I think we might see one from Micromir later this year, after I encouraged them with my Warpaint book on the Varsity

The Revell Rotodyne kit is far superior, albeit in 1/87th scale ( but close enough for 1/72) and can still be easy found. It has full interior with passenger seats, passengers, luggage and an opening side panel so you can see the interior. It also has a removable rotor head engine panel and depicts the Rotodyne at a later stage in development in 1960 with additional central tail fin.

I have buit this kit as one of my Schneider Trophy racers theme . Very simple construction but looks the part.

Airfix 1/72 S.2 Buccaneer, XW529, RAF Boscombe Down, 1970's
AMB replied to clumsy's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
I photographed this Buccaneer at Boscombe Down on 18th March 1971 and it was in a high gloss finish then and only had the polar bear badge on the port side of the tail. Instead it had a small white shield on the starboard side of the nose with that polar bear badge on it. -
The Battle of Britain in real life and on film.
AMB replied to munnst's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Very nice - built for the film but never used as it was found to be too difficult to fly. Instead they used radio controlled Stuka models. -

The red and green paint faded as it was actually fluorescent/ dayglo paint which always faded quickly in prolonged sunlight. -
The box art leaves a lot to be desired with distorted RAF roundels and a C.19 in 'silver/white' with 'Air Support Command' titles, as they were painted Light Aircraft Grey when they had those titles!

I am delighted that they have chosen WM159 as that is the actual aircraft I have flown in out of Hurn on 5th June 1968 and believe they used my photos as reference!

Is that the old FROG/NOVO kit, as I am not aware of any other Mk.1 Wessex kit in 1/72?

Westland Wasp HAS 1: 'Ambuscade Flight: XT778'
AMB replied to TheBaron's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Well that's 29 pages of incredible CAD drawings and 3D printed parts. I wonder how many pages on the forum before we see a completed model? How are you planning to make the transparencies? Vacu-form or is it possible to 3D-print them using clear resin?- 741 replies

Very good - I wasn't aware of any Bassets have a single prop blade painted black & white on each engine?

Preiser make seated figures for railway modellers in 'N' gauge which is close-enough to 1/144th

Absolutely - it has to be 1/72. Indeed 1/48 would be too big. We are in contact Sergey!
