Wait, I thought it was supposed to be a Hind! Pete, your build convinced me to pick one up even though I really don't build rotorcraft.

dutik Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Would be nice to have the KH kits back. I liked the Harvard/Texan very much. A real fun build, some minor alignment issues at the engine/cowling, but nothing to write home about. Have the F-5 in the stash, earmarked for the upcoming Aces GB. Looks buildable with some AM goodies (resin intake duct, 3D cockpit parts). Missed the Kingfisher...

If I ever get my bench and workroom set up and complete, this is on my shortlist for building. I picked up a couple. You example is will be my first based on aircraft at Malden AFB, Missouri in 1950. My dad was a civilian contract Anderson Air Activities Instructor Pilot for a bit over the winter. Once spring arrived, he went back to crop dusting. Seems a great many of the IPs there were cropdusters according to folks who trained there. ScottsGT and Bill Cross 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I built two T-6s as RAF Harvards. Yes there were the known issues (silly cowling arrangement, separate poorly fitting turtle deck, undercarriage width too narrow, wheels too thin, prop too long) but I like to think of myself as a modeller…..so I fix it! I’d like another T-6 to try to convert to a Harvard Mk 1 but it seems little chance at the moment. Out2gtcha and rafju 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY IVAN5 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 In a way I 'd like to see them come back, I would like to take a crack at their F-86D and T-28C. Their FJ-2 and FJ-3 [yeah, they were 1/48th along with F9F-8P] were pretty good . The rest ? well........................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjw Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 There are a few Kitty Hawk kits I'd buy if they reappeared. The Blackhawk in 1/35 and the F-86 in 1/32 would be starters for me. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Hong Models made a 1/35 ZSU-23 kit many years ago, which is one of the kits Zimi has for (re)release. I had never heard of the company before they released the kit, and hadn’t seen anything else from them after. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hong-model-h-5001-zsu-23-4m-m3--964550 LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceFuel Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I do hope before too long someone repops the Mirage 2000C and 2000D/N. Its frustrating that only at the very end did Kitty Hawk really take off Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
