Atlantic scheme for a land-based Kingfisher is a great idea George @gblair. It's different in look all the way around.

Here's some photos from the model I did with the Meteor/Cutting Edge cockpit interior that can help you with that interior of the cockpits. There is a US Navy set of Falcon vacuform canopies that has the Kingfisher - I recommend it for being able to open up the canopies better than you can with the kit. Look up Decal Supply Corps on eBay.

Love the idea of the Kingfisher! I hadn't thought about doing one in Atlantic scheme, but love that idea! I have another 1/72 one in my stash, and think Atlantic may be the way to go! Looking forward to seeing you "floatless" version emerge...

No problem, John (@johnb). I thought you meant that this Monogram model would be a good addition to the previous Monogram B-25.

Thanks, Eric (@eb801). I have wanted to build a wheeled Kingfisher for a long time, and I wanted to do an Atlantic Scheme, so two birds with one stone. Yeah! You need to post a photo of your Kingfisher for inspiration.

Just like Eric, the Monogram Kingfisher was the first aircraft kit I built when I resumed the hobby with renewed interest a few years ago. I scratch built some of the rear cockpit for added detail, but then botched the finish a bit before a final recovery.

I'll post it someday when the time is right, but can share some of what I did on the interior if you'd like in the meantime.

I also have another in the stash for a Yellow Wings land version, and look forward to seeing your Atlantic bird.

I have been doing some research to determine what I want to do to the kit interior to make it more like the real item. I probably should have done this first, since I have discovered that the kit has a pretty nice interior that bears very little resemblance to the actual plane. The pilot's section consists of a 5-sided box that frames the area, and includes the side consoles, floor, rear bulkhead, and a rather blocky seat attached to the rear bulkhead. I thought it had some potential until I found some interior photos on the Internet. It turns out the front cockpit of the model is almost entirely fictitious. The real aircraft has no floor at all in the pilot section. I need to decide how far down the rabbit hole I will go in the effort to make the model interior look like the real thing. This should be a real fun exercise in scratchbuilding.

In the meantime, I found a company online that makes a really nice 3D printed update set for the Kingfisher that includes a new float, an accurate pilot's compartment, an accurate rear compartment, a full engine, and a new cowling. They have several 3D printed sets for Monogram kits, including the AT-6 and the B-29. If anyone would like to check them out, they are called Flightline Engineering. I ordered the Kingfisher set, which I will use on the next one I build.

Tomorrow it will be rabbit hole time, so I am checking the batteries in my flashlight as I begin my descent into the scratchbuilding darkness. Should be fun.!?!

Interesting research, my friend @gblair!
Great job, my friend @tail-dragon!

Some other drawings that might help (the 1/32 Kittyhawk instruction also have a lot of detail)...
