Maybe Jenny will build a flying thingy

Well I may build a flying thingy after all . Here are the latest announcements from Masterbox

Aviation

1/35 Scale

- 3568 Horsa MK 1 Troop-carrying glider. Model figures of British paratroopers will be supplied with this set.

- 3583 Horsa MK 1 Troop-carrying glider. This model will be supplied with the figures of American paratroopers.

- 3584 Douglas C-47 Skytrain. This model will be supplied with the figures of US flight and maintenance personnel and US paratroopers.

- 3585 Douglas C-47. In British and Commonwealth service the C47 was called the Dakota. This model will be supplied with the figures of British flight and maintenance personnel and British paratroopers.

- 3587 German military cargo plane Junkers Ju-52. Affectionately called “Tante Ju” by the German troops. Also include in this set will be the figures of German flight and maintenance personnel and German paratroopers.

A Horsa would be cool

Hi All

Say it aint so Jenny..... Say it aint so.. resist the urge of the dark side lol..

In all seriousness, the gliders sound like a neat prospect.

Cheers, and happy modelling

Jenny
Are we talking about Masterbox? 1/35th Plastic kits? JU-52?
Sounds Bitch'n!
Panzer

Yeah Jenny!

Are they in 1/35th? and if so, when will they be released?

BTW, I should be up and running on email tomorrow evening!

A 1:35 C47 and Ju52?! You have any idea how big that would be!! The C47 had a 95.5 foot wingspan, if my math is right that would be a 3 foot wingspan. I'd eat it up!

KEWL! Welcome to the fold Jenny.

I suspect Jenny is either being blackmailed or abusing drugs.

Personally I'd choose a Skytrain or Dakota. The C-47 is a good looking gal. And that's never a bad thing.

Out of all this what I really want to see are the paras.I wonder if they will just be standing in line as in ready to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, or simply casting about in casual poses. Like they are waiting for the fog to lift or something.

Well Gary I think that the British paras may be the two sets out already , one already has a glider pilot .

They also have a US para set out as well . Maybe they will surprise us all and have all new sets but I reckon some other resin makers will bring out a heap of Paras. Imagine the after market etch that will come out ?

yepp! all 1/35 -> http://www.mbltd.info/proces.htm

The Ju-52 in 1/35 - an old dream comes true! That will be a diorama with 20 paras - the start to Eben Emael...

Than the flying thingys they are doing a "Scotland the Brave" with a bagpiper ! , I always wanted to do Lord Lovat and his piper crossing Pegasus bridge on D Day , my brother was in a cafe in Devon (South of England ) about a year ago , he had a book about the Commandos with him ,an old man in the corner heard him order some food in a Scottish accent and said hello ,it turned out to be Bill Millin , he was Lord Lovat's piper crossing the bridge ,he still visits the Commando base in Devon for official dinners etc , amazing man .He signed my brothers book .
