Santa's Sleigh falls under logistics, doesn't it?

ok, i havent been building a lot lately, but if ican, count me in 
now, what transport aircraft do i have, or what can be converted into a transport/cargo aircraft...

727-100C Combi


Alaska Airlines 737-400C Combi


NATO 757-200 Combi


A300C4-620 Combi, the large fwd. cargo hatch is just barely visible between the two doors.

The sole A310-203C

Not to mention many DC8,  9, 10 and MD 11 cargo variants.

Here's a daft thought, a Concorde Combi.

Better still, a Conroy Concorde conversion anyone?

I hate to be boring with so much scope to work woth but most likely an flying-thingy entry from me. 

Currently eyeing the Italeri Osprey I recently picked up as a RN COD.

But then again there's also an ESCI F-27 in the stash that would make a lovely little trash hauler. 

Or maybe the ESCI S-3 in the stash needs to be an 80s COD machine aboard a Canadian or Australian "Commonwealth" class carrier...

Hmmm...this may take some thought.

Redesigned fuselage C-3 COD proposal.

Riotous laughter here    but I love the idea. 

I've surely got enough Concorde (5 at the last count....) and 1/144 airliner kits here to make a good stab at it too! Have I got enough putty in stock though?

Something that may be some interest or use for this GB...Sprue Brothers in the USA have this Italeri 1/32 Napoleonic Wars French Supply Wagon on their "Lightning Deals" at the moment for $12.  Lightning Deals usually stay up for a couple of days.

Thinking about something simple but I've not got many ideas that don't involve world domination.  What could I do with a Twin Otter?

Something Arctic on skis?

[Nick]

I'm thinking of a C-141B I bought many years ago the first time I went to Scots Nats in Perth. I know the kit is in the stash and I think it's 1/200.

Just need to find suitable markings. RAF would be a goodie.

That might be an idea, I've always liked the BAS liveried Twotters. As of yesterday I've got two opposite ideas, turn it back into a single, or make it into a quad otter.

A Quotter?  Why do I suddenly have the idea for a 70's sitcom, based around one, called Welcome Back Quotter?
