    Ark Models does have some original kits. I have their 1/144 Buran shuttle and it’s very nice actually. I guess I’m wondering why they are doing this IL-86 when Zvezda already have a very nice kit of this subject in their range. I guess doing all the surface detail with decals does save on tooling costs though. I wonder if it was planned that way?

     

    It’s an Il-96, not an Il-86

    You aren't kidding! 

     

    I'm slightly surprised to see the 1/48 Buccaneer in the sale, I would have thought they would have flown off the shelves. 

     

    Not particularly surprised to see the 1/48 Lynx there though, helicopters never seem popular (though the Sea King was!). 

     

    I wonder if Airfix will ever get rid of all those 1/72 Polish Banks 😂😂😂


    though lynx must have sold well enough to justify a re pop?

    We will see :) the pace of release suggests it might be a good couple of years away.

     

    “It's up to you to keep us running until we complete the whole series of F-4 Phantom, from the J-type to the S, C, D, J (Marine ver.) types, then to each E, F, G and EJ long-nose types, to eventually finish with the Spey engine mounted types.” 
     

    Decades away by the sounds of it!

    A potential fleet of 16?  That sounds like a country that takes its maritime defences seriously.  Not like certain other countries which buy in penny packets just sufficient to make sure there's one operational at any given time.

    To be fair it’s those weasel words “up to” so could be anything between 1 and 16!
     

    Canada does have the biggest coastline on earth by a long way so it ought to be a national priority

    As the Super Mirage F1 had the Klimov SMR-95 engine and Russian missiles did it also have Russian electronic and the K-36 Ejection seat?I have an Esci 1/48 scale Mirage F-1AZ and maybe I modify it into the Super Mirage F1.

     

    Thank you very much

    Just the engine. Rest was as before.

     

    Not sure the missiles were ever actually integrated - hung for show i think.
