Out2gtcha Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 And Roden already did the AU-23 in 1/48, so they already have the data. Good point! Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Does the kit come with spinners for the front/rear? It does not, prop bosses only. They will have to be scratch built. Doesn't seem too hard though. Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafju Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Im SERIOUSLY hoping they tackle a 1/32nd Fairchild AU-23 Peacemaker! Ive always had a love for the Pilatus Porter and this would be a great looking kit in 32nd:Yesss! an other dream and if this outstanding bird should be then declined into a civilian PC-6 Turbo Porter! as they do in 1/48th scale... What a winner! Edited December 27, 2017 by rafju Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydesign Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Found my 1/32 Roden Cessna O-2 kit under the Christmas tree... The parts in my kit were OK, no warp, a bit flash and pretty clear unbroken transparant parts. The transparant parts I packed immediately in a plastic bag. I recommend when buying the kit in your local hobby shop to check first up front if anything is broken. The kit decals are, as some others suggested before, better replaced with after market ones, we will wait and see what comes. Today, I asked my modelling friend Cees if he had any additional O-2 walk around photos..... Yes he had and forwarded them immediately! So I have posted many additional O-2 walk around photos as well as other useful reference drawings for us large scale modellers on the IPMS NL site here: https://www.ipms.nl/walkarounds/walkaround-vliegtuigen-props/2182-walkaround-cessna-o-2 Looking at those, also I think some additional raised rivets on the kit may be appropriate e.g. around doors etc (but need further researching that).

GMK Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Is the O-2 (as kitted) operates by the Rhodesian Air Force? Can't find much on it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Southern Bandit Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 As regards my kit, its still not arrived yet, its from the Ukrainian dealer some have mentioned with high excellent feedback, earliest delivery I was given was before Christmas, Latest the 26th Dec ... and of course that was all still at close down here postage wise, did get a tracking UK number, it says error or something, but still not unusual when expecting kits or parcels from outside the country.I'll leave it a week and chase it up, am not bothered about the delivery time really, it was dirt cheap postage and packing and I never expected next day delivery, just keen to see mine arrive and hope it has none of the badly warped fuselage issues that I read about ... I know I'll need an AM decal sheet too at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerobat Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 As regards my kit, its still not arrived yet, its from the Ukrainian dealer some have mentioned with high excellent feedback, earliest delivery I was given was before Christmas, Latest the 26th Dec I'm in the same boat with a Ukranian seller. Excellent service in the past, but package may have been caught up in the Christmas rush. Willing to wait patiently here in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrfan Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Is the O-2 (as kitted) operates by the Rhodesian Air Force? Can't find much on it online. The Rhodesia Air Force operated Rheims Cessna as the Lynx. To convert to a Lynx requires some but not drastic changes. I'm currently away travelling so away from my reference material but off the top of my head: - add STOL kit = turned down wing ends and fence on top of wings - additional fillet to base of vertical stabilised (fin) - close off cockpit top windows - change entry door and windows - replace pilots window with bubble window - add SAM shrouds to exhausts - add two over wing 7.62mm machine gun pods - fit appropriate Rhodesian under wing stores GMK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, new year postal holidays here too now, an awkward time to buy or sell, especially overseas, kit will arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hi guys, I haven't really had a look around for this kit - but, where could a guy find this kit for sale in Europe?? Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMK Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Thanks for the notes of the Rhodesian Lynx. A conversion seems doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
