Gentlemen, I'm back but it turns out I was never away as far as Wings Of Peace was concerned and as a consequence I've learned a lesson to share with you all. ...
Bill et al, To be - perhaps too - pedantic, an oil cooler IS literally a radiator. It radiates the heat of the oil into another medium (air) to be carried ...
Gentlemen, For many reasons Mark Schynert's S-43 cannot be taken very seriously. The use of the Airfix 1:144 scale Boeing 314 Clipper decals is a good basic...

Jim - Thanks for yours. You're quite right, of course, but in this country the term 'radiator' is only used for coolant radiators. Radiators used for other...
Tim! ... Bummer! Anyway, I'm sure that there will be extremely good options to convert the military version to airliner as soon as the Ventura kit hits the ...
Hi Jim and all, The military and civil versions of the S-43 ARE different. It seems the U.S. Navy required some changes to the S-43 before it was acceptable....
Hi Petr and All, There is clearly intense competition between Czech companies. I just saw at Hannant's Open Day the brand new first injection moulded kit from...
