Excellent idea Daren. What about an A6 Intruder from Flight of the Intruder.

Very good. I'm building the Battle of Britain film aircraft in 1/48th.
So many models, so little time.

Thanks, celt.

I've just thought of another avenue to go down..... TV shows!

I have on DVD:

Piece of Cake (Spitfires and Buchons)
A Perfect Hero (Spitfires and Buchon)
Baa Baa Black Sheep (P-40, F4U Corsairs, T-6 Zeros)

I'm gonna need more shelves!

That is an excellent movie inspired DD Daz and great work with that classic Matchbox P-40.

I have, and I do own it on DVD as well.





In all honesty, I prefer Pearl Harbor! :shock:

In fact, despite the huge probability that the purists will scoff, I prefer this version of von Richthofen's story:

It's even less accurate than the more recent version (MvR flying Fokker D.VIIs, for instance!) but at the very least it uses real aerial hardware, and the flight scenes are great.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing
