I’m working on a Monogram 1/12 scale Wright Cyclone R-1820 kit. I would like to have a mechanic or two working on it. I have not had any success in finding any in 1/12 scale. My preference would be USN personnel but any will do. Does anyone have an idea of where I might search for such an elusive item?
Speaking of elusive items is anyone familiar with the Pitcairn Mailwing(s) that dates to the beginning of the US air mail service, circa 1927 - 1931. I am looking for a model kit, scale unimportant, for any model of the Mailwing, PA-5, PA-6, PA-7 or PA-8. There is a PA-5 hanging in the Smithsonian but my model budget isn’t quite that big.
I was able to fine a kit of the Pitcairn PCA-2 autogiro (1/48) during my searching for the Mailwing. A Williams Bros. kit which I understand can be a real challenge. Hope I’m up to it.
