Just a quick update and thank you to those of you who commented on my questions to do with my Hamilcar glider project. I've now had time to speak to various modelers of both military and aircraft codes. I was surprised to find out that the most interest was shown by military modellers and was welcomed as there are a lot of commercially available payloads such as the Teterach & Locust light tanks, the Universal Carrier and 6pdr, Morris C8 & 17pdr, Morris C9B Bofors and have also found a picture with loading trials of the Windsor Carrier & lastly the White Scout Car. So it ended up being a no brainer to go with 1/35 scale on this occasion. Although this will create a tug problem. I have built part of the rear fuselage and have created the front & rear wings plus the tail fin in outline profile using balsa wood but have not shaped them in section yet. Will post some pictures as it develops. Also it has been suggested that a cut down version for diorama display might be an idea consisting of nose & cockpit section with landing gear & partial wing section.

Good morning all. I am new to this page as I have only just been made aware of this site through a friend who sent me a link. I have been a military modeller since the mid 60's so have far more experience in this area, however one of my favourite areas is WW2 British Airborne equipment. I have never scratch built an aircraft but find that an exception needs to be made in this area as I think it unlikely that any major manufacturers will ever undertake this subject. I am also contemplating making this aircraft available to those who might be interested as I have made masters in the past for various resin manufacturers. As the Hamilcar would have to be made in 1/35 so that it would be compatible with existing kits which could be used as payloads I was wondering what the general feeling would be amongst 1/32 scale modellers. I recently purchased HK MODELS Lancaster with the intention of using it as a tug for a horsa only to find out that there is a Stirling out there which is my favorite aircraft. I need to look into that. Lastly can anyone tell me if there is a 1/32 Short Flying Boat available?
