I live in San Diego and often go to the Aerospace Museum in Balboa Park. They have the actual Sea Dart you started this thread with. It is mounted on a pedistal in front along with a Sr71 Blackbird. It was an amazing plane but never went into service. It was built when there was this huge emphasis on sea planes to keep up with the Russians who were building some very strange seaplanes of their own. You have done a wonderful job on your project. I hope someday someone designs the P5 Marlin. I was in Vp31 When they phased them out. I saw the final plane fly off to Washington for display in the Smithsonian. Now it is in storage in their big storage facility. Keep up the good work.

Great job on the Goose, that is a nicely designed kit and it is fun to build. Fiddler's Greene did a great job it, and the textures are really good.

Looks great!

I appreciate all the step-by-step images, Pericles!

I take it that this is the Glenn Volyn-designed Fiddlers Green G-21 Goose in U.S. Army (OA-9) colors? Do you know the scale of the original model? I cannot find the scale on any of the three sheets that comprise the "regular" sized model.
