Interesting. I've only seen the pictures of the kit, so I assumed the styrene was the same. I'm going to keep a lookout for this one.

whif just by the livery, but its shape with jet engines above the fuselage is remarkable enough ...

Which kit?

elmayerle · « **Reply #528 on:** October 06, 2017, 08:29:47 AM »

beautiful!! Which kit did you use and what scale is it in?

You need to do two more in the other primary colors, the yellow one as a SAR aircraft and the red one as a fire bomber.

I prefer like that, without nationalism...

ericr · « **Reply #532 on:** October 06, 2017, 03:50:26 PM »

thanks !

other colors may fit well indeed

please have a try :
it is the Amodel 1/144 kit

Nice!

The single colour helps pull the shape together, making it look even sleeker than it already is.l

Idea: a plane like the Beriev, but built from BAe 146 bits.

Lrrr · « **Reply #534 on:** October 07, 2017, 08:54:26 AM »

Well done. Always liked this aircraft.

ericr · « **Reply #535 on:** October 07, 2017, 03:24:39 PM »

thanks !

I like to paint monochrome, because precisely it makes the shape even more appreciable

and kitbashing BAe 146 certainly is a good idea

That's really sweet, love the blue!

My guess is an Amodel kit? It looks so very lovely in plain blue!

ericr · « **Reply #538 on:** October 11, 2017, 01:40:23 PM »

thanks !

yes, AModel 1/144

Madhatter · « **Reply #539 on:** October 11, 2017, 05:09:04 PM »

that's a really nice gloss finish you have there. I know a few people who would love to be able to obtain a finish like that

ericr · « **Reply #540 on:** October 11, 2017, 07:04:40 PM »

it's just Humbrol enamel blue 14, from the tin

ericr · « **Reply #541 on:** October 13, 2017, 02:11:07 PM »

I saw some pictures of an Anson floatplane in South Africa, so was lead to have a try at it :

the kit is from Special Hobby (a bit too high quality for my skills) and the floats from a Twin Otter

FAAMAN · « **Reply #542 on:** October 13, 2017, 03:22:20 PM »

That's different

ericr · « **Reply #543 on:** October 13, 2017, 06:17:33 PM »

thanks !

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #544 on:** October 14, 2017, 03:57:30 AM »

Great idea - I can see this sitting in a river in Sth America or perhaps around an Island in Asia

apophenia · « **Reply #545 on:** October 14, 2017, 05:45:34 AM »

Great job Eric! And those Twotter floats look much better than the original! There's another 1/72nd take on that SAAF conversion on Britmodeller using Frog Seafox floats (although the modeller acknowledged that 35 Squadron's Anson had Blackburn Shark floats.

I've seen mention of Směr, Ark, Eastern Express, and Chematic Sharks on floats. Does anyone know if these are based on the Frog/Novo kit?

ericr · « **Reply #546 on:** October 14, 2017, 05:41:18 PM »

thanks again !

I think these Shark kits are all the same indeed, I have had one sometime ago

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #547 on:** October 17, 2017, 06:09:17 AM »

I really like the look of your floaty red Anson, eric!

You did a fine job on all that canopy framing too! Takes a steady hand, no mean feat that!

Brian da Basher

ericr · « **Reply #548 on:** October 17, 2017, 03:04:41 PM »

thanks !

the canopy was painted manually indeed ...

ericr · « **Reply #549 on:** October 21, 2017, 04:08:59 AM »

I was reminded of this old build, modestly trying to upgrade a Superfreighter to a flying boat
