I'd like to place a marker down for this.... I seem to be in the zone for seaplanes and flying boats at the moment and I'm not even sure why...... 😶 I have a Boeing 314 Clipper nearly finished in the KUTA group and I finished a little Airfix Grumman Gosling flying boat in the High Wing group. (boy, that was a challenging kit....) My Matchbox DHC-6 Twin Otter didn't have the floats option fitted. That was out of a Revell box but was indeed from the Matchbox tooling with the PK numbers still on the plain grey sprues. So my current Mbox choices are limited right now - my only other option is a Canberra PR9 and that's not ringing bells for me. This little Norseman though, is appealing, and the real clincher for me was when I noticed that ALL the control surfaces including the flaps are supplied separately. How rare is THAT ⁉️ The decal sheet is perhaps past its sell by date but I'm going to give them a go. Sometimes an old sheet responds to a bit of extra care and attention. If they look like they will work, then I'll go with the "Northway" civil scheme that's supplied. If they don't, well I'll have to come up with a Plan B. The transparencies look fine with no dimples, the 2 aircrew are a bit poor and military looking, and the wings and tailplanes are perhaps too ribby. But it all looks quite appealing in its own Matchbox multi colour way. Deal me in...., 😎
