A very crisp job indeed Dave.

Gentlemen,

What model did you use? Are these the Shapeways models?

Either way, they both look great! I am thinking of putting one on my Christmas list.

Mine is the Skytrex one, and I'm 99% certain Kytey's is as well :)

Yes Dave spot on. You have only got to look at the ribs on the wings to see that yours is.
I cheated and remade the wings.

Again something out of the ordinary.

Beautiful sea bird! I expect taking off from the surface was a delicate affair with the torpedo stuck between the main floats?

[johnbiggles]

Cracking job there Steve
Very nice paint work indeed

The torpedo should be set back more than it is, but the peg got in the way.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Now why wasn't that flying at SALUTE? It would have made sinking the U Boat a tad easier.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

If I'd known you were short I could have brought mine. The way we were going down I don't think it would have helped much though.:hmm:

Better a torpedo than a 'baby' (of the Sopwith variety I might add...see SALUTE pics for reason why).

Nice models, everyone. :thumbsup:

We weren't short, just didn't have room to bring it on the table with all those burning Babies going down all over the shop :lol:

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

A baby in the hand is better than two going down in flames.

A baby in the hand is better than two going down in flames.

But not better than a Zeppelin!:D

My 184, ready to help Flying Officer Kyte and the lads give Johnny Turk a right thrashing.

Shapeways (by Kampfflieger), with a jbmacek torpedo and Reviresco and Reduced Aircraft Factory crew. Decals by Dom and 1/144 Direct as well as homemade. I do realize that a torpedo-laden 184 probably couldn't embark a gunner if it wanted to do anything more than taxi, but that's an awfully big cockpit to leave half empty. All in all, a very fun model to detail and paint.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Very beautifully executed Darryl.
Gunner or Torp can be solved by the use of a magnet or two, if you want to be totally authentic.
For myself, I like the look of it as it is.
Rob.
