Lil Dipper looks more like a Grumman Goose no ?

I know A-Model were doing Canadair CL-215s in 144th scale. Never seen one tho.

Yep, looks a lot smaller than it seemed on a clip from the film. Don't know if a kit is planned but there is also a C-119 in the film.
One of the Amodel kits is in The Expendables 2 markings, think it was a repainted Turkish one.

The C-119 is called Cabbie.

I've seen a pre assembled "playset" version which looks to be 1/100 or thereabouts (it's definitely smaller than the Italeri/Testors 1/72).

- 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.

I can see the point of adding a nav and a bomb aimer with all the extras stuffed in there, but would it still count as a single seater? :o
What if... I had a brain?

ROTFL!  ;D

Send them a review  :lol:
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! :)

Excellent - nailed it!!!

I wonder how long they'll get away with sporting the Disney logo...

Would be marching to the beat of his own drum, if he didn't detest marching to any drumbeat at all so much.

Of course its still considered a single seater - behold, the Martin Baker Mk53R Ejector Sofa...
