It's one of the larger aircraft I would not mind having in 1/72 though saying that 1/144 is easier for storage and transportation. I shall probably have to save my pennies.

MikroMir were asking about drawings on BM so i suspect they may be looking at one to go with the Beverley
Project Cancelled SIG Secretary, specialising in post war British RN warships, RN and RAF aircraft projects. Also USN and Russian warships

I reckon the plural of Argosy would be Argos, eg the Argos are coming, but I bow to any classics scholars amongst us  :rolleyes:

How about an Odyssey?

But given the dumbing down of the language, shouldn't that be "Argo" with a silent 'S', per the movie?  :rolleyes:

;D

Or what about Argolots, as opposed to Argonaughts (sic)?

Be great for a collective noun  :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

May I suggest "A TRUNDLE of Argosies"   or, if you wish, "Argosae"  (I think)

The Argo was the ship of Jason and the Argonauts (built by Argus), which is not the same as the city
of Argos and different again from the English argosy which means a large ship and apparently comes
from the old Italian Ragusea; a vessel of Ragusa. (OED)

Plural is argosies according to the the OED.

;D

Would make a great kitbash with the C-54's wings and vertical tail.

It's a city?  :o

I know their shops are large but I didn't think they were THAT large!
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! :)

We now how to pluralize Argosy.

But am I going to get a kit report?  :unsure:

To be clear otherwise things could get very complicated - whenever do they do that on this site ? :rolleyes:

Argos is a city in Greece and it's also a Catalogue Store in the U.K. Just in case some elsewhere in the world don't know that

They must have had a few pints that night to get from Ragusa (which I've been to) to Argosy  :drink:

They dropped  their R's,  in a manner of speaking.  Ragusa -> agusea -> argosy.    I suppose it's possible.

Or, as seems likely from the general opinion of their products, "An Exercise In Frustration"...  ;D
