Tim-355219 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Would it be possible please to re-issue the Islander/Defender kit in 1/72 with some new/different decal options? Also, with some modifications, it could also be made into a Trislander kit - a subject which has had very little focus in the past from kit manufacturers and which certainly deserves consideration?

Sailorman Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 If my memory serves me well .... I think there was an article about converting the Airfix Islander into a Trilander. Bear in mind I'm talking of something I saw 50 years ago ...... There was also another article about the Defender.If you are really, really interested I could look for them!

Pretty Mediocre Modeller Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I believe I remember seeing those articles in 'Scale Models International' magazine in the 80s. There was one to convert the Islander into a radar nosed 'Platypus' AEW aircraft I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailorman Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I'm halfway through my Airfix Magazine database .... most of 1960-69 inputted so far.Haven't started inputted SMI yet........ so I can't easily identify the article Pretty Mediocre is mentioning. It may have been May 1985.Again if there is the interest I'll look for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
