Breguet 693 (à la Levasseur PL 201), blue : primary seaplanes

recently Tophe reminded me of the Dornier racer project :



which reminded me also of the Levasseur PL 201 :



and I had a Breguet 693 in my stash, as well as floats from an An-2 Colt  (and an additional engine from a Ju-52) :

Been traveling getting set up for Fall-Winter model building.  Not seeing all posts.
These have great character.  I-16 looks correct RW.  693 based build has cool uniqueness.  Like to copy concept if ever had time to.  :smiley:

Do-X (& B-17F), blue : primary seaplanes
« Reply #735 on: November 25, 2018, 08:27:07 PM »

So, Ihad this incomplete vacform kit pof a 1/72 Do-X : I got it very cheap because the wings are missing.

So I searched for appropriate alternative wings, and the 1/48 B-17F (Revell) has the very same wingspan,

so here we go 'but still, vacform os not easy, quite a bit beyond my skills)

That's a most excellent kitbash eric and once again, you've chosen the perfect primary color for it.

Very well done, very well done indeed!

Most excellent kitbash and quite the looker in that color.  My only quibble is that the inboard prop arcs look disturbingly close to the cockpit.  Even if they don't hit structure, the noise level for the pilots has got to be intense.

When I first saw the subject line I though perhaps you meant “Shrek” as the ogre from the movie! I though to myself “Now what has he done?” While I was mistaken your triplanes looks great and very believable!
