Title: Mu-2J floatplane
Post by: ericr on December 01, 2017, 11:59:59 PM

another Mitsubishi : I got hold of two Mu-2, the S (in yellow plastic, lovely  ;) ) and this one, the J
(I had built one very long ago, in the previous century when I was still a kid, and had a fit of nostalgy I guess  ;D )

I fitted it with floats from a Trumpeter An-2, and struts from a Revell twin otter

It will be blue

It's very pretty, and surely won't sink, with those floats!

Didn't think it possible, but you've actually given me warm feelings for an MU-2.  :thumbsup:

Try servicing one. Haven't met a ramp rat who likes Hirohito's Revenge. Been there, done that, invented new words.  ;D

I think I heard it had a suboptimal reputation ; but in whiff world all this is weightless, and we keep only what's good  ;D
