That DH60 floatplane sounds cool. Airfix Auster floats may work for that.

All the best

I think I´ll go for one of the very late Frog kits, that were issued only after Frog folded, under the Novo or Red Star banner.
But I won´t pick my victim yet, enugh time left to make up my mind!

I have a set of floats moulded in bright yellow plastic. I can't for the life of me remember where they came from, or if someone gifted them to me!

Those are probably from the Airfix Auster Antarctic kit.

Only one I can add to the list. Remus, I had a frog Grumman Wildcat packaged by Remus.
A nice kit it was too.

All the best

IIRC, I got all the Remus ex-Frog kits in my stash, sometimes I buy kits just because of the box art, even if that means, having a kit twice, or more than that, in the stash.
And Remus did some enticing box art (ok, they weren´t boxes, they were folded cartons, with a stapled sello bag inside).

Spawn list updated - don't want anyone to miss out on the GB due to confusion over box eligibility do we. :ha:
