic up of the kit when the camara is charged, thought i'd start the thread to give you the low down. Have fun, John

Had to look up what a Curtiss was i'll admit (more into helicopters than fixed wing)

Like the idea, should prove to be a interesting dio John.

Here we go, some pic's of the box and what we get inside. Doesn't look like a bad kit but it's old (like me). I'll just get the Sherman finished that i've got on the go then i'll dive in on this (see what i did there!)

Hopefully it'll look something like this, but without the ship. And the crew will be in the sea.

I think you should just ' plunge ' right in on this one John, rather than just dip your toe into the water! Aah you're a great audience, I'm here all week!

Seriously, this idea sounds great & it'll be interesting seeing it take shape. On the pic of the stricken plane, does anyone else think that the guy on the wing is standing quite casually? Considering he's just pancaked into the sea & the plane could sink at any moment!

Cheers

To be honest Patrick i think he's getting his baloney sandwich out of the cockpit. 'Coat is on walkin' out the door'

Have fun, John

Very good news to know that John takes part in this SIG.

I like very much his idea and 'puzzle' me very much to know what will do for the sea, a diorama with a lot of future, I'm sure!

Oh I like the look of that.

Good to have you on board, or in this case over board. TAXI!

So if it's ok with you i'll keep to the same theme, but this time it'll be a Spit in the channel.
