I have always had a soft spot for this bird . Unfortunately not a lot of color variations .

Tin Tin's bird would definitely be different :)

I like the green version better but then I was never a Tin Tin fan lol.


Bob, Tin Tin was a childrens character that went on adventures.

I believe it is the 1/72 Heller kit Gary.

Good luck painting all that yellow Warren. :popcorn

Tin Tin it is!

Yes Christian and Dave, you are correct. It is the 1/72 Heller kit.

Steven Speilberg did an animated "Adventures of Tin Tin" several years ago (computer 3d animation) supposdly the guy that did all the Lord of the Rings movies is to do the sequel sometime soon.

Saw it, thought it was actually quite good!

Here's the kit with the time stamp!



And after a quick wash and dry, I started into it with some basic sub assemblies. It actually looks like a nice little kit. A good amount of detail for it's size.



had to grind off the bomb racks on the bottom of the wing and the machine guns from the leading edge. I'll have to fill in the machine gun port on the starboard side as well. I don't think TinTin had any weapons!
