As an follow on to this, I have the new 1/48 scale kit for the Grumman Goose amphibian with the radial engines. I have been told there is also a kit out for the smaller Grumman amphib (Widgeon??) that had two in line Ranger engines. Anybody have any information on that kit.

I just finished the Airfix Widgeon.Basic older kit with a few fit problems.Comes with USCG decals.Mine was in a USAirfix box.Pretty cheap on evil-bay.

Done in 1/48 by Signifer. Check their website at:

Thanks for the URL; I've never seen one quite that involved for a home page! Apparently they spell it with a "G" which Squadron left out IIRC. Cheers,

Thank You, Andrew!

I can understand their confusion. In a couple of places in the web site (halfway down the home page for one) they refer to themselves as Sinifer. Go figure.
