I've been procrastinating with this Valom Seagull V kit for a while, however bit the bullet & built it as a Walrus... NZ151 'A' of the RNZAF Seaplane Training flight (which probably wouldn't have been armed...oh well!)
Its a good model although a bit of 'fettling' is required & the rigging is a test of patience!! Good internal detail though with resin and photo-etch, a definite improvement on the old Matchbox/Revell kits. I substituted a good old DH Beaver tailwheel as the RNZAF aircraft had the pneumatic type rather than a solid rubber casteror
