  1. Hi T, The G24 is a very interesting aircraft and if you need a bit of reference try to get a look at Rob Mulder et al, book on the subject. A militarised Russian version of it was used to rescue Umberto Nobile and his airship crew. There is an amusing film abailable online called "The Red Tent" about this rescue and lots of footage of the 'G24'. The film will hopefully enthuse you and give you a real laugh - especially from the actor playing Roald Amundsen! I have made a model of the 'aircraft' depicted in the film. Hope this inspires you. Enjoy Adrian
  2. Mike, you are an inspiration 🙂
  3. Looking forward to your build Pat. I have a Veeday kit lined up of the Dragon Rapide which will be turned into a Canadian bushplane with floats. I'm interested as to what can be done with this subject to make it look good. So get building mate 🙂 ee
  4. Jabba, Hope you get things sorted and I look forward to what you come up with 🙂
  5. HI Keith, That sounds absolutely fascinating. I would love to see the pictures and information - Thank You. I think the National Museum in Ottawa would also be interested 🙂
  6. Wow Tony. Never heard of Wes Anderson, what would you say is his best film ? I'll look it up 🙂
  7. Back in the model room I picked up the Lizzie again The Roy Cross picture depicts the flourescent pain on the steps I wonder if he used this image
  8. Whilst I was away on my break I got itchy fingers and dropped into the Hereford model shop and bought a Revell starter kit of Richtofen's DR1 The wings were almost straight !
  9. The Anson, Grumman Duck, Do17 and Lysander will all be completed by deadline of 24th. Just had a serious detonation at home so have taken a sabbatical for a few days.
  10. 'Never say die' - or never say don't make something catastrophic. Chin up Adrian
  11. I must admit I'm getting quite excited again about modelling. Will this slightly odd colour combination work - Who Knows ? But its fun 🙂
  12. Now with a bit of lustre. The prototype test fuselage in the foreground
  13. Been out of the loop for a while. Now here's some Gold !
