Would be a great addition to the Carrier GB Brooks.

This finally arrived from Shanghai. I ordered it the same time I ordered the Bearcat

Looking at the box art I'm a little disappointed. You can see that the canopy doesn't fit properly but that's easily fixed.

I think I'm going to try and do the second scheme (yellow one)

Sounds good. Must have been a bit hairy landing one of those on a carrier, from what I've read!

Flew in them many times off the Essex. I'm told landing on a carrier is like a controlled crash.

3 on the bench
16 in the stash

Just purchased on eBay the following: Lockheed P-38J, Douglas AD-5, Grumman F3F-2, F6F-3 and TBF, Japanese A6M2-N "Rufe", Curtiss P-40, Seversky P-35, North American T-28D "Trojan", DHC-1 "Chipmunk, Cessna O-1E "Bird Dog", Ju 87b "Stuka" and a Failchild "24".

All are rubber powered balsa/tissue flying models. Looks like I'm set for a couple of years.

Good stuff Charles, and particularly looking forward to seeing the Chipmunk take shape - I used to get to fly one now and then, many years ago.

My newest addition to the stash. Got this because a certain friend of mine flew them while in the Navy and would like to build it and surprise him with it. I kinda owe him since I get to fly from time to time.

Want one too! For a USS Yorktown bird!

When I saw that it was available, I was unable to resist for long, so I just sent to Silver Wings my order for this kit:

i will let you know more when I will receive it.

Nice one Alberto. Looking forward to see what you do with it.

 

[Airframes]

Me too. I've seen the aircraft shown on the box, at the RAF Museum - it's the one which force-landed at Sheerness - or Orford Point, somewhere like that!

 

[A4K]

Nice score there!

 

[rochie]

[Wurger]

Nice hauls here guys.

 

[Wayne Little]

Yep, saw the one in the Flygvapnet museum in Linköping. Was never fussed seeing pictures, but she's very interesting 'in the flesh'.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I have always liked that craft. One of these days I will build one. Excellent haul Alberto!

 

[ellis995]

Nice one Keith!

 

[dirkpitt289]

Went to the LHS for some paint and walked out with this...

 

[Airframes]

I seem to get the same sort of paint too - the type that comes in a box, with lots of plastic parts. It's a disease I tells ya!
