OTDAEABT 2- which kit?

**cardmodeler** · #1 02-23-2009, 09:29 PM

I recently received these two kits and would like to perhaps build one for the contest, but can't decide which one.

I don't even know what plane the red and white one is, would have to do some research on that one, but I liked the look of it...

Totally the Corsair!
We already discussed in another thread the Japanese have an advantage in our contest and we need to even it up

RWD-13 - first flown in 1936.

Charlie

Polish pre-1939 tourist airplane RWD-13.

Dang. Charlie bit me

Thanks, ya'll...something like a Polish Cub, I guess.

Have a look at the kits before you decide. I suspect the RWD may be a better model, although the US is losing the war in the Pacific in this contest!

Is that kit #1?????

If so, that would be the ultimate choice. =)

I don't know what that 1 is... but it says 1983.
Maly has been around from the 50's

Edit:
Oh wait, 1 refers to January (which is Styczen)
You can see they label them with month like that

It's the first model release of 1983. the SU-100 model under construction here is 10/1983.

I suspect Chris is right. The Corsair has no cockpit interior, and is another Bohdan Wasiak design. The RWD-13 has a rudimentary interior, is 1/25th scale rather than 1/33 (I suspect similar model size, just a smaller subject plane) - and is not a Bohdan.
That being said, I'd vote Corsair too :D
