Hi everyone, this one is finally done. As predicted, I had to repaint about half of the canopy frame lines. I did it freehand with a fine brush, and it worked out well enough.
Here's a few shots - I'm not 100% happy with the result, but it's growing on me as the time from completion increases. (Has anyone else noticed that you become more tolerent of mistakes a day or two after first seeing them? )
Anyway, here it is done:

Graham: I'll throw a bagged Val into the prize pool. Thanks for keeping score.

much steadier hand than I when it comes to doing canopy frames , I usually use decal strips or Tamiya's thinnest tape.
BTW , and one tiny comment, my drawings show that the outrigger struts were sky all the way down to the floats, as was the practice when the under surfaces were pale blue.
Thanks for the offer of the Val - I will do three draws when the time comes - so we now have a Boomerang, a Val and a Firefly as prizes.
And I have to say, you choose a nice attractive colour scheme, I think it will definitely stand out in a line of Kingfishers
Nice work Andrew, and I like the open canopy

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many
modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant
reference information and photos to this Forum too.
This Group Build will feature Airfix, Frog and Matchbox kits.
Build as many kits as you like
Conversions, aftermarket and
scratchbuilding are all permitted.
Any markings are acceptable.
Document your progress and do a
write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did
you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if
everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature
Article.
