Blimey. That's astonishing work. -
i recall buying their resin bang seat to put in the kit cockpit - it’s like it was made for a completely different kit in a different scale
-
I fully expect a US government bail out of Boeing

Rhodesian scheme is one of those included
-
What are the observable differences between the different production runs?

The Rhodesian Bush War wasn’t against Swapo - it was against ZANLA and Zipra. And it was over by 1979. Swapo was a party to the Border War in Namibia/Angola and was fought from late 70s to late 80s. The Bronco/Rhodesia connection is definitely not true. No photos, no testimony to same from veterans etc. They nearly got hold of some Trojans/Fennecs however. But you could always do it as a whif? The Zimbabwe-Rhodesia government of 1978 gets international recognition, the arms embargo is lifted and Reagan presidency offers Broncos to Zim-Rho to fight Mugabe and Zanla, who continue the war.

There’s a late 70s kids’ novel called Hijacked! by JM Marks that involves the lead character escaping from the plane via the toilet of a VC-10.... Read it when I was about 9 I think.

That’s marvellous -
Lovely! i wish there was an injection kit (or conversion for an injection kit) of this type in 1/48 - the Planet one is cripplingly expensive and all resin

That’s quite something -
Airfix 1/72 Buccaneer - new tool

The way the rear fuselage is engineered half makes me wonder if they’re planning a distinct SAAF version with the rocket engines built in but I am guessing that’s probably unlikely. -
10,000??? That can’t be right?
-
Typical.... I just bought some resin engines to try and convert the Revell kit into a -33.
-
The S&M kit is an 800, not a 700. It didn’t sell at all well and nearly drove Mel out of the business I think. It’s an ok kit but very short on detail.
-
Yes. But you’ll need after market decals. Dutch Decal are going to re-release their beautiful set for the SAAF Shacks.
-
Gosh. Tempting. But in in 1/72 it’s sadly probably too big.
-
Not sure UK is in much of a position to be making demands of S Korea etc in current circumstances.
-
Pleeeeeeeeease can Trumpy do this in 1/48!
-
I wonder if Dutch Decal will re release their SAAF decals. I have a set stored away but they’re almost impossible to come by nowadays.
