What in the world...

It baffles me how paper model kits ever run out of stock.

They probably source their paper from Wernham Hogg or maybe Dunder Miflin.

If you have an hour or two to spare this thread would be a great starter for some very unique aircraft.

The only stipulations being something I can scale compress (if necessary) down to 12-13 inch wingspan.Also on skids/skis .
So as you can see its got all the hallmarks of a cunning plan.with no rudder.

Mark,  Not sure if you are still pondering a ski-plane.... Is this what you have in mind?  I took a picture of this beauty at the Smithsonian air/space museum with some intention of building a model of it - love the skis!

Traversing the Antarctic in a single engine aircraft? Mad or stupid or possibly both. There’s a diecast model of the standard version of that Northrop Gamma as well as a rather obscure kit in 1/48

I think 'Carlos M' is right. Confirmed the order then a couple off hours later refunded the money.Hay Ho. ::)
So I'll more than likely order direct(cheers Michi.)

It's an interesting site Tony thought I suspect its easier to navigate as a member.

JT,
I like the look of it (I wonder if its in the Wings of Texaco range,As it appears it was sponsored by them.)
My only reservation is I'm not sure how well it'd translate,as I opted for a shabby feel for Pulp,rather than a Shiny one.

Here's three possible planes.
Fokker Universal - a period transport plane and bush plane.As I've already a tri motor it'd be quite a simple build ,and would fit quite nicely.
Junkers F13 - again very similar construction to a tri motor( in a scratch building context).
Spad S A 4. Not a lot to say other than its a Heath Robinson of a plane,and it'd fit in with another project.

Mark.

I looked up the Junkers F13 on Wikipedia, as it seems a good size for a project. They have a set of drawings of the plane:

Nice link. Also note there is a photo of my Franklin Mint version further back in this thread.

 ;) it was your Franklin mint version that started me off.

It's available in 1/50 for about €8 .

Whilst looking at card kits, I came across this.
