Annother airliner kit we need.

I agree. The old Frog F VII is a nice model but long OOP. I'd add a new 247 to the list.

 

Williams Bros is back in business, and repopping a few of their old kits.  I think we do all need to contact them to urge repop of the 247. It was not bad for a WB kit.

If I were brave I'd try to build the old Monogram 1/77th scale ford tri-motor again.  I tried and failed about ten years ago.  The wings of the sample I had were terribly warped and the corrugation at the wing leading edge didn't align well.

I wonder if I just got a bad kit or anyone's had better luck with it?

 

I don't thing the engines on that kit are that great, so I would like to use resin engines, but the difference in scale does not look right.  It is a fine kit if you use the kite engines.  Could use a bit sharper molding on small detail, though.  At least the struts hold the nacelles in the right position, which the Airfix kit does not.
