Look real good yes.  Look to good to be 1/700.  You sure about scale ?
I am struggling with air group for 1/700 Mega-Carrier.  Again,,, these look to good.

yes it is 1/700

Pity, those Flyhawk 1/700 scale aircraft are something special, there's even an excellent YouTube build by Plasmo, the Walrus and Seafox are brilliant when the PE is used.
The small parts are why I use a Loupe magnifier so I can do them.

It's got a very Soviet flavor to it. Slap some red stars on it and few would question it.

Well done, eric!

Beautiful!!  I agree with Brian and GTX, it does have those feelings to it, perhaps a Soviet development of a Luft46 effort that never made production, or perhaps never made it to prototype status.

Now that looks dashing, in several senses of the word.  If it wasn't for all the radiator detailing required, I'd be very tempted to try that kitbash myself with period markings (either Italian or of an aircraft sold to the US - big fight between USAAC and USN over who gets it could add to fun markings).

Very nice ... especially with those swoopy Seafox floats  :smiley:

The RW planned floatplane version of Br.27 was the 1929 Br.29 project. (I'm not sure why the number change, the French of the time usually just added an 'H' for hydro to the original designation.) Do you know if the Br.29 was planned to have a cockpit canopy?

Unfortunately, the Br.29 variant is hard to research online ... 'BR 29' was also the short-form for the escadrille n° 29 (GB II/11, 11ème EB[/i]), a bomber-recce unit flying Breguet 19s out of Metz.

Jetstream, yellow : primary seaplanes
« Reply #923 on: March 25, 2020, 10:29:09 PM »

I was looking for a Jetstream for a while, because it looks good ;
and in order to whiff it without disturbing the good looks, floatplanization seems fine.







It is the old Airfix kit, with nice ambulance interior,
with floats from a Trumpeter Colt

Beautiful!!  Though, if you do another one, I think the engine inlets should be flipped over to keep them out of the spray.
