Thank you so much for all the postive feedback gentlemen.
It really makes me eager to speed up a bit, but I do not yet master the techniques well enough to speed up.
As a matter of fact, better a slow but nicer build instead of a speedy build which you in the end don't like.

Last week I spent time to get the floats, nacelle with struts and the underwing painted. After this the floats were finally attached to the underwing and the rigging was put on tension.
The rigging was painted with a silver artist marker afterwards.
The floats with their rigging did go on pretty well I would say.
Only thing that bothers me a bit is the top side color. Searching the internet I do see Walruses have this kind of color combination, but it looks different than what I see on the box art.
Would like some opinion from you my friends on the chosen colors.

Looks really good, John (@johnb). You certainly have the patience needed to do this sort of work.

@airbum
Thanks a lot Erik. It is a great kit to learn some new techniques, and that will just take time.

@gblair
Thanks George. Without patiance this kit is doomed to fail.

@fiveten
Thanks a lot Spiros. Appreciate your help. I did search for color pictures of Walrusses on the internet and found quite some differences between them, likely also because color pictures at that time were not of such a high quality. As you said, best to follow the Airfix instructions.
Just wondering, have you build a Walrus yourself as well, or is it still in stock?

Another update on this great plane.

While building it, I start to love this plane and its shape more and more.

Since I was not satisfied with the outcome of the colors, I did a repaint. The colors looked much better but unfortunately after removing the tape also a part of the paint came loose. So sanding and painting again was the only option.

The colors do look a bit dark due to the white background.

Eventualy I was satisfied with the results and rigging was attached to the upper part of the bottom wing before glueing together both halves of the bottom wing.

Now that the bottom wings are attached to the fuselage it really begins to look like a Walrus.

As can be seen from the pictures, a lot of wires need to be attached to the bottom part of the upper wing, which will be the next phase.

Need to find a good way to have the wings correctly levelled first.

Currently she looks a bit like spiderwoman.

Wow John, well done and the aircraft is looking wonderful! I am glad you know where the rigging wires go! Looking forward to the next update!

This is great progress and a truly nice result so far, my friend @johnb!
It indeed starts to look like a Walrus!
Looking forward to it!

You have a lot more patience than I do, John (@johnb). All of this work will be worth it.

Coming along great, John.
