Gawain Sonoflot Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 This is such a sought-after kit now. How about reissuing it - it was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clipper Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 This is a beautiful kit of a great plane. I would love to get one of these, particularly as a few years ago I was lucky enough to take a flight in the seaplane version over Oahu via the Japanese route into Pearl Harbour. It wasn't a cheap jaunt but I'm so glad I did it, what a memory.Please Airfix, how about a re-issue with the original options. I would be the first in the queue.Clipper.

The Cameraman Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hi Guys n Gals, in my humble opinion this is the greatest aircraft ever built. My stash is full of old Airfix 1/72 scale Beaver kits but if it was re-launched, I'd be straight on the phone to place a bulk order! It would be wonderful if the decals could also be updated to give two options, the first being the aircraft currently operated by the Historic Flight's beautiful example, and the second should be a really bright, colourful and cheerful civilian example on floats (there are loads to pick). Niceties would be for a detailed radial engine, an option to have or not to have windows above the pilots. It would be like Christmas Morning for me if this fin kit was brought back to life and updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cameraman Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I've just had a look at my stash and I have over 30 of these beauties but one can never have enough Beavers!Regards Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeronut Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I've recently been asked to repaint the Gate Guard Beaver at the Museum of Army Flying so it would be nice to have this kit to make a diorama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawain Sonoflot Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 The original Airfix kit had so many options, both US and British Army and with optional parts for wheels, floats or skis. It was a brilliant kit and so versatile - I do hope Airfix still possess the mould/tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marineville Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I would definitely be in for some of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cameraman Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I must admit that the Airfix kit's way better to build that the Hobbycraft 1/72 scale version, which comes with that weird, clear, brittle fuselage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZacYates87 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I would like one of these. I've almost finished a Hobbycraft one so could do with a more relaxing kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Mock Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I've recently been asked to repaint the Gate Guard Beaver at the Museum of Army Flying so it would be nice to have this kit to make a dioramaYou don't happen to have all the paintshop drawings for the Beaver do you? What scheme are you going to repaint it as? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeronut Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I've recently been asked to repaint the Gate Guard Beaver at the Museum of Army Flying so it would be nice to have this kit to make a dioramaYou don't happen to have all the paintshop drawings for the Beaver do you? What scheme are you going to repaint it as? Thanks in advance! The plans are very much in the early stage and the final colour scheme will be at the call of the curator. Its currently (a very tatty) Black and Green but I'm going to press for the dark green / dark earth although the final scheme is likely to be decided by the paint available to the curator. I'll ask about the drawings, all I do know is that there is a complete set of APs and a bundle of other documents in the Museum's archive. The flying Beaver at Middle Wallop has a wonderful mix of paint schemes, with a number of doors and panels off a different aircarft displaying a mismatch of the camouflage pattern.

Marto Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I'd love this with NZ Antartic markings (Brite Red!), a bit different to the standard green/olive drab UK/North American markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieVictor Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I need to get one or two of these, they are brilliant models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles5 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 So, whilst I'd love to back this one as I would dearly like a Beaver and a Basset or two or three in my collection, I cannot as once again, 30 quid postage precludes me from ordering it.
