That sounds like an excellent choice, look forward to seeing itChuck Finley wrote:Looking at my stash, how about a White Box Monogram Grumman Albatross in Coast Guard markings? It has the original cellophane wrapping (like a Christmas gift) and after 40 years, it deserves to be built.
40 years ago saw the last Ed Sullivan show, and Intel launched the first microprocessor. Other things happened too...

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

I have picked a 1/72 Revell PBY-5A as my victim.

I have an Arado 196 by Revell on standby. It looks a bit rough but should be OK.

Certainly small in 1/72 (that's a CD as the base!). But 1/48 and 1/32 scales are around too.Markh_75 wrote:Lol, I’m not sure I could do a plane that small! :-)
That's the A-model kit.
