New Planes...
Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2008 7:08 am
I went a building and buying spree during the last week. I built a few models as shown below. The B17G and Hurricane are 1:48. The B17 is a Monogram kit. It currently has "peg legs" as one of the struts was missing from the kit. Monogram is mailing the lost part. The Hurricane is a Pegesus kit. It is actually a snap-together kit I found for $6. It is simple and heavy and it goes great with the 1:48 21st Century planes.
This plane is a Westland Lysander kit from Revell. Pardon the fish line as I already had it hanging. It is 1:32 scale...
Finally, I picked up a few prebuilt models, all 1:48. The PBY is a Franklin Mint plane I recieved as a gift. It weighs a ton. The F3F is a Hobby Master model and very nice. The P36 Hawk is a Carousel Model and very nice too. Not much in the way of working features though.
