Supermarine S-5

Wings an floats ready for assembly/paint 

Testfitting the floats 

Not the best fit, had to add quite an amount styrene profile into the front fuselage joint. 

Dry fit 

One side glued, fit is real bad 

Spend quite some time on making the cowl fit, by sanding and adding styrene, to get clean seams and avoid scribing. Was‘nt really successful...... 

So now I have to do what I hate most - scribing 

Nose closed and sanded flush. No putty, just CA. 

Canopy installed 

Misled by the instructions I sprayed the canopy blue, only to find that there was no evidence for that in my refrences. 

Kit part in comparison with the scratched one.  

Looks a lot better than the kit part, I think
