Pretty cool Bernard (@lis). I think you've captured that scene that perhaps many of us would like to replicate ourselves. I can imagine the man standing on the fuselage trying to maintain his balance in those rolling seas and worrying that he might fall into the water. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your positive ratings. I can't wait for the Dornier Do-24 from Revell to finally arrive from Germany. Then I will test the water techniques again. For the first time it turned out quite promising. In any case, Modeler's world is worth recommending. I was afraid that today's weather would spoil taking good photos, but it turned out quite well. I just came back from an outdoor session and I'm going to start making a slideshow.

PS. George, You are right. KP kits has their issues. Unfortunetly during this build I need to use putty i all seams of fuselage, and wings. Canpy has very tight fit, and it started to crack during installation. Therefore, to mask its imperfections, I made an imitation of windshield wipers, and I made imitation of wiper marks on the windshield, by semi gloss clear whiped in right places by earstick with thinner.

A wonderful diorama, Bernard @lis
This Widgeon is nicely displayed in its natural environment.

@gblair I try to hide it under whippers and dirty glass. You can see it on corner in right on photo. I forgot to write few words about undercarridge. I’m do happy that I choose closed undercarridge. Parts on manual looks quite different as in frames. I have idea that bad manual was for Resin prototype.
