The Coronation Street Group Build

[Radish]

OK, the "Mavis" is a well-known flying boat.

Use either scratch-built or modified, or simple license built other stuff to create:

"Ken"

"Diedre"

"Tracey"

"Gail"

"Rosy"

etc..

What d'ya think?  

[Captain Canada]

Righteous !

Maybe I'll build a 'Candeece', with a big gaping bomb bay, that the enemy seem to sneek in and out of with no problem at all !

Or a lumbering 4-engined Schmichael........or an early jet prototype with an oversized nose intake called the 'Cilla'

Geez....this could go on and on...I gotta stop watching so much Corrie !

 

[Radish]

"Kevin"...underpowered, small and always looks grubby  

[SimonR]

Todd Grimshaw on the Street used to be a modeller when he wasn't having his back door kicked in by Karl the hunky male nurse. Once on the programme he made a 1/48 Spit. TRUE!

[Radish]

Grimshaw...Grimshaw....

"Eileen"...large bloater of a flying boat with stubby wings?

"Ken"....something small, old, boring, grey but with a loud engine??

"Norris"...obviously a tubby PR type nosing into everything.

[K5054NZ]

    And this GB starts when?

[Radish]

"Charlie"...Low level Strike

Must start thinking of types/aircraft to match the names.

"Liz"....aircraft that can operate very well on its back, inverted, and also one that's heavily weathered and well-used.

 

[cthulhu77]

you could always build a crashed "Diana" ...oooh, that was a bad one...

[Radish]

There's the "Mike", a transport, old battered, sponsored by a whiskey distillery and carrying a string of women B)

"Les"....a hopeless loser....ideas? the Swift??

 

[kurly]

the raquel, now thats going back a few years, sleek and well built but rather slow and noisey

[dragon]

What would a "Melvin", "Myron", or "Trixie" look like?  

[Captain Canada]

Rita-A Japanese flying boat that never gets off the water as the bottom ( which you can't see, as it's under water ) is too big !

Roy would have to be some kind of bumbling Steam Train that runs on bacon and beans 

[Rheged]

.....and Ina???   A great big bruiser of a heavy bomber,  covered by a (camouflage) net

[kitbasher]

Are we talking in some bizarre code chaps?  I may be a Mancunian (OK expat Southern Jessie Manc) but I've not a clue who you're referring to!

And Captain C - why is Corrie so hugely huge in Canada??

[Captain Canada]

I think it's because so many of us have family in the UK, and it's kind of a lifeline back to the Motherland. That and the show's longevity. I mean who doesn't recognize that theme song !
