How big does that savoia marchetti come to in terms of actual measurements?


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

Well it would only take me to click the 'Buy It Now' on ebay if I wanted to own it. But having googled the model I have found that apparently (According to one builder the of the kit) it lacks in accuracy and there are better options. So I probably won't.

If the subject here is 'Only aircraft you own' then my view would be that it limits readers to what's available. Thanks to others here that have listed several from the manufacture's page (Thank's Snappy  ;) ) I have been more informed about the selections currently on the market. If I want measurements I usually google the model name and manufacture and take it from there.  ;)

Here's another I don't own..yet,..but will soon as it's a bid sale not a 'Buy It Now.'  ;)

I already mentioned that on page 2 of this thread...  :D
Of course I want to contribute my multi-purpose amphibious plane: Grumman J2F "Duck" in 1/48 scale by Czech manufacturer Classic Airframes: http://www.internetmodeler.com/2001/july/first-looks/ca_duck.htm

I chose that one, because it is still relatively small, can transport some passenger and luggage and can travel over land and sea alike. That makes it useful for so many nice and pulpy scenarios on remote islands where naked dinosaurs and carnivore Amazons (or was it vice versa?) prey on daring explorers or each other...

My youngest is in the middle of making that one.....quiet nice, clean mould, good detail on the outer skin, well worth having.  I am thinking of getting another for converting, the deep fuselage lends itself to many interesting ideas......and as a typical gamer they will only ever be ideas and will never see fruition.

........and of course it was in one of my favourite films, Murphy's War, starring Peter O'Toole.

Ordered a PT-20 two weeks ago, thanks to this thread ;)
But then I managed to crush one of those clear glass windows beneath my foot. AAAAAARGGGHHHH!
Why don't they do these things on a sprue??? Apparently it fell out of the box without me spotting it  :'(
