Miles Sea Master Floatplane scout/fighter. of the Argentine Navy, 1945-1956. Argentina bought Miles Master Mk.IIIs from the UK and Saab floats rom Sweden. They locally modified them into the Sea Master. They were re-engined with Pratt & Whitney R-4100 Yellowjacket motors. They were used for coastal patrol and anti-smuggling operations.
I like Glossy Sea Blue, so I went with it. Airfix's Walrus had an Argentine Navy machine with a Yellow top wing. Aluminum floats don't take paint too well. Bob's your uncle.
I thought it would be South American/banana republic stuff. I had a choice of Peru, Argentina, Columbia, Equador, and Venezuela in the decals available from my scrap-box. I chose Argentina, as I found the "Armada" markings leftover from a Super Etendard.
I painted the rudder strips and found the "Happy Face" Sun on a leftover Fujimi A-4P sheet. I brush-painted it with Humbrol Glossy Sea Blue, Citadel Yriel Yellow, and Testors Aluminum.
The white anchors and plane number same from the Super Etendard sheet and the black anchors came from the Airfix Walrus.
I am very happy with the results. This is one of my best "Whiffers" to date.
Adios, Larry.
