I'm glad to see the new re-colored Kingfisher! It has been fun watching the whole process of speculation, discussion, experimentation, and then finally see the new airplane appear.

One down... Two to go

Thanks Barry and Don. It's good to finally see the fruits of all that "mouse" labor.

Finished the first OS2U last night. I've placed it in a shot side-by-side with the original. I'm pleased with how the re-color came out.
Now I've got to build two more of these gems. That should keep me busy for a while.

Thanks Carl. I'm mid-way into the second OS2U at the moment. I'm going to hold off on any more photos until I'm finished with all three.

I'll certainly get my "fix" for plane modeling this week.

Your Arizona is a beautiful and impressive model. I'm very glad to see several US Navy battleships under construction here.

Twins

OK, so I lied. I am going to post pictures before I finish all three birds. I couldn't resist. The pair looked so good sitting atop the #3 turret. I'm going to only have one on top of the turret when I mount them and a pair on the fan tail catapult. I just put them up there for temporary observation.

My modeling pace has slowed down of late, but with cold weather beginning to set in, my pace should pick back up again soon. On to bird #3...

I'm glad you took some more photos. The planes look really good on the catapult.

Birds Finished and Mounted

Thanks Redhorse and Barry!

The three OS2Us are completed and mounted to their respective catapults. I'm glad this portion of the build is over. I enjoyed building the planes, but it took so long that I've lost momentum on the ship itself.

Time to get back into handrails, hatches etc. I'm working my way towards the bow where I will take on the anchor sets, windlass and jackstaff.
