Are those the new Trumpeter 1/200 kits? Were they molded in clear? They look good in primary colors.

yes indeed, they are in clear plastic, not as small as 1/700 or even 1/350, so it is a nice intermediate

more 1/200 cuties





all in clear plastic, but the cockpit is a metal etched frame :
so cusiously no part of the clear plastic is modelling glass.

Wow I'd never know there weren't any clear parts if you hadn't told me.

Very cheerful eric. Most enjoyable indeed.

Double that!  Looking gorgeous in those primary-colour schemes  :smiley:  And the canopy frames of those Ar 196s were painted  :o

cheating a bit on the title, but not quite : the SB-17 does feature a boat, and is flying :
I feel it could have been a what-if  ;)







and there are other airborne rescue boats around : a nice source a true-er what-iffs, maybe ...

I like this one a lot, eric! It's gotta be in my top ten of yours!

The primary colors you selected for the different components are spot on!

This somewhat floaty Flying Fortress would turn heads at any show worthy of the name.

Well done!
