Viking Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I love the variety of subjects you builds Russ, but this one is really, really good to see. Like others have said, shame it isn't more widely available. I think we need an up to date kit of the Beaver. As an aside, if you like a good read I recommend Think like a bird one mans story of flying the Beaver in the British Army, back in the 1960's. (I borrowed a copy from my local library, so possibly others will have it or can get it). Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John, the revetment walls: I cut them off the bottom of some Noy`s Minatures 1/48 Vietnam back drops and glued them onto some sheets of plastic and taped them together. The back drops them selves are just a bit too small to use for anything bigger than a Skyhawk or F-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajmm Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Well remember the Otter (have it saved as a reference when I finally get to mine) and this is equally handsome. Will look great together. Beautifully finished as ever - very very impressive work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Another cracker for your Vietnam collection Russ. Wish these kits were easier to find as there are no end of interesting schemes for them. Nice job on the Otter too, don't see too many of those finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hi Russ! As always very nice work. There are some many interesting Hobbycraft kits in my scale - Beaver or Caribou for example, but unfortunately nearly impossible to get. Cheers, Mario 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciao Hi frequentflyer, think there was a little misunderstanding. Wanted to say that Hobbycraft produced a lot of these interesting aircraft types in 1/72 which is my favourite scale of modelling. Unfortunately have none of these model kits in the stash. Only Hobbycraft kits that are easy to find for a reasonable price are their F-86 Sabres.
