Are you sure ;D
Not any more... lol

To be fair though, those are just a bunch of drawings not a photo of an actual flying airplane equivalent of a duckbill platypus. :D

It would be interesting to have the dates of those fascinating newspaper clippings if possible.

Oh that's right call me out on my guilty secret  lol
They're mainly 1932-36.with the exception of the German flappy winged liner that's 1949.

These old magazines are Pulp gold.

Cod' the first three are all real flying aircraft.(once you start looking you'll get hooked nearly half these strange craft made it to prototypes  including this one all be it a single seater ;))

Just trying to post an old image, just to remind myself how to do that.

This one and the preceding yellow plane are lightweight wooden models with hooks for hanging them, perhaps on a Christmas tree. Got them for only $2 each.

I think this is a better photo of the 1936 Keystone Loening floatplane than the one I posted months ago. A total of 3 of my planes are floatplanes, this one, the Texaco Grumman Goose, and the Fokker F-13 Beni. None are waterlined, however. Must admire Tin Shed Gamer's work on his waterlined model.

I'm glad you like it. But it's not something I'd recommend doing for a gaming model as it really limits It's use(no water no plane.)
Keep mulling over the idea of making a second version . For now this is the full league and thier transportation(if memory serves I did a thread on the league back in july(ish).)
I did a quick repaint on the yellow Texaco coin bank.Which is the sea plane I now use for land locked games.( it's on a base as the wheels reacted with the matt varnish and became  tacky ,and are still tacky now.)

Is that supposed to be Cutter's Goose? Do you have the characters to go with it?

 lol I like the supposed to be.
The answer is yes and no. It's quick repaint on the Ertl Texaco goose.(about an hour and half.)  It's not technically Cutters Goose. As I'd have painted the 'Cutters Goose' detail on the side. But the Cutters Goose was the only paint scheme I could think of at the time . Completely forgetting that theres a dirty great book on plane colour schemes sat on my shelves.
It's quite tempting to go back and put that detail on.
As I do have the Sally 4th Goose figures. The reason I haven't is the fear of it becoming a one trick pony.

That said I've literally in the last couple of day's bought the Wings of Texaco version( couldn't resist as it was only £10 in the Uk. ) Which has much better detail. Than the Ertl version. However the Ertl version has the coin slot hidden under a flip up cockpit canopy. Not in the top of the fuselage as in the case of the Wings of Texaco version.
So I'll have three seaplanes once it arrives. Which means I can either pimp the new one as Cutters Goose. Or just detail this one , and try a different paint scheme on the new one.
In truth I suspect it'll be down to a comparison and a the  level of enthusiasm I can must.  ::)

Since you've already painted that one up in Cutter's Goose colors, tin shed gamer, why not just paint on the logo? Not a bad tv series to reference in a Pulp game, with good characters.

Have you seen the photos recently posted by Bracewell & Duvalier of their Cutter's Goose & characters on the Pulp Alley facebook group? That's what prompted me to ask. Such a coincidence that you just painted yours up in the same colors.

Nope .I don't have Facebook.
This one's been painted since July. Having received instruction From my son the new one is more than likely to be used for the Tin Tin league.

Mark.
