Ideas about Structures!?

Ideas about Structures!?

---------------------------------

The recent announcement of the 1/150 Tomytec "modern housing" series has made me think about a pending project about resizing the Airfix 1/76 Control Tower.

http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/sutra61850.php

.

Is it only my imaginiations of does the Tomytec House "D" have some potential as an Airfield control tower?

.

Failing that, the Airfix 1/76 Control Tower is essentially a "flat packed kit". So it should be fairly easy to pop it upon a scanner or photo copier and reduce it in size for 1/144?

Some further work would need to be done to rebuild some features from scratch, but use of a good qaulity card or printiable plasticard should make this an interesting adventure!?

.

if you model in scales other than 1/144 you might like to check out the flightpath website

www.djparkins.clara.net/fltpath/fp72_wwii_airfield_acc.htm

.

If you are lucky enough to live in Japan, you can of course just order one from

Maquettes d'avions au 1/144e en white métal

(1/144 Aircraft Models in White Metal!)

.

A fantastic range of aircraft, either in kit form or ready assmebled!

A wide period covered, although specialising in French Protoypes of the 1950s-1960!

Many of these will be unkown those expect the real "x-planes" or French aviation aficionado.

Note: I Think these should be treated in a similar fashion to resin kist, and some skill maybe required to reproduce similar effects!! (or bite the bullet and purchase and assembled and painted model!?)

.

the futuristic looking aircraft (leduc 022) at the top is actually from 1956!!!

c'est bon, tres bon!

.

also note, that F-RSIN are to produce a combination SE-161 "Languedoc" + Leduc 010 as resin kit in the near future, as was displayed at the IMPS UK 2007 show at Telford,UK.

based upon the following carrier

1/144 21st Century Toys - Dogfight Sets!

----------------------------------------

Another set of WWII planes from 21st Century, Dogfight Series!.

Ok, I think we all knowo that there wouldnt have been much of a dogfigh with the unarmed PRU (Photo Reconnaissance Unit) Spifire?

interestingly this PRU Spitfire is shown on an IPMS Stockholm article, refering to Volumes 5 and 16 of the Wings of Fame.

.

http://ipmsstockholm.org/magazine/2003/11/stuff_eng_hrubisko_spitfire.htm

http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/mags/uk/wings_of_fame.htm

.

So i figure someone can probably tell more about this?

.

the only sad thing is the poor quality of this model? - I am not sure if it is because the original spitfire is stunningly streamlined and beautiful, or whether the pink paint scheme is unforgiving?

.

maybe its one of those which look better in the plastic compared to the photo?

.

.

A final word of thanks to "combi" who provided the photos!
