    Decision......??????

    Hi All,

    I'm just coming to the end of the Fairey Swordfish and I can't decide what to do next???

    It's either the 1/48 Kingfisher.



    or

    The 1/48 Trumpeter JF-17 Thunder / FC1 Fierce Tiger.



    I guess a decision over the weekend.

    I would do the Kingfisher and stay with the nautical theme for a bit.

                The kingfisher looks appealing to me also.

                    OK,

                    Well I think I'll go with the Kingfisher OS2 ............. I've seen loads of photos of various colour schemes on this plane. Mostly US Navy Recon and SAR. But the Kingfisher was in Service with NZ, Australia, Netherlands, Chile, Royal Navy and then I came across this.



                    The USSR had two during WWII on Lend Lease. I believe this picture is of a 1944 Northern Fleet aircraft. I've not seen a photo of one modelled before (maybe someone knows different). So a bit more research and then I think I'll "Crack-On".

                    Thanks for your input people.

                      Yeah, a Russian Kingfisher, do it Peter, it's got my vote.

                        Nice scheme, it will be unique. As an aside, the RNZAF never operated the Kingfisher.

                            No worries Peter. Maybe you read Netherlands? Either way it will look stunning in that Russian scheme, look forward to seeing it evolve.
