Hi from Finland!
IT Lahtinen registering to iModeler & WaterWings -group.
I’m a returning (several decades break) model man. Have build a couple of kits already - learning something new in every modeling session.
I found these three water planes from my stash.
- Spitfire Vb Floatplane Prototype 1/72 (PM Model)
- Junkers F.13 Sea/Landplane 1/72 (Revell)
- Kawanishi H6K5 Type 97 Flying Boat 1/72 (Hasegawa)
(+ in pict Mr. Natural helping me to decide which to choose)
H6K5 might be too much for me at the moment, but Spit & Junkers might be ok.
Spitfire looks … strange/bizarre with floats - so it is interesting to me. I also like yellow (underside of the plane).
Junkers F.13 is the first all-metal transport airplane. When local Aero Oy (which later became known as Finnair) opened its first route 20.3.1924 from Helsinki to Tallinn, the plane was Junkers F.13. Interesting history from my point of view.
We will meditate a bit with Mr. Natural about the subject & from where to (or should we) start.
Would one or two of these be ok to participate?
