Sure, but at a price!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I'll have to shop around for one below £50.

Not a WHIF but to show that I AM at least doing SOME modeling work again...


Mutsu in progress on the left, "from the box" raw plastic to become Nagato on the right. Anybody recognize anything about this apparently Chinese KO of a Japanese 1/2000 kit? I got lucky that I found some deadstock paint to complete the mixes I needed.

Thanks for the inspiration two ships to build at a later date,  the Cutty Sark and HMS Belfast.

Quote from: McColm on May 27, 2025, 03:26:06 PMWell if Lockheed had the seaplane idea for the C-130, then why not use the C-160.

Did one of those years ago: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal5/4301-4400/gal4321-TransallShorts-Bailey/00.shtm

Another non-Whif, if I can find an E-model B-17 in 1/200. Since I'm trying to get the guys at Ares to use the Hawaiian Air Depot scheme for their next B-17 because "we need COLORFUL"*snort* I figure I better set them up with a "this is what it SHOULD look like" sample lest they make another Bloody Balls-Up of it like they did Memphis Belle.
