I haven't done it yet, though I seen to remember somebody else working on one. Gary Pillsworth maybe. Dunno.


For years, I've been wanting to design some form of water-borne craft, but never quite found one that fit my qualifications: good scale to size ratio, no microscopic parts by the millions, relatively simple hull. etc.) I was perusing the local hobby shop, looking for inspiration (that's my story, and I'm sticking to it) when I came across this little beastie:


It met enough of the qualifications (plus it was on clearance), so I figured I'd give it a try.

I've done enough flying boats that a non flying boat shouldn't be too hard (a designers famous last words).

so we are gonna see the river boat from Apocalypse Now lol

by the way i was wondering if i could get a repaint on a B-25 for a museum i go to. they have an airworthy example and no one has been able to model it for some reason and it would tickel them pink if i show up with one. i just did a model railroad event in early december and the now have me on call for future events and to build models for events as well.

Ive already got a John Dell B-24D assembly ship hanging up in the gift shop and would love to hang it next to it

Shane,

When John Bowden get back, I'll connect with him. I think we could give it a try for you. Please PM me, and I'll give you my e-mail to send photos to.

Thanks,
Gary

It's supposed to be the Ultimate Mustang. Except WWII ended before it got into serious production, and they had lots of D and F models already built for Korea.
