Plane hasn't been touched yet as I want to get some paint on the hanger. Still a bit of weathering to do but it's not far off.



The kit is Minicraft and the only decent thing about it is the decal sheet unfortunately. It'll be alright though  :)

cheers

If you are still looking for planes can I recommend these...



still need to finish mine...

or

The above was listed on Ebay as a Delta 777-200 .I took a bit of a punt on this one based on the fact that the description gave the dimensions as an 11 inch wingspan and 8 inch body. It looked like it would work for the period and fit with a 1/48 scale. Total price was £11 (inc postage) – not bad for a pre built model.

Heres a picture with 28mm minis

This looks really cool, looking forward to seeing it finished.

Ok, some suggestions please for generic South American style government troops and a colonel type cigar smoking character?

Surely you need this guy?

What's your issue with it? I have a Minicraft Cessna floatplane that's waiting to be built and it looks pretty good in the box. Simple design? Warped plastic?

There's a fair bit of flash (not a massive problem), no decent lugs for joining parts together and there is some warping which isn't insurmountable but just frustrating when I want to do a quick job but I'll have to spend a bit more time on it to get it to the state I want it (a bit anal in that regard).

What you really want is one of these:

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

According to the legend, Escobar put atop the entrance gate of his hacienda a replica of the plane he used to make his first drug run to the United States. It's a Piper PA 18-150 Super Cub.  

Still according to the legend, after that first successful drug run he said to his cousin and crime partner: "We're gonna need a bigger plane!"  That was in 1975 - the same year of the JAWS movie with that famous line...  :D

Hanger is pretty much done (apart from the growies outside). Not entirely happy with the rusting but it'll do for a quick gaming piece.

I am thinking this would work pretty damn well for some modern specter, or black ops games. Or some world war two on up air field battles.
