Aaronw Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Can anyone identify the type of aircraft in this photo from wikicommons (no not the B-17 I can figure that out ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-17_Flying_Fortress#/media/File:Boeing_SB-17G.jpg I've got the Academy ASR B-17 so if there is a kit of this other plane I thought it would be a neat companion for it. Nevermind, when I checked the link to see that it worked and that time the full caption came up identifying the other as a Stinson L-5.

ross blackford Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 :D, G'day Aaron. That looks like a Stinson L-5 Sentinel to me. Like this one. , Ross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ross blackford Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 :D, There is a kit of this aeroplane; in 1/72 scale from one of the eastern european short run manufacturers. Off the top of my head I can't think which one at the moment. I'll have a look for you. I think it's either AZ Model or RS Models , Ross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ross blackford Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 :D, Looks like it's coming back into production soon. It's a Sword kit so I wasn't too far off. I've been told that Sword and AZModel are owned by the same person and in the past Sword kits have also been marketed under the AZModel label. I have an example of the Sword Beech D17 Staggerwing which also was sold under the AZ label. Have a look at the Sword model's site. It's in there under the Coming Soon category so they're going to put it back into production again. , Ross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The type has been kitted by a few outfits over the years; the one you're thinking of was originally done by Sword and then reissued by AZ later Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ross blackford Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 :D, G'day Kevan. Thank you for the info. Do you know if it will be available again soon? I'd like to get a couple of these as there's an L-5 and an OY-1, the US Navy version in the local area near here. , Ross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevan Vogler Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hi Ross I'm not sure if it will be available again anytime soon. I can't find them on the AZ or Sword websites and both AZ and Sword have improved quite a bit since those kits were available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ross blackford Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 :D, Hello Kevan. I had a look at the Sword site last night. If you look under Catalogue/Eshop it's the fourth listing down from the top on the first page under Coming Soon. , Ross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for it to be reissued. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
