Or anything similar, suitable to be a cross channel drug runner.....
I am doing a build on a FB page and have the Airfix Tucano as an armed patrol a/c...but I need a victim. Something prop driven in 1/72, preferred it be Airfix or Frog, Heller or Humbrol as per build rules....some of the nice airfix semi civilian a/c go for silly money so if anyone has a part built something.....even thinking of the lifeboat.....speed boat...? Anything a drug runner could get cheaply n run for cross Channel drug drops.....Tucano is finished...  :thumbsup:....many thanks, deadline is end of June....

Anti drug running Tucano?

As my late Uncle would often say "Once a copper. Always a copper"  :wacko: ;D ;D

Seeing as Ive been building a fair few cessnas of late..............Dont think Ive got anything suitable going spare Hank.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

  ;) ;D  :wacko: :rolleyes: airfix do some lovely kits but they are expensive, not the Jetstream but they did a smaller twin....Beagle...? The Skyvan be another choice....or I think Heller did an An-2...

Yes,Airfix did do a Beagle 206 twin, but it's been OOB for many years, but was re-instated in their short lived crowd-funded operation.

I got a couple of them in that scheme, but they're 120 miles away from me at the moment, I'm afraid.
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! :)

Yes, the Beagle has a couple of pilots, but both with helmets on as they're RAF pilots ----

You could try PJ Productions

This project sounds intriguing ;   a  Tucano in Battenburg** markings and a blue light on top.

Strobez is our tame expert on wiring up aeroplanes  to produce, in this case,  a spinning prop and a flashing light or two.

There is a set of pics on the what if? FB site, of the build. It is an RAF one and not an Old Bill one....damn...!! Never thought of that....!!!

The Airfix Heron is in production at the moment:

How about a Matchbox/Revell Do.28 or Do 28 would they fit the rules?

Eastern Express do the ex-Frog Ventura, a good handful were civilianised.

Airfix Grumman Widgeon was around fairly recently, should be able to find one.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
