A while back @Mike stated that if I had not got the Amusing Hobby kit of this totally bonkers aircraft on order, he would be a monkey's uncle. I am delighted to report that he has in fact been spared this particular ordeal as I now have both the 1/48 Amusing Hobby and the 1/35 Mini Art kits sitting safely in the stash.
The initial plan, at least before the usual mayhem starts, is to do a straight build of the larger kit and use the Amusing Hobby offering to do a diorama. A certain General of the Parish has already promised to weigh in on the creative side of the diorama so there should be plenty of laughs there! I should have preferred the diorama to have been in the larger scale but size considerations have to come into play.
There is a reasonable amount of information and even a book on this subject, so I will be looking to add a reasonable amount of detail to the models, at least when I have managed to recover my book from behind the radiator where it slipped just prior to Telford! I shall be using the excellent brass undercarriage set that @Ali62 of Aerocraft Models made for the 1/48 kit as the supplied undercarriage is going to be way too fragile.
Anyway, lets see where these bonkers kits lead us...…………..
