Fanes Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 On 11/16/2019 at 12:10 PM, nmayhew said: i'm not sure if it's really what you 'do' at Silverwings, but I have always had a soft spot for some of the German reconnaissance planes and also German seaplanes I made as a boy from the likes of Matchbox the seaplanes would all probably be huge in 1/32, but there is certainly lots of variety there the reconnaissance planes might work though? German = naturally sells as people like the bad guys (for whatever reason, and no wish to discuss why etc) quirky = no-one else is going to do one not too big = cost kept within reason not a biplane = because everyone apart from WNW devotees hates rigging (joke) i am normally a boring Me109, Fw190 guy, but I would buy one of these in 1/32 in a heartbeat, and would put down a deposit if needed A recon plane? - count me in!

LSP_Ray Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 What I would really like to see is more Soviet and Japanese stuff: Pe-2 (maybe too large and costly in resin?) Or Su-2: Or what about a Pete? I would think that would be right in the Silver Wings wheelhouse, if they thought it would sell enough : Out2gtcha and Troy Molitor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Agreed Richard; I think Blackburn's lead designer must have had cross-eyes given some of their horrendous designs in that era! Not even beautiful ugly, just plain UGLY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Nooo... I think the word you must be looking for is 'characterful'? I'd love something like a Blackburn Blackburn in kit form. Even better, a Blackburn Baffin - my grandfather used to fly those with 812 Sqn in the Med (HMS Glorious and Hal Far): Iain Jan_G, RLWP, MikeC and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Characterful cannot be denied Iain! I'll bet with some of them it applied to their flying "characteristics" too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
