Do as you wish guys. If I had 200 grand to invest in an electric car, I’d get a Porsche Taycan... And as a bonus, whilst you old farts sit three-in-a-row in your monster truck, I’ll get three hot chicks in my beautiful, environmentally-friendly, car
... They can even be Swedish, if that matters

PS: besides, I am already driving an ugly electric vehicle, with two-passengers’s capacity, big tires, and a rear-loading platform ... when I go golfing

On the same site, there is a second walkaround, with this specific pic, among many, on the float rudders cables.

Maybe this walkaround can be of some help ...

Kittyhawk’s 1/32 Mirage 2000 seems available, or it should be anytime soon.
Good news for modern jets afficionados

When I was you g, I could not get enough of the « Buck Danny » comics. They told the story of a US Navy major and his two wingmen/mates. I derived a love for e erything Navy, and the Panthers / Cougars / vigilantes / Demons, etc ... The series still exist today, with more elaborate scenarii, and far better aircraft illustrations by a well-known French aviation artist, Francis Bergèse.
The « Chevaliers du Ciel « comic series with the Mirage III C : heaven as well
And I read Closterman’s « Le Grand Cirque », of course. I grew with the feeling that the Tempest was soooooo much better than the Spitfire because of this book, but it was not enough for me to build any of those as kits ...

PS : if anyone does not know, those circles were in fact internal reinforcements of the wooden hull, to afix various instruments and equipments

Question for Ernie : the 1/700 Fokker Dr 1 has a fully-detailed cockpit ?

OK.
Here is my donation for the raffle : the rather nice Doyusaha A6M-2 in 1/32 ...
... with an additional twist inside the box, on top of the kit parts ...
Yes, this is the Pascal Huguet "Rufe" conversion set ...
Sorry for the blurred instructions in the first pic above, but you get the idea ...
I love flying boats and floatplanes, but, let's face it, I will probably never tackle this one before my 300th birthday

Possibly my next project in 1/24 scale.
it's a 1/24 de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver. Very simple snap together kit. I plan on super detailing this with complete scrach built interior. I have to cut out the window openings and add clear plastic. It's definitely going to be a lot of work. So wish me luck, I'm going to need it!
Ron G
Fantastic project, Ron ! IIRC there was an article in an issue of Fine Scale Magazine, that did just what you are planning to do.
A civilian, a floatplane, what’s not to love ?

On the subject of the DC3 This really did blow my skirt up!
Imagine what it could be like in polished aluminium, with a civilian livery and seats inside

Come on, HpH, if you want to sell more of these, give us the civilian version.

Hey Hubert
Your going to love that new Infinity. When I got mine, just recently, with the 0.2mm needle installed I mixed up some Vallejo model air and could paint 1/2 mm lines like I was drawing with a pencil! My Paasche Raptor couldn't even come close.

Got some Reskit wheels for some of my stash queens ...
- The OV-10
- The P-51 I want to make as a racer ...
The F-105 D got an addition to an-ever growing list of AM (until I find the resolve to tackle it and redo a correct windshield/canopy )
And finally, got myself an anticipated Christmas present
This is the 2-in-1 set, with 2 needles and nozzles (0.15 and 0.4 mm) and two cups (2 and 5 ml). Did some fondling already : I understand why this brand is in such high praise. Everything oozes (German) quality

And drool you can, mate. Either version of their Swordfish is in the Top-5 efforts of their A-team. Add the SBD, and that leaves only 2 slots left for other Trumpeter kits ...

Don't be surprised if the Wildcat and Bearcat aren't quite as good. The Dauntless is one of Trumps best IMHO......HARV
Isn’t it rumoured to be an upscaled version of the Accurate Miniatures’ SBD ?

I never realised just how few 1/32 scale aircraft Tamiya has compared to their 1/48 scale collection
But mu choice would include these:
MiG-15 bis
Gloster Meteor F.1 & F.3
V-1 (Fieseler Fi103)
Fairey Swordfish Mk.I & Mk.2 Floatplane
Heinkel He162 A-2 "Salamander"
Mitsubishi G4M1 Yamamoto Transport (w/17 Figures)
Kawanishi N1K1 Kyofu Type 11Trumpeter have already upscaled the Tamiya Swordfish, and it is one of their « A-team+Tier-1 » kits ...

Well, as should have been expected, the whole thread initiated by Radu was deleted ...
Somehow, especially after Mark Proulx’s post, which deserved the title for post-of-the-year, for mentioning the degrading tone of LSP in the last months, and saying this was a shared view about LSP in many forums, I was hoping this would be kept, although fearing it would not...
Unfortunately, the team there do not seem able to grasp their drift, and change their modus operandi ... so sad, for a site which was my surrogate family for 10 years, and where I left many friends. But then, I kept a lot of them on LSM

No meltdown about Me.262 slats, or Mustang wings?? ...
Disappointed!!! ... I am not entertained!!
Rog
The slats on the Mustang dropped by themselves at low speed, and on the ground, when the engine vibrations made them drop. They were puttied, as was the cowling for the Jumo 004.
As for the 262 wings, they were puttied, but as the supply of raw material dropped by the end of the war, they started using Plaster of Paris instead, but rain soon washed it off, so you can see the rivets from 3/4 foot.I hold all this information from a primary source: the sister-in-law of the great-son of a great-uncle whose cousin was the son of a mop-pusher in the NASM reserves between September 1955 and October 1955, before being interned. So don’t you dare challenge me if you don’t want to endure my wrath ....

Last time I wanted to buy a kit, the question was SB, HLJ, BNA ? SWBO said : « Whichever, you’re GTG, but, IMHO, build it OOB, because, AFAIK, you’ve not finished one lately ». That was EZ : for some it was OOP, for other OOS ...
