CedB Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Now that one looks very nice Jaime. My choice has been extended by the recent Jadlam voucher from the MTO GB. This one: But wait, no crew??!! No worries, I can mould a copy of the pilot from my other entry: he said, confidently. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Simon, thanks for the link. It's a superb site, full of information! I've already looked at several articles about the Felixstowe.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 To whit; despite my earlier moaning about this (not entirely tank-friendly) GB, me having one (well one and three quarters TBH) of these in my stash: & one of these: And this one (with a plethora of aftermarket): Not to forget: Or: Or indeed: & then there's all the float-planes. So.....Having totally destroyed my own credibility as a Trackhead, I guess I'd better pick one! 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hi Sarge, That's a really nice collection you have there! Any decisions yet on which one(s) to build? Cheers Jaime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't beat yourself up over it, just make the break, step out of the closet and admit you are a latent Air Head! You will be among friends here. Lovely selection of aircraft kits there Mike 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Not decided on anything yet, but you can count me in for a Rufe at the very least. I'm actually rather more broad-minded than I make out.....I even have some stuff in my stash that's not 1/72 scale! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Well, that would mean two A6M2-N. Doesn't matter, I have some choice in my stash, and as I think some diversity would be welcome, I'll go for something else. What about the Norseman? I've found a good reference on the bookshelves, but I'll have to look for decals. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Ahhh More Matchbox kits. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 If I ever get round to my own Norseman it will be built as the stripy land-based WWII version, so you are well safe there. I wasn't saying I was definitely going to build a Rufe, but something of at least that magnitude (ie: small & simple).....I've got quite a few float-planes to choose from too, well loads TBH, from the FROG Blackburn Shark through the spectrum to the Hasegawa Kyofu. I'd really like to have a go at upgrading the former, but I'm not sure my skills are up to it. This thread really is doing my Trackhead credentials no good at all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 It's not definitive on my side either, only a kind of teaser. I'll probably wait till the last second to decide and try for something interesting and not déjà vu in the GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have only one rule governing my choice.....No more new wingy-thing kits! It must come from my (not inconsiderable) stash as I am, in all honesty, drowning in a sea of plastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW cheers for posting the pic of the MK 1 Sunderland, it saves me finding it in the stash boxes still packed away. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jaime Hi Jaime, Just catching up with this. I built the same version when it first came out - complete with droopy wings. I used the Extratech PE set (EX72148), which I'd recommend if it's still available. The only problem is that you will actually need two sets, as it's designed for the Felixstowe versions without the extra wing-top gun position!
