LukGraph has released a new series of renderings for their upcoming Grumman Goose model kit in 1/32 scale. These images focus on the interior, the 3D design for which was just completed. The company states that “there’s something to discover in every corner of the bow compartment, cockpit, cabin, and rear compartment. If you choose to leave doors and hatches open, viewers can explore the “hidden gems” gradually—peering inside through these little keyholes and spotting detail piece by piece.”
The US service versions add even more equipment, including AN-Mk 4 night drift signals, a sophisticated radio rack, soundproofed wall lining, and parachutes paired with upholstered armchairs. Even the baggage compartment is richly detailed, featuring items such as a water tank, de-icing liquid tank, wash basin, “Sierra” chemical toilet, and a folded work platform—plus Mk IV parachute flare ejectors and a Type A-3 pneumatic raft.
The cabins of JRF-5 aircraft delivered for foreign service were not soundproofed, making the internal fuselage structure even more visible. The RAF version includes R1116 receivers, RAF O2A compasses, and chart boards that can be built either stowed or unfolded. Seating is a little more modest than on most US-service JRFs, but 13362 Quick Attachable Parachutes can be neatly stacked beneath. Navigation Flame Floats Mk II and Smoke Floats are also included as standard equipment. The French version additionally features the A-52 guns used in Indochina during air-support sorties.
Civilian Grumman G-21 Goose versions feature leather armchairs, a silenced cabin, and a fully “furnished” baggage compartment. Passenger essentials such as a life raft, boarding ladder, and chemical toilet are included to complete the look of a properly equipped aircraft.
As of this writing, the model is “almost ready,” although a final release date has not yet been announced. Click below to check out additional images.
