Welcome aboard, I've had a soft spot for the Skyservant since building the same kit when I was a kid, I actually found one in my stash at the weekend! 6 hours ago, PhantomBigStu said: Plenty of scope so sure sign me up Great to have you sign up Stu. 6 hours ago, Richard Humm said: I could do a Canberra or a Meteor or an F-5 or a Phantom or a Lightning or...

PhantomBigStu Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 Remembered my question about the largest ww2 twin, wonder if a company will give us a 1/144 777X by the time this happens as the largest twin aircraft ever..... 2

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted September 27, 2024 Posted September 27, 2024 I totally missed this one when first suggested along with everyone's interest. I am in with plenty of post war twins to try. 4

Perhaps a BAC-111, DC-9 or B737 in 1/72? Though I am leaning towards a G550 at this stage. 2

Only half joking, I might actuallly do with the voyager myself now the revells been released with the right engines, particualy if I pick up either the decals or the kit in advance and its not a major outlay, though shortening the fuselage sounds little daunting

The -200's fin is wider in chord and taller then the kit one. Braz makes replacement fins. I have the conversion parts for the Voyager in the stash and some basic decals as well as a started KC-30. Might have to finish it one day. 1

RC Boater Bill Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 I hope this one makes it! I found several eligible kits in the stash, all in 1/72: Which one I pick will depend on the timing. Probably won’t be the Marlin- that thing is huge, and kinda ugly! 3
