Iain 12,342 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Now that's something a bit different! Looks like a great subject and patterns look very good... Iain Anthony in NZ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Kagemusha 8,354 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 It's very agricultural, might get one myself. Link to post Share on other sites
Alburymodeler 641 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Nice looking model. But I think in real life we now need to go to insect populating sprayers. There are almost no insects around here anymore, and the birds are suffering, and up the food chain. Kagemusha and Christoffer Lindelav 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Out2gtcha 33,233 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Super cool! I do really like these off-beat type of air frames. I think the next unusual subject would be PERFECT for Infinity Models........................A PZL-104 Wilga! Or even better, a PZL-2000! firefly7, Jack, Landrotten Highlander and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Although it would take some substantial modification. Fortunately after the total crash of Draco back in Sept of last year, Mike Patey will be re-building Draco, bigger and badder than ever.

Do you think it was the recent spate of brush fires killing off a lot of the non-flyers or has the bug population been having ongoing issues? I ask out of curiosity as a science teacher. At any rate, although I likely would not buy any of these as they are outside my focus, they are neat airframes and just as deserving of a kit as any other plane. Speaking of bugs the PZL's look like they have bug legs. Edited March 9 by CATCplSlade Link to post Share on other sites
