Hi Steven,how about a pair of oxen to tow the plane? It was a fairly common sight,particularly later in the war. I saw a dio recently in which two cows were converted to oxen and towed a Fw190.

Cheers

Steve

I've been watching the build up to this dio and it sounds like it's gonna be great.

I was looking at a 1/72 airfix ? version in my LMS and thinking about this build.

If santa gives me any money I think I'll get one for the stash.

I'll continue watching with interest.

Tony.

you certainly can use tamiya thinner x-20a with revell aqua colour, i use it and i have their own brand aqua colour thinner but find the tamiya stuff works better than theirs.
