Excellent chat covering a wide range of modeling projects. Its amazing how many collectable products branch out of transportation from civilian to military. The Hawker Sydney is quite a nice looking kit, I like the color scheme it enhances the features of the model very well. The kit bashing is also coming along nicely, the engines mounted on the top would give it a great " steam punk" look with an open nose gunner . I have recently ordered some Das Werk oversized kits of soldiers for future builds as my skill set is not quite there for such large detail. My first kit was a P6E with the Talons on the wheel boots I want to say it was a Lindberg kit but could have been a Hawk or Auroua. I ordered a vintage Auroua off eBay for a nostalgia build. Thanks for sharing your ideas that any kit is never to old to have fun building or rebuilding. Cheers Bob.
Nice Timetravel. Had these Super Quartet card sets as well here in Germany. Many kids here played with it. The Airfix Hellcat was one of my first kits, it was in the plastic bag blister, but my very first model kit was given to me to my mother on my first School day, it was an Airfix Boeing 737 Lufthansa. So the virus started 🙂
Those decals have seriously yellowed....still looks like a nice scheme though......it should be red white and blue i believe but the red stripes on mine (both of them) have faded to orange due to age
I thought it had something to do with the yellowing decals. I had a look at photos of G-AYBH and the markings do look like they were painted orange as opposed to red

that reminds me - i must do a video going through all my card packs
Agree with the other viewer who suggested mounting the engine over the wing on the Walrus kitbash… see the HondaJet for a real world example of this

Over the wing... Not under the wing 😉
