Looks great !! I did the float version of this in Canadian SAR markings a few years ago. I see Revell has a re-issue—-maybe some day.

Thanks Phil, do you have pic’s ?

Hi Allan,
Great job, and very nice gloss finish. Just a question, have you ever try to enhance a bit panel line, with artist oil color or panel liner several brand produce ( Mig, AK, Tamiya …) ? I believe your Otter will gain a lot darkening a bit engraved Doors, Flap, ailerons etc….
Allan J Withers said on May 29, 2016
Thanks Roberto, I don’t really like overly enhanced panel lines, but maybe just a little on things as you said, I do put exhaust stains etc on some models.

Thanks P.k.

Typically neat finish from you, Allan, I like the way you manage to use different finishing materials on various parts of the model but still make it look like one overall finish.
Allan J Withers said on May 29, 2016
Thanks George.

Great and clean build! I love these old Matchbox kits but they needs considerable effort (or TLC?) to make them right 🙂

Thanks Gabor, one of their better kits.
