Propeller planes to get the mind going...

Some nice aircraft there, that S-31 Kurowashi is my favourite from JSP.  It's one hell of a beast & is worthy of hitting plastic.
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.

I love those two pusher planes in the first image.   :wub: :wub: :wub:
Do they come in 1/72, and if so, where do I order them?

I made a start on this one:
If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

The ones right at the top are from the anime Sky Crawlers, and knowing the way the japanese model industry treats anime, they've almost certainly been kitted.
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

"the Grokhovsky G-38, a Soviet multi-role project, circa 1935. no photos seem to exist of the sole aeroplane that was built,"

Found here (along with most of the stuff in this thread so far :thumbsup:)

I've only been flogging material from xplanes on here for a couple of months now.  It's about time somebody else noticed.

This one has been on my to-do list for a while. Need to find an appropriate donor kit for the fuselage and I can get on with it. ;D
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<
