1/48 Scale multi-engined prop, Out of the Box:
Gold went to the Tamiya Beaufighter
Silver, a rather nice Do335, Tamiya I think. Paint is Pollyscale 81/82.
Same guy got third with his Hasegawa Hs129 with a rather nifty camo scheme.
Another Do335 in captured markings and the Lancaster did not place. No close-ups of the Lanc unfortunately.

Really loved all the birds in that category
The captured Do-335 is an interesting one

In that first pic, I thought that Vic and Bill had somehow managed to finish their current GB entries, and spirit them across the globe to Canada! Good stuff Andy.
Good selection.....Nice!

Andy, didn't realise you had started the thread, there are some great looking builds and I particularly like the Beau.
I can also confirm the Sweden was looking at possibly purchasing the TSR-2 but like Terry said, the government of the day murdered it. Like you I also like the fragmented camo which I would imagine is not easily accomplished.
In that last batch, the Digby an aircraft I'm not familiar with, certainly stands out.

Some good stuff there, and a nice change from the normal stuff we see all the time.

It's the Douglas B-18 built for the Canadians. When they purchased them the US had laws against flying the planes to Canada and the Canadians could not come over here and pick them up (IIRC Canada was at war but the US was not). What was done the planes were "coasted" across the boarder from either Montana or North Dakota on the ground into Canadian territory- true story!

Didn't know that David, thanks. Should look into that some more.
I'll be taking a bit of a hiatus on this thread guys as I'll be in Ontario or a week for the Hamilton Airshow and visiting family. Not taking the laptop with me so will resume when I get back next week.

Have a good trip Andy - and of course, get plenty of photos, especially of the Mossie!
