Thanks Vic, very nice indeed. Is it possibly too rich for wargame use when you add postage ?

I look forward to when British wargame manufactures will produce a few light liaison and bushwar strike aircraft.

I play the Pendraken Storch GR192 (very neat little model at £4) and a P& D Marsh Cessna - They fit nicely with BKC rules.

Hello

The website showed it was sending it post free and the cost was about $12.50 or about 10 quid, It's like anything else, it's all a matter of how important having the 'right' model is and how much you're willing to pay :). Shapeways have one for about 4 quid but then you have to add postage.

Still, seeing I use a silver painted Japanese bomber as a stand in for Amelia Earhart's Lockheed Model 10 Electra this means that I can't claim any laurels for historical accuracy  ;D ;D.
