Me.....................

 

I fancy finding a Revell/Matchbox DO-28 Skyservant on Fleabay. 

 

Made a few as a kid, three colour Matchbox all the way!!!!  They were regularly in the Sweetshop on Brook Street back home in Colchester.  I guess

they weren't sexy to kids.  But I liked them.

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!

Probably because there aren't that many to choose from!

I totally missed this one when first suggested along with everyone's interest.

 

I am in with plenty of post war twins to try.

1/72 kc30…… or even better make it a one of our Voyagers :)

I only have a 1/144 kit for the Voyager/KC-30 :D . Perhaps a BAC-111, DC-9 or B737 in 1/72? Though I am leaning towards a G550 at this stage.

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

Stu,

 

It is not too hard to shorten the fuselage, the other change is replacing the tailfin with aftermarket and modifying it. 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.

I have so many twins that need to be built, 2 Canberras and a couple B-57s, Il-28, Be-12, a couple Chinooks, a Sea Cobra, numerous Eagles, Hornets, Phantoms, Buccs, Javelins and I am sure plenty more.  Please add me to the list.

Having no doubt in your commitment to 'build 'em all', I'd suggest that some of them could make their way to this

 

Along with much appreciated spare votes!

TIA

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!
