Missing in Action

Beriev MBR-2

I've been really busy with DIY and other domestic stuff this week, so very little time has been available for hobby stuff. One thing I have done is to sketch out the aircraft I need for this summer's Bag the Hun project, both in terms of the models and also the aircraft data. 

For the scenarios and accompanying introductory article, I'll need to work out the numbers for both the Finnish Curtiss Hawk 75 fighter, the Finnish Fokker CX reconnaissance aircraft and the Soviet Beriev MBR-2 seaplane, the former being used in every scenario and the latter probably featuring in one of them. 

The Hawk shouldn't be very difficult to adapt from the Tomahawk apart from the numerous and slightly confusing variations in armament. The MBR-2 could possibly be adapted from the Supermarine Walrus but I'll probably just work it out from scratch. I have no idea about how to sort out a Fokker CX, so will have to think about how to make one from something else.
