What? An aeroplane at MSW? Sure, when it is a "flying boat" ! MSW Crew-mate Jim McIntosh (JimMrr) sends us a batch of photo's of his kit based, scratch-built detailed Lohner L, WWI reconnaissance flying boat, in this very interesting and unique, MSW "On Display" feature!

If is has boat/ship in its name it should fit right in here.

Being a naval and aviation nut I can say this, BEAUTIFUL!

Heck, I think any modeler would think the same thing.

Thank you for the pictures Jim.

Thank you Gunny for pushing the boundries back a little.

Very nice work Jim.

Hi Jim,

Heck of a job! I know how difficult vac forms can be, but it looks like you persevered and won big time. Very nice job on the wood work.

Beautiful job Jim!

Mike

that is a gorgeous build! thanks....

Many thanks guys

An outstanding job on a flying "Boat"

Having had the privilege of seeing this fine model up close at local model shows, I can honestly say that the photos do not give a good account on just how small the model is and how tightly packed the fine detail is.

Well done Jim, and thanks for sharing.

truly a great craftsman's work, I love the fragility of the work

That is a superb build and what a beautiful aeroplane. Sheer class!

You guys are too kind ...Im just glad you guys like this model too...I had /have an extremely torrid love affair with her...Im really looking foreward to repairing the tail section,which I inadvertantly destroyed when I hit it with the lens of my camera taking closeups! I tend to almost forget about most of the models I build...but not this one....

Hey: I just got a chance to check out your flying boat! Great job! I really like the way you replicated the natural wooden hull and propeller! Keep up the great work! And it's a vacuform kit to boot!

Beautiful work, I love this aircraft
Is it a boat with wings? Can a plane or to float?

these works are appreciated by their originality

Thank you Domi,yes this is an aircraft that can land on water.

Yes Domi, to all questions!

Hi Guys ---Id really like some advice here ...now that the mental trauma I suffered from crushing my Lohners tail has subsided ...Im planning my repairs....I am currently thinking of drilling the fuselage on one side of the tailstrut connection location. If I leave 1 strut slightly longer I can positively mount the tailsection. The sweaty part is the fact that I have 3 sets of 2 control cables to not only keep tight ....but keep from tearing out of their locations.( Iv already re-rigged this tail 3 times now and its enough to make me homicidal at times!)

What do you guys think,am I over engineering this thing,....any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
