Any woman that carries a broom-handled Mauser is okay in my book.

Sweet miniature & plane.

Those look fantastic. Great work with the darker colors.

You all agree that that particular model must be based on Bess Armstrong as that flapper in "High Road to China"?

[former user]

she looks so authentic as if she had a counterpart in real life...
is that so?


amazing.....

What scale is the plane?

Artizan is quickly becoming one of my favorites in 28mm. Well done!

I'd love to see some more pics of that seaplane.


THANKS!

[Doomhippie]

Yes, some info on the plane, please! Been looking for something like that!

[Uncle Mike]

Nice stuff! Would also like to see more of the plane...especially the decal/markings.

[Plynkes]

While I too would like to see more of the plane, I'm more interested in finding out why she's called "naughty" Lola.

Looks like Fine Molds' 1/48 Curtiss R3C-0.  They also did the Savoia S.21 Seaplane in the same scale, both 'militarized' versions seen in the 'Porco Rosso' animated film.

Yes, I think those models are available in both 1:48 and 1:72 scale.


Thanks,

[Blackwolf]

The seaplane is 1/48 scale,painted to wargames standard.The markings painted freehand by me.

   Here's a better view

   

     I'm building the Savoia for Starkadder to presentation standard,here's the instrument panel,shame it will be lost in the cockpit,great kit's,thank's for the comments chaps.

  I believe the kit is still available,it is a great build ,good detail and fit's perfectly.The Savoia is good as well,with all sorts of detail .....engine,cockpit and gun bay.Enough for a good build,all without the etch etcetera that often becomes a pain.I have a Classic Airframes Curtiss as well (Lola's second 'plane) and I know as a limited run kit it will be a battle,fun ? Sure still a battle,tho' it is lovely 

   PS Doomhippie PM me I think we share common tastes in music

Excellent, what a fun looking plane for a pulp setting.

I have a Testors model of this plane. I wonder how different Fine Molds version is?
