Old decals or not and maybe an ocean of Micro Sol...the result looks great. :)

Great!
I will follow this one as mine is also on going.
Unfortunately due to home relocation I could not post any pics nor study the datafile
Great idea with the struts switch. Too late for my built..either way I will stay tuned with your thread.
regards
K

Nice!  I think one day I will also build a W4, so I will be watching this one.  Is this an early version or late version? (the early version has the radiators on the sides of the fuselage).

Thank you Andreas, Juan, Robin, K, Rick and Ken. I hope I will not disappoint you with this project!

Rick, you managed it again to miss not an update of a build report, even a new project :D

Is this an early version or late version? (the early version has the radiators on the sides of the fuselage).
I decided for the 964, so it is middle one. The earlier are 747 with different floats, and late 14xx 15xx.
The kit allows 954, 964 and a earlier 786.
The same kit was also once released by Gavia with different decals allowing 958, 1512 and 1486, but I don't own that one.

I was able to do the wings this weekend, I will post a update soon.

Cheers,
Frank

Good to see a floatplane being built for a change. Those floats have taken some work but the results are first class - as usual with your models Frank. I will be following tis with interest as I do have a soft spot for floaty things - they have an appeal of their own.

   Great choice Frank. This aircraft has always appealed to me and I'd like to do a conversion in 1:32 Scale some day so I'll follow this Build with great interest. It's already showing the exceptional quality you bring to all of your Builds, the decal work is excellent!
Cheers,
Lance

Superb painting and decal work, Frank, and your treatment of the ailerons is outstanding!
