Cargo Haulers GB (Round 2) *** Complete/Archived ***

[Old_Tonto]

Thought I had already put my name in for this, I'm in with some down to earth transport

Good man

[JohnRatzenberger]

I have 3 ground, 2 air, and 1 sea prospects, all interesting and in a wide variety of media ... difficult choices ...

I just got in the new Handley Page H.P.54 Harrow by Valom in 1/72 scale. It was one of the aircraft designed to fufill the role of bomber and transport. Considering that it was mostly used as a transport, would it be allowed?

I wish you hadn't mentioned the Harrow; I'm going to have to get one now!
What's it look like quality wise?

To quote Bugs Bunny: "Aint I a stinker?"

That said, the kit is not bad. It isn't up to the new Special Hobby standards. However, it is the only plastic Harrow on the market unless you want to build the Vac kit. It's a Valom kit. There's some work involved nut the end product is worth it. I would recommend some aftermarket Lewis machine guns though.

On a side note, have you gotten one of these?

[iggie]

Yep; you're not going to get me with that one!

[JohnRatzenberger]

I now have all my prospective kits on hand, now comes the decision-making effort.

Do em all jRatz. You know you want to.

The Harrow looks like a very bold choice Chuck, go for it.

[Old_Tonto]

Just a nudge about this GB. It starts in one month so it is time to get your kit choice sorted.

I'm still up for this, even though it's a hectic GB time. I'll be building a Hansa League cog, hopefully with a crew, if I can source one for a reasonable amount of groats.

In resin there is the Commander's Models 1/700 kit and I think there is another by them in 1/350 - check E-bay.
In card there is one, I forget scale, by Bryan Tan, rocketmantan.deviantart.com, that comes with a dock facility.
