By the way, for those who don't already know, Special Hobby are discontinuing the Azur and MPM brands, and are selling off all the kits in those boxings at a SERIOUS discount at the moment. There's also a lot of CMK bits in the sale too, and P&P from the Czech Republic, at lest to the UK, is reasonable. Ends March 1st:

Well, the curse of the rare/vac-form kit has struck again. Shortly after I've paid more than I usually would for a Huma Do.27, Special Hobby have announced a kit of it:

This has GOT to be a favorite for all sorts of bush plane and COIN-type scenrios... :wub: :thumbsup:

The Do 29 would make a nice subject for a kit too.

- 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.

Now that is an aesthetically-pleasing aircraft.  You could make a start on modelling it by using an engine nacelle from a Pucara or a conversion for Airfix's Jetstream.  I'd been thinking of using something along the lines of an Allison 250 similar to the installation someone did in a Great Lakes aerobatic aircraft.

That is nice, looks like a smaller Turbo-Porter.

One like the idea of doing is the Rover engined Turbo Chipmunk, but with the Canadian bubble canopy for a more modern look, maybe with retractable gear.  Must pick up an AZ Model kit.
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.

Ooooh, that Sunderland V is tempting!

A friend of mine's Dad flew them out of Changi in Singapore and he waxes lyrical about them every time I see him. For some reason that didn't appear on my Special Hobby newsletter email the other day......
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! :)

Regards

It is isn't it. I see it will be a post War version in what will presumably be the first boxing.

My Dad had a load of parts in our cellar which came from Sunderlands (mostly radios). He got hold of them when they were breaking up the Sunderlands for scrap in Poole Harbour, they were pulled up on a ramp in the backwaters of the harbor, not far from the Navy base there at Sandford. Some of the stuff he got was wiring from the aircraft, boxes of it. A few years ago before he died, he donated all of it back to one of the RAF museums, apparently the wiring was like gold dust to them.
