No problem.  I've got plenty else to keep me busy.

....and Airfix have timed their Walrus to perfection...and in the RIGHT scale (bloody nitpickers!!).

What! They've released a 1/72 version?

Are pixel works OK for this GB (without plastic/resin/balsa build)?

I would imagine so Tophe. but I'll consult with my fellow mods for a ruling. Watch this space.

Unanimous "Yes", Tophe - & anyone else who wants to do any form of art, digital or otherwise.

I have it in mind to turn a fairly horrible Kora Be-4 into a Porco-Rosso support plane, however I'm making no guarantees that I'll find the time...

The model has horrible clear parts and the engine is a bit too 1940s for PR with it's long-chord NACA cowling, so the idea is to back-date it a bit with an open cockpit, small windscreens and an exposed engine. I did buy a resin M-62 with this is mind, but it looks lost on the huge engine nacelle. Hmm...

I am planning the forced marriage of a Duck and a Firefly which will be christened either Direfly or Firef**k depending on how many threatening messages I get from the mods...

Are you including alternative landing gear for this build?

I should prolly point out I mean Grumman and Fairey.  Not avian and insect.

I'll hunt you down and kill you if you don't call it a Firef**k.

Mods: your move...

Please explain your thinking on this before we can make a judgement.
