Since there doesn't seem to be much movement in the remaining 19 aircraft, put me down for the last B-17 and the Beech C-45.

I've looked 'til my eyes burn for some of the other models and can't seem to find any. I found a B-25 and a C-46 (A bit more than I want to pay for it tho.)

If any of you know the whereabouts of some of the more "obscure" models, like the Stinson L-5, 105, and AT-19 or the or the BT-13, or PT19 let me know where they are and I'll probably go for a few of them.

Mudge-
An Eastern Bloc company called PAVLA made an L-5 kit in 1/72 several years ago. The kit was crude and required lots of fussy subassemblies (like a photo etched build it yourself centersection to support the wings.)
I'm sure you could find one on-line but as they say, 'it'll cost ya'

Here's the C-131 but I've been really slowed down on everything else by one very sick kitty that's taking a lot of the wind out of our sails.

Hey guys,

Put me down for the folded Bearcat and TBM. They sound like fun ones to create.

OK...I've searched 'til I'm bleary eyed and STILL can't find any BT-13 "Vibrators". May I suggest that since the dimensions of the BT-13 are the same as the AT-6, that we simply make a couple more AT-6s and use them.
If their identities are that critical, just take some "Wite-out" and print BT-13 on them. Waddayasay, HUH?

I don't mean to whine here BUT...I ordered a C-45 and a PT-19. They got here today. OMG now I know what vacuform means. I don't know if I can even build these. The paws on the end of my arms aren't made to do that kind of detail. Plus the fact that they're not as steady as they used to be.
We shall see. :shock:

Mudge the shaky :?
