William, Bloody brilliant, mate! i looks real...

Definitely the B-25H

Very simple, actually...

There was a guy out of England on LSP advertising a resin British birdcage version of the Chippie. But no blown canopy Canadian version. He pointed out a lot of semi major differences between the pair as well. Not just as simple as changing canopies

Yup Tutor would be perfect size too. Chipmunk, Beaver, Single Otter, C-7 Caribou, C-8 Buffalo all in 1/32, plus CF-100 and CF-105 both in scale 1/48 or bigger would be bloody amazing.

No, not in your wildest dreams. But even if I wanted to, I think it’d be wildly out of scale. I think a combination of paint and foil would be killer on this thing.

The thing looks positively graceful in those pics. I never really realized the size of these until seeing one last year in Omaha. It actually made the B-52 seem small, even though it’s probably bigger.

I believe that was after a tornado direct hit at the Consolidated-Vultee Aircraft plant in Fort Worth, Tx

Good grief that looks amazing!

I give much for a 1/32 Tutor

You also get a special numbered plaque that goes with the model, and two seriously large and heavy plugs of nose weight, that are discs the diameter of the fuselage. I have no clue what they’re made of but they seem heavier even than lead. Depleted uranium perhaps? Who knows, but they’re darn heavy.

Dave that’s stunning! I love the natural aluminum look.

We wait a couple weeks and see, bud. Mug-9 was already for sale a few weeks before that one was bought.

1/32 - F-101B Voodoo or CF-100 Canuck 1/35 - C-7 Caribou 1/48 - CF-105 Arrow or C-46 Commando 1/72 - IL-76M

I really hope his K-36 did as K-36s normally do... I don’t like seeing flight crews die.

Oh, and no CD for the B-36. Here you get a real full color 8nstruction book.

Iain, let me assure you of this; This model cost me $615.00. Yes it’s expensive, but it’s than half of what you would pay online. They’re on eBay, Sprue Brothers, and other places for $1250.00 and more. My HPH dealer is 15 Miles from my home so I pay no shipping. If you, or anyone else wants one, I believe he may have a couple more available. The price I paid for this is almost half what people pay for Tamiya 1/16 scale tanks, or about five Wingnut two seaters, plus, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I’d say if you want the Peacemaker, this is as good as it’ll ever get and is probably the only chance you’ll have at trade price. Old guns and models are my only real hobbies these days, so if you’re like me, buy one. Heck, if you don’t like it, put it on eBay and double your money. Me, I’m a builder, not a speculator. I build my stuff.

So how much $$$$$$$$?

It will be mine....

Ya I have my magic file and strip plastic too. No muss, no fuss.

Agreed, but to me, 1/35 is still just Tamiya scale. It’s all but useless to me.

Well, let’s be honest. Full resin kits, especially the earlier kits from the early to mid 2000s have alot of fitting, filing, sanding, adjusting, and fiddling just get everything ‘just so’. I’ve already made the rudder post bottom too narrow, so I’ll need to shim it out some with plastic card stock, then fill and rescribe. Such is the price of being in a hurry. Slow and careful wins this race.

Noice! I’d certainly do one of those. I like support equipment. It’s never built. I have the complete V2 set with launcher, trailer, and tractor that I’d like to do. Plus Copper State just came out with absolutely cool WW1 RNAS Lanchester Armored Car in 1/35 Tamiya Scale that would look cool with the Felixstowe.

So with the end being open ended, just keep on building..... As soon as the interest wanes, it’ll be consigned to history. Let’s just build some Würgers, I’m gonna be pretty OOB with mine.

The Iroquois engine ended up warping and twisting the B-47s fuselage so badly that the aircraft was deemed a total loss and was stricken from the inventory. The Iroquous engine was powerful enough where the crew would idle the other 6 and cruise around on just the Iroquous. My Dad was RCAF and he told me how the RCAF had several B-47s at Downsview in the mid 50s being evaluated for potential service. They decided to go with missiles instead which was also a reason the Arrow was dumped.
