The Thulin G has finally been finished, four years in the making...
Conversion of Wingnut Wings Albatros B.II to the Swedish license build Thulin G reconnaissance floatplane.









Cheers: Kent

Awesome result Kent, this is really a beauty!

The detailing and weathering are great as is the colour scheme you've chosen.

A very impressive build! It was really fun/awe inspiring to see it in the flesh the past weekend! It's difficult to understand the amount of work you've put into this conversion before one stands in front of it and read the description.

It was nice to meet you as well. I hope the trip home went well and that all models survived it.

Cheers Fredrik

Wow. Now that is a masterpiece of a conversion - with some much detail to add and change. The finish is first class - a model I wold much like to see for real.

This is an incredible job Kent.
I can see why it took 4 years, just so much work has been put in. A joy to see.

Thank you all, really appreciate the kind words  :D

"I'm sure I never will do this again" - Now haven't I heard that phrase once or twice...
The Build was complicated and involved major surgery. And in the end, not a part wasn't altered, converted or scratched.

But it was all worth it, when I finally was able to take it to the Swedish C4-Open show 2022 (4 years Covid, Surgery),
The model of the Swedish Thulin G was really appreciated by my fellow Swedish modellers.
(The model was awarded, 'Best model of a Swedish plane')

Thanks again! Kent

Think it would have taken Best Model full stop, at most shows.
Marvellous model
