Hi TP

Urk, not convinced I'd ever put that paper model together successfully! Very cool though. That Shapeways job looks good though. And there's a nice P-16 and...

If you do a search on 'Chaco' you can see a range of interwar aircraft in 1/144. Definitely wallet harming  . I've put a HP-50 up but it's not good enough to sell apart from being pricey  , I might have a go at a Fury though.

I could spend more money than exists, on stuff from Shapeways. Or Pendraken, or...

I'll definitely be getting a Battle though, I reckon!

Hello TP

A short clip from British Pathé showing an Avro Autogyro floatplane and it doesn't really need too much water to land:-

This clip of Army Manoeuvres 1935 shows an army autogyro around the 5.30 mark.

I will now move away from my autogyro fixation    . Maybe something to try on Shapeways  .

Cheers

If an about right sized model turns up in my local store for @£3 I'll get one - if not I doubt it

Some great footage on that newsreel, so thanks for sharing Grumpy. Very tempted to try and find something the right sort of size and look for some conversion work for my ABVW forces .
