Is it possible to find out some information about the first model in the MOM for this month. The one that looks like a Fairy Sword Fish. I would very much like to build that airplane. If you can tell me let me know at

It's a
Grumman Duck. There have been kits in 1/72 and 1/48.
In 1/72 it was done by Airfix and by
Octopus/Pavla.
There was a "1/48" kit by ITC, later released by Glencoe, and a much better one by Classic Airframes. Both of these will have to be sought out on Evil- bay or at swap meets
