What the heck, do them all, one by one though.

Seamaster and Beriev Be-10?

Aaron already did the Seamaster:
1/70 P6M-1 Seamaster USN Paper Model

Also a "What If" USCG version: 1/70 Martin P6M Seamaster USCG Paper Model

I have the Navy version. Most excellent kit.

In the late fifties the German publisher JF-Schreiber had a model of the Seamster; a really great kit. Sadly it is out of print and will probably never be published again.

Hey Les, you wouldn't happen to have pictures of the NASA F-4 Phantoms would you?

I was perusing through Facebook, and came across this:



Saro Princess if it had been converted to a firebomber. What kind of interest would anybody have?

Also, I had a similar thought about the Spruce Goose, or maybe the Spruce Goose in USCG Colors.

Sadly, not much.

Would love to have this one, of course. I'll look around more over the weekend.

Wow, what a veritable smorgasbord of delight in that last pic Les.. What I wouldn't have given to be able to walk around in that hanger..

Nice model. I wonder how long ago it was offered. I bet an unbuilt copy would be worth its weight in gold now.

I got in a designing funk, where I couldn't get anything started, and had to kick myself out of it, so I threw this together for a quickie.



A brief history: About 8 or 9 thousand years ago, give or take a decade or two, I designed the Focke-Achelis FA-61 for Fiddlersgreen. Since it was converted from a Focke-Wulf FW-44, I always wanted to design one. Only took a decade to get around to it.

I'm planning on 3 versions:

This one is at Pima (it's hanging from the ceiling, so I can't go molest it for details)

Don't think this one needs explanation



This one is at the museum Shane Webb is offering the repaint of my B-25 through...
