Thank you, Waddy and Carlos. I don't know of any nick name for the Boeing F4B-4, perhaps other members do. There are a few OBP Japanese WW2 floatplanes on my build list but they've got to wait.

No. 61 Curtiss SBC-4 Helldiver by Kampflieger
Still oldies and now it's the Curtiss SBC-4 Helldiver, a freebie from Kampflieger, originally at 1/100. It's a relatively simple build. And I group all the oldies I've done from a few posts back for a family pic. See if you can recognize them all!

Oooh, Nice photo of the line up. Shows the size differences as time moved
towards wartime aircraft designs. One probably would not have been able to see all of them together on the flight line. Jeff |

Thanks, Jeff. Yes, you can only see the line up in museums but not in the air.

Thanks to Don's find of the Catalina and Sunderland, I downloaded the Card models by Micromodels, printed them out and got this
I'll build them anyway and guess that it would to the scale of about 1/500. They are naval planes and fit into this category but not the scale. Maybe I'll post them on a separate thread when done. Papermate |

No.62 Cessna T50 Bobcat by LadNDad
No. 62 is LadNDad's Cessna T50 Bobcat, 1/48, available at Ecardmodels. It isn't an easy build, I can assure you of that. The history of this rare aircraft is given on the instruction sheet as follows (with slight modifications)-
This aircraft first flew in 1939 as a civil transport and was adapted to a trainer in 1940, and was classed as AT17; a number of them were built for the USA and Canada. The Cessa twin (Bobcat) was also produced as a light personal transport to carry four passengers and was classed as the C78. The Bobcat was used extensively as a light transport, communications and liaison aircraft and was flown by the US Navy as the JRC-1. After 1949, surplus aircraft went to civilian usage. Those of a certain generation may remember the Bobcat starring in the early television program "Sky King". Papermate |

Did I say that I was on holiday in Canada for one and a half months? To be honest, I didn't stop papermodelling while I was there and actually did big scale planes by poster-printing one original page to four and used the crudest of all tools - just scissors and those dollar-shop cutters and school glue that you find at Staples. Sorry, no colour printer, my brother said, and thus B&W laster printer. Pictures just came back from my brother (Toronto) and cousin (Vancouver) and here they are - the B-26 Marauder by Chris and P-38 by OBP.

Papermate,
You wrote that you enlarged the normal one page onto four pages. It looks like 1/32 or 1/33 scale from the photo of the P-38? Or are they bigger. I believe that Chris's B-26 starts as 1/60. Jeff |
