Anyone seen one of the Twin Otters by Skymarks? Are they any good?
I thought an interesting choice. I think am odd scale in 1/50 though.
Would be interested in any opinions.

Saw one in modelzone - BA current colours (Loganair?) - nicely printed colours and a nice enough model but not too much moulded detail for a model of that size - the engines looked a little 'primitif' and I recall the odd ugly raised seam/moulding line that put me off.

I think the price was £29 or £39 which is a bit rich for what is effectively a snap-together, Wooster type model.

That said, if you're after a 1/48-ish Twotter you can build in three minutes you might be waiting a while for an alternative.

Why 1/50 I don't know - Heller went down that road when everyone else did 1/48.

If it was £20 or less or an older scheme (Landor or real Loganair) I might have deliberated longer.
