HubertB Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Well, the title says it all. As the kit is now OOP, and seems rarer to find than a hen's teeth, I am looking for one. If you have one in the stash and do not think you will ever build it, please get in touch with me via PM. Many thanks in advance.

krow113 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 lol A little more to it than age , this being British Columbia and all. I dont think its the Silver Wings one either Hub , its a resin and other multi media , cant remermber the name of the company . I got 2 of their kits the other is a Boomerang...anyone? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 It must be Alleycat. IIRC, the master modeller behind Alleycat was a Polish guy who later went on to start Silver Wings. The Boomerang is not my stuff, but I mght be interested in the Alleycat Bulldog. Let me check what i fo I have. Hubert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Found it. Unfortunately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Yes. I could not find traces of an Alley Cat or Montex Bulldog. And I already have the Gamecock, albeit in different livery (just checked the stash, because memory, age, etc. ). It’s a neat little kit, btw. Thanks a lot for taking the time to peruse your stash. So, any other one who may have forgotten a lone Bulldog in his/her stash ? Hubert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Alley Cat who got in touch with Silver Wings owner to propose purchasing some of their masters 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Thank you for the clarification. I stand corrected then. Still, I am looking for a Bulldog kit Hubert 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverwings Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Guys, the deal with the Bulldog kit is that once it stopped being a top-seller, which is natural after few years pass from kit's premiere, orders become more and more rare, which makes it hard to maintain all kit components in a good condition. Basically, if you manage to gather people interested in at least 20 Bulldogs, we would be happy to bring the kit back for this one time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Why don’t you ask for interest on your website, and on LSP ? You just have to find another 19 now Hubert PS : ... or send via email to your customer base a « request for interest » 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 A bump for this one,as I have just received an email (like all their customers I believe) from Simon asking which of the discontinued kits I'd be interested to see re-released ! My answer was the Bullddog and the Siskin ! Hubert 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 1 Administrators Share Posted August 1 I might have one extra, Hubert. I think I do, just not sure where. I’m pretty crazy on interwar High Speed Silver birds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the interwar British machines, and the Bulldog and Siskin both are true classics. The Bulldog is one of those drop dead gorgeous Golden Age biplanes that just have “the look”. I always wondered about the British. They designed some truly beautiful aircraft up through the 1930s, but then, the ugly stick hit them and we got such scary lookers as the Gannet, the Skua, the Battle, the Sea Venom, and many other not so pretty aircraft. Was it all just punishment for the soon to be Blackburn ROC? Maybe if you are also over on the other forum, post this and maybe a few folks will step up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have actually asked the question in their sponsors’ forum, Ernie (funnily enough in one of the threads I initiated) … I you take two Bulldogs, plus Fran, plus me, they just need another 16 to take the jump. That should be a no-brainer Hubert 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 2 Administrators Share Posted August 2 Well, a few guys here also sometimes log into LSP, so maybe 16 of them can cough out a few €€€ I also would love another Siskin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 2 Administrators Share Posted August 2 The Siskin was flown by the RCAF as well, so I have a great deal of interest in it. And I’d very much an He.51 land plane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
