That Walrus looks sweet.
So many possibilities with it.
I look forward to seeing it in action, like maybe carrying some Heros to a hidden rocket base?

Good point, but no rocket base yet,  :'( I'm painting miniatures at the moment but back to the rocket base soon! I've got something else to fly heroes into it though!

Yeah, well I guess I do have a minor obsession when it comes to Pulp style helicoptors...I have 17 or 18 to build.  I suppose that you could also say that about our little airforce for Pulp as well, we like to have a choice of planes so the girls and I have around 65 Pulp style aircraft, including this lovely little chap:

I just saw this listing for a Sack AS6 on EVIL BAY....nice price when you consider how hard it is to get this kit.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/201080324815?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_140wt_1362

Pete,

I don't think I'm ever going to catch you up on your collection! But thanks for the link, I do like the look of that kit.

I found this whilst searching the web, does anyone know if there's a 1/48 version?

Good My Lord,

               I doubt it.  I was unaware there'd been on in 72nd.  You may well find this kite is SO large it is useful for our purposes, better in fact than the Phipps' Ford TriMotor in 1/77th.   While visually too small, that Ford is the only one available, and, being high winged, not unappealing on the table.  I prefer the Stinson meself, demmed Fords are so...plebeian. Alas nobody models such a trimotor, in any scale.
Though there is the Revell Junkers Ju-52 in all its 1/4 scale corrugated goodness...
Somebody does 72nd Fokkers too, including a trimotor I believe.

Just be sure the Heyford's  human scale-able bits, ladders, doors & hatches look right-ish.  If they're  too obviously small use bigger propellers, or graft 1/48 radials to the existing nascelles, that'd change things up nicely.  The tyres and their spats are already huge, no worries there.  Use some Murch Pulp 28mm Lewis guns instead and Robert is your Mother's brother!
