The only injection two seaters I know of are the old M&E fuselage (separate tail fin) which is very thick, the Brigade one (intended for the Italeri IX but will take an Airfix IX wing) which is better but still thick and the abominably bad Lotnia kit of the Russian Spitfire UTI (it's an abysmal and very likely unbuildable copy of the Matchbox IX).

My birthday yesterday and for once I got kits.
The PDRV seaplane flotilla will be growing with Airfix Ar 196 & Swordfish (new mould - first "new" Airfix i've got my hands on.  i'm impressed) and I also got the Bandai 1/1000 Space Battleship Yamato (Mrs Z considered $400 for the 1/350 kit was a bit steep).

- 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.

Aha! - It sounds like the M&E one - sure it has no tail / rudder...

No tail fin?  Probably M&E.  I'd have to see it to be sure.  I have quite a few obtained over the last 2-3 years.

I've never seen an M&E one built up, although I was given one part started.  IIRC, it's geared to take the Matchbox IX wing but TBH, the plastic is soooooo thick, I think you'd get it to fit almost any wing with judicious surgery and sanding, although I'd go with an Airfix IX, because that gives you everything else.

Nice one - I'll see if I can find one, cheers!!

PR19_Kit

BIG bottle of Humbrol enamel thinners (Airbrushing gets through the small ones like water!) and a lovely 10 piece file set from my LHS (20 miles away....) I think they got the price wrong on the file set as the 10 piece, 6 piece and 3 piece sets were all the same price, £6.00.  :thumbsup: :cheers: :party:
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! :)

I mean the current ie 2009 tooling.  Not ye olde one, which is worthless.

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.

Had to take the wife to the Red Deer hospital for some tests yesterday, while kicking my heels I went to an LMS nearby.  I got an Airfix Chipmunk and an Italeri combo kit, Wessex UH.5 & Sea Harrier FRS.1 (Falklands), both on sale, Chipmunk C$6 and combo C$17.  Plus two rattle cans of Testors Gloss White ---
