My stash just grew again (2013)

Well, since you mention it I've had a look at the kit and you could put in a stretch fairly easily, putting a plug in to the rear of the canopy where there's still a little bit of constant section. Finding a canopy to fit would be the biggest obstacle. I'm not likely to do it, but I'd like to see you do it!

Hmm, might just take you up on that...!!

From ModelZone Croydon 1/72 Italeri MH-47E SOA Chinook.
I've seen pictures of early Chinooks with wings the BV-347 comes to mind, although I could use the wing stubs from an Airfix Rotordyne kit instead.

You'd have to use a new wing - it was 25% bigger on the VG version...

Mossie · February 19, 2013, 08:56:12 AM

Yes, I'd factored that in. I've blown some plans up today and I'll offer the kit up to them to see just how much effort is required (plenty).

Good luck with that one. You'll need it. Makes early MPM and Pegasus look like Tamiya and Hasegawa.

Martin H · February 22, 2013, 02:19:37 PM

wont be the first one ive built, in a way. I had a resin clone of the kit that I picked up at the Northern show many moons ago. That built up quite well. This one looks like it will have less cleaning up to do before I bolt it togeather

The Wooksta! · February 22, 2013, 04:01:01 PM

I had one. I think Chris (Narses2) purchased it in a clear out some years back.

Yup, still in the stash. I've always liked some of these early naval jets

Bought 2 tins of paint. Well, didn't even buy them as my card wasn't working. So he let me take them and pay later...another bonus to shopping at your LHS !

Still haven't purchased any plastic tho, been well over a month now. How crazy is that ? Crazy.....

Bumper weekend so far and I've not even been to Crewe Militare yet!

From Pyromanic's sale:

Hasegawa 1/72nd Mitsubishi Mu-2S

From a little bric-a-brac and collectables shop run by two modellers, opposite the charity shop where I dropped a load of stuff off this morning:

Supermodel 1/72nd Blohm und Voss BV-138 "flying clog"
Supermodel 1/72nd C.R.D.A. Cant Z 1007bis Alcione (the best-looking of the 3-engined bombers)
Hasegawa 1/72nd Mitsubishi G4M1 Betty with Okha suicide plane
LS 1/72nd Mitsubishi KI-46 Dinah Type 100-3 (the streamlined nose type)

£50 the lot! (not bad considering that Hase want £40-odd for a new "Betty" alone...)
