I've built one of
Matchbox's Shagbat kits 20 Years ago, as a teenager, and after Revell reissued
the kit, I bought two more.
But this time,
I've planned to detail this little plane. After all, I've ended with 2279
parts, all but 37 from kit are scratched. The only part used from the kit that
didn't receive some kind of improvement or surgery is inner propeller blades
:-)
Only aftermarket
used is CMK's Bristol pegasus engine, but that too was superdetailed .
I built a complete
interior, including map, triangular and ruler on navigator's desk, signal cartridges
and signal pistol below pilot's seat and so on...the list of items in the hull is endless.
Each wing rib
consists from 19 parts.

Note - the wire
antennas didn't build, I made them once the model firmly sat on his
wooden base.
Decals are used from Revel, FAA
temperate sea scheme was painted using Model Master colors.
I didn't want to over weather it
so all model received just subtle kind of weathering.
