Place Holder for The Big Gimper
« on: February 02, 2017, 06:08:15 AM »
I have set aside 3 kits for this GB:

1/72 Matchbox Lysander
1/72 Matchbox Walrus
1/72 Xotic SC-1 Seahawk
Work in progress ::

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

Here is where I am at the Walrus build.  New mono-wing design. Engine will be a tractor design like the Sea Otter.

In that view, it has a somewhat Eraknoplan look to it similar to this:

All hail the God of Frustration!!!

But you can make the Bastard work for it.

Here is a Matchbox Lysander and floats from a Matchbox Seafox. Both a rescue kits so parts are missing. Will need to fabricate new ones.

Close match for weight Carl, but some Blackburn Shark floats would be better

Here is the SC-1 Seahawk.  A nice low part count built. It will be built mostly stock. I may change a few bits.
