Martinnfb Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Still very decent kit, shape wise . Special Hobby has really nice one in 1/48. And we can only dream of one in 1/32 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be another massive hunk of plastic with too few details, necessitating large amounts of AM, or many hours spent researching and scratchbuilding.... speaking of which.... ever finish that He-111P you were building on TOS? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted July 6, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2019 Lambair Otter. These pics bring back GOOD memories. I loaded and unloaded these on the docks at Landing Lake as a kid. Got paid with some ride alongs and got to see the northern camps. 18 years later I was doing it myself in a somewhat larger aircraft, my freight after being unloaded, would be stuffed onto these for the trips to the camps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted July 6, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2019 That’s a new one for me, actually. Junkers, Stinson, Fairchild, and Fokker had the northern market cornered. I knew Ford had a tough time competing up there. I’m not sure ANY new Fords were bought by Canadian operators. Alaska yes, but Fokker and Junkers and were kings of the heavy lifters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted July 8, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 8, 2019 The north country is littered with the hulks of Junkers, Fokkers, Fairchilds, and Norsemen. DHCs used to be as well, but Otters and Beavers are worth their weight in gold and are all hauled out for rebuilding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrankyCrafstman Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 This is my idea of a float plane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
