Britman Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Got my copy of the new Mushroom Fairy Flycatcher book and its great. Only plans are in 1/48th but cover all you might need to detail any model. This will be a great help when Airfix begin their interwar biplane series in 48th! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Oooooooooooooooooooo <deep breath> ooooooooooohhhhh. I'll have to look out for that, I have 2 of the old LifeLike kits in the stash. Airfix won't do one until I make a start on butchering the second one, so don't hold your breath. Although maybe if we write to Mr Jackson, he can direct (heh) his little hobby group to make a start on one. 32 is the perfect size for WW1 scouts IMO. (As an aside, googling 'mushroom flycatcher' gets you... flycatchers shaped like mushrooms. Who'd a thunk it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hampden80 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Ok , i `ll get Airfix to produce the Flycatcher. I`ll dig out my Veeday models 1/72 kit ,start building and have a nervous breakdown. If you don`t know Veeday, they were made by the same gentleman who made Merlin Models. If you have ever attempted a Merlin kit, you`ll know what i mean.

hampden80 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I really shouldn`t be some nasty to Merlin Models.Some were build able ,but others, Westland Wapiti for example, well completely right into the bin to save your sanity. I speak from experience. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptmvarsityfan Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi, may get this book at Telford, seems good. Karaya models produce very good resin Flycatchers in 1/72, four different boxings including the floatplane. Aeroclub did an injection moulded Flyactcher with white metal parts, a good kit which I made a few years ago, not sure if still available though. Cheers, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
