It'd be a damn shame to break up the set...

Presenting The Great Kate!!!



















That smirk is enough to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained glass window...

Any man not melted by her smouldering beauty...

These appear to be from 1933's Christopher Strong, her 2nd film appearance.

Pulpy enough for everyone?

Thoughts?

[FramFramson]

The top 3 say they are "1/4 scale" 

[Prof. Dinglebat. Phd.]

The top 3 say they are "1/4 scale"  

That's an observation...   ....

Google= An architect's scale is a specialized ruler designed to facilitate the drafting and ... one-quarter-inch-to-the-foot (1/4"=1'-0") (1:48)/one-eighth-inch-to-the-foot.

Thoughts?

Are they 'Pulpy' ?
Would you buy them ? (At the right price)
How would you paint them up, standard or a civilian color scheme?  

[Prof. Dinglebat. Phd.]

you have an ace collection of old kits there.

Here is one from my photo collection that will appeal to you chaps

I'm scoping them at the moment,...your link sends me this message. Not sure if the problem is at my end?

Here's some more. Unfortunatly the last one is only 1/72 scale so too small for 28mm.

I still haven't received the OTHER kits I instructed you to send to me for proper disposal...

Please do the same, at once, with all of these others.  Do it.  Just do it. Do it NOW!!

Except the Texan & SNJ.   Those two are completely devoid of Pulpish goodness.

They are the same 'plane really.  The SNJ is a Navy AT-6 Texan, or RAF/RCAF Harvard.

Useful only if you're doing post-'45 bush wars, noirish, but past Pulp for purists.

The others are Pure Pulpy Goodness.
 
As far that 1/72nd Blackburn Shark goes, I'd buy it.  She was a HUGE kite!! 



I'd wager she scales very nicely with 28mm.
Of course she'll need a mod or two, since she can't really be a true Shark in our scale.
Leave off the cowling, drop back to a 1/48 2 blade wooden prop, modify the cockpit & glazing & you'll be aces!!

Thanks for showing off these.

I'll be checking my mail daily, don't disappoint eh?

Get ready to curse my name, because the only usable aircraft model I have at all is a Texan I picked up locally for $10 - useful for it's larger (i.e. team-sized) carrying capacity and it's similarity to a pulp-era Russian plane whose name escapes me at the moment.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

I KNOW they were born in '35, same vintage as the DC-3 & many, many others.
They made a blue gazillion of 'em, EVERYBODY, & his dog,  flew 'em.
Rugged, reliable & simple, easy to fly, and fight, a very versatile platform indeed.



The T-6 is the most efficient way know to man to convert 100 octane AvGas to noise, & fun.

To me there's nothing like 'em, never will be, & they look like, well, T-6s,
even when you convert 'em into any-damn-thing-you-want-with-a-big-round-engine-for-your-silly-movie.

Perhaps it's because I watched, and listened, to four of them die at the Cape May National Air Races.

Please forgive a hide-bound rascal who's just 'plane crazy.

If this (First pic) could be considered a Pulp movie,...you know,...good guy, (Action hero) bad guy,(Power corrupted Dictator with lot's of minions) Sound familiar? ...lot's of adventures in lot's of exotic destinations. Good guy saves the situation several times and wins the girl in the end,...so has all the ingredients....

BUT (Second Pic) this isn't what would be considered to be suitable for Pulp,...

Then we're all in the dog house...because,...

This (Third pic) is of course a scene from the movie.

But I guess there's exceptions to every rule.

Prof. I do like this one particularly, the box lid looks like a cover of a Pulp magazine! I would paint it just like that. I think really you need three of those painted up to make a Pulp Squadron.
