Bruno Vanhecke's S-55X

[Nando]

I just completed the S.55x model I bought from Bruno Vanhecke.
Here some picture of the building process.

Here some problem with the left wing.

All the engine components ready to assemble.
I worked on the lattice of engine support for give a round shape to the strut.

Just a dry fit

Model completed with some wiring

Finally the model with some other models of 300 Bruno's series at an exhibition to which I recently participated.

The model is beautiful, easy to assemble. It renders very well the inusual shape of this airplane.
I enjoyed to build it.

Best, Nando

Very very nice subject and realization.
Compliments! Another great plane added to the collection.

You are very active in your lab as well as in the outer world!

We hosted "BobsCardModels' for some time, I guess he removed them, which was his right. I didn't know. He makes great models, and his price cannot be beat!

Thanks much, but isn't this a different kit?

The markings are different and the parts assemble differently with different curvatures, especially with the pontoon-hulls. In fact, the hulls have a different shape at the bows. Taill assembly is different too.

This is a larger than 1/72 scaled model too, right?

Unless this is a different version of Bob's?

Just looking for this one, as I like the graphics. Where do you buy Bruno Vanhecke's kits; anyone know?

Just checking again if anyone knows where this kit might be found? It was attributed to Bruno Vanhecke.
