A few more future releases. (4 Viewers)

Hannats has Parts 1 and 2 for 7.25 GBP each

A little better...Thanks!
 
I want Trumpeter to do a Gannet COD Mk4, as it was rumoured they would some years back! Xtradecal have a cracking sheet for it, but I think bashing my Revell As Mk1/4 might be a bit of a tall order. The only 1/72 scale COD4 out there is by Czechmaster - resin and 36 notes, so a non-runner for now!
 
Thirty six quid for a 1/72nd scale kit of a medium sized aircraft!! I'd want it bl**dy gold plated for that price!
But then, with a limited market, and short run, they have to charge to get the return. Or not bother making it in the first place!
Years ago, I remeber at least three different Gannet kits in 1/72nd scale,and different marks, by Frog (later taken on by Novo), and the others by companies I can't remember, one probably Matchbox, much, much later. Of course, then, in the late 1950s / early 60s, they were still in service, so more of a market for the model. I recall using one just for the radome, to convert the Frog Shackleton to the AEW 2 !!
 
I must admit I'm sometimes tempted by Czechmaster - they do a good range of late Spits and Seafires in 1/72 but they're all around the 25 quid mark, and I just don't have the skill or cash to justify it.

I gather the conversion from AS4 to COD4 mainly involves deleting the radome, but that is a fair bit of work and I wouldn't want to risk trashing my reduced-to-8-quid kit in the process :lol:

I would like to see more WW1 stuff on release - Revell do a decent 2.99 range, but the other players are really Airfix (old moulds) and Roden (8-10 notes for a tiny single-seat fighter). I am thinking of going Roden, but only after I've practiced on the cheap stuff first 8)
 
spotted this, may interest you Terry....Airfix new kits ,Test shots,Sea Vixen,Spit XII MK 1a
 
Thanks Wayne. I don't really have an interest in the Sea Vixen, which was announced over a year ago, especially as it's going to be a ridiculously high price. But I am interested in, and have been waiting for the Spit MkXII - about time too !
Just wonder what's happening with the 1/48th scale Vulcan shown as a test shot at the trade fare in Germany about 18 months ago ......
And I wish Airfix wouldn't keep discontinuing kits... was going to get a couple of the 1/48th Spit Mk1s, but now they've turned it into a MkVa, at a higher price, but still with the parts for the Mk1.
 
Yep! I've been waiting for someone to do this forgotten mark in 1/48th scale, and almost got exicited when it was announced a couple of months back. That's virtually all marks covered now, as the othes, if not in kit form, can easily be converted or cross- kitted. The mark XII was a bit more involved to convert from existing kits though, and there's no longer a conversion set available. I'll ceratinly be getting one, and hope it's up to the improved standard of the more recent Airfix releases.
 
We have the 1/32 Ju 88 BoB, the He 111 P BoB / france will come , why not a 1/32 Flying pencil (Do17)? Would be nice this sleek airplane.

Agree with you about the Do17 Thomas. I wonder if Revell have one up their sleeve for next year?!
 
The canopy will be a nightmare...! :lol:
