In, as well...

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here.

Łukasz Gliński
As you can see there are only two 😛

Djordje Nikolic
Really nice! We don't see enough floatplanes!

Nicolas
I'm in of course. IS the rear seat for the pilot still availibal?

Cuajete
I also have to see the swimmer brother be born 😛

Alec K
OG KP build? I am in, of course.

Skyhiker
Good luck Lukasz. Don't trust this kit to be accurate. I had to make a lot of corrections when I made it.

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome everyone, very glad to see you joining 👍
Skyhiker, it's not meant to be top accurate, just as nicely looking as I can 🙂

Skyhiker
Enjoy. Looking forward to seeing it built.

Łukasz Gliński
I think I know what you meant - once I started assembling the floats.
The mounting struts are completely different (SP-AFY had locallly designed floats).
While I won't correct the floats themselves, I decided to rebuild the struts so they resemble the original at least in general.
Very happy I bought the reference material for this project 🙂

Łukasz, I see you've set up a company to build Piper models. 😄
I wish you a lot of fun and patience in building.

Łukasz Gliński
Velke diky Ludviku, there's one more in my stash, but the new KP edition 😄

Thomas Kolb
This is coming along nicely! Did you scratch-build the float struts? It sure looks very neat!

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks - sort of, I cut into pieces the underwing struts from the first Piper (the one where the paint peeled off)

Bas Tonn
Good looking little floatplane. Looking forward to the next steps.

Cuajete
Good job with float struts! 👍

It turns out very well, Lukasz! 👍 Following with Interest.

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome folks! After a short hiatus I started spraying today. The frist part is the Ultramarine.

Zbynek Honzik
Yes, Łukasz! 👍 Keep it up!

Great progress!👍🏻

Łukasz Gliński
Thank you, decals have been added today. I can only repeat all the builders of this kit: decal film is extremely thin and definitely needs liquid decal film, otherwise they are extremely difficult to handle.

Hi! I see you're having fun too on this one!
About the decals, yes they need liquids, but also extra care as they're very brittle. Poor quality...

gasolier
It's pretty in silver

Łukasz Gliński
It is indeed and I was able to achieve the slightly shaded metallic silver, which I'm proud of.

Thomas Kolb
Hey, that looks really sweet! Yes, the silver color on the original was actually silver dope, i.e. metallic paint to provide protection to the fabric from the sun, so the shade of the silver paint is absolutely correct.

Cuajete
Looking so good, Łukasz!

Ludvík Kružík
Very nice progress! The combination of silver and blue looks very nice.

Skyhiker
Thank you for not making this a tail sitter.

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome and thanks y'all!
Skyhiker, sorry to say that but it is indeed. I plan to add smal transparent chocks at the end so it looks better 🙂
