My stash just grew again (2014)

[Spey_Phantom]

picked up a Revell 1/72 DHC-6 Twin Otter this morning  
i like it that they included the extended nose, ski's and floats 

[Dizzyfugu]

Yes, it's the Matchbox kit - but Revell did not do a good job at promoting the optional parts!

Got a bunch of those in my stash (Revells and Matchbox boxings), the turrets are not very good ---

The Postman brought two very different flying boats today, both 1/72:
Airfix Grumman Widgeon/Gosling
Revell BV222 "Wiking"

The Widgeon could almost be a lifeboat/tender for the BV222

[PR19_Kit]

The Widgeon really needs stronger main landing gear legs, they bend badly post-build, but I'm not sure that SMC or anyone does white metal ones.

I've built two of them in my time but while it's a lovely looking aircraft having the wheels at funny angles detracts from things somewhat.

Don't you get the -5J and the prop driven -5  in the same box? Mine was like that.

[deathjester]

No, just the one.  But the 5J can take jet or prop engines according to what I've read.
BTW, could you not use wire to make the Widgeon u/c?

The prop version comes with optional length wings.  Mine's an LS kit so is yours a different manufacturer?

I guess wire would be an option for the Widgeon main gear, it's a tad small though so could be fiddly.

Yep! long wings are the prop driven, short wings the jet powered


another of my projects I really should finish
