Ryan STM, A50-2, 3 Communications Unit RAAF 1942.
1/72 MPM, I replaced and added a few things, exhausts from sprue, pitots and bracing from brass wire, air scoops from alloy foil, finished in Humbrol and MM enamels with Future and Micro flat over kit decals.
7 additional images. Click to enlarge.
Allan, I knew they had at least one of them, ex NEI. Wonder how it got there, after the East Indies fell. Nice work!
Thanks Bernard, It seems the Dutch brought 34 with them when they evacuated to Australia in 1942.
Nice job on those exhausts, Allan.
Thanks Craig.
Very nice Alan.
Thanks Jeffry.
Very nice Alan! I looked for the float version of this kit, but haven't found one yet. Your additions really smartened up the kit.
Thanks Greg, this is the float version ! three options, PT20-U.S.Army 1941, STM-RAAF 1942 and STM S2-N.E.I.Army 1940, this kit seems to have been discontinued.
Looks cool in camo. Nice work.
Thanks Bill.
Very accurate and clean build, Allan. Congratulations!
Thanks Dmitry.
Very nice Allen! I never know any of those made it Australia.
Thanks John, the RAAF had 34.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks Robert.
Looks like the real thing was a bit draughty, but the model has turned out well.
Thanks George, fully air conditioned !
