quang Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 We still have to wait for sprue shots of the Roden but so far the IBG PZL is truly a watershed in plastic kit production with ICM Gladiator a close second. Now Dora Wings Dewoitine 500 looks like a new contender. Whew! My poor wallet R Palimaka, Rick Griewski and MikeMaben 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimRice Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I hope they include the McCauley metal propellor in addition to the wood prop shown. While wood is prolific today on restorations, metal props, both McCauley and Hamilton Standard ground adjustable props were widely used post-war for dusters due to much better efficiency. I much prefer the Mac over wood, even given the recurring Airworthiness Directive on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimRice Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 McCauley on dad’s duster. This plane has since been returned to stock Army and resides in Storm Lake Iowa. Ham Std on restoration dad and I built up. Jan_G, Daywalker, RLWP and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like, according to Hannant's website, that ICM is releasing four different boxings of the Stearman. I like it! - Dennis S.

Out2gtcha Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Dang......with the rep that the latest gen 1/32 ICM kits has, I might have to wait for their kit. An N2S would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Another interesting trainer; a candidate for the group build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertD Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I just ordered the Roden kit and can't wait. It looks pretty decent. Maybe a bit of wire here and there, some seatbelts and some Instrument decals would be about all it needs. I've been wanting one of these ever since I got to go on an aerobatic flight in one back in the 80's. Hammerheads were a blast. Anybody get their hands on one yet?
