    I think the best basis for research would be P1344, currently under restoration at the RAF Museum. I had a vague recollection that the Canadian one was mostly a wooden mock-up, and the article above sort of confirms it to a point. The one at East Kirkby is very incomplete, or it was when I last saw it. https://vintageaviationnews.com/warbirds-news/75-years-story-hampden-p1344s-final-flight.html?utm_content=cmp-true Special Hobby did a bang-up lob on their recent Whirlwind without there being an original one in existence, so I don't see there being any huge issue.

    I could raise you a half-built Sanger vac 😁

    Absolutely the best news I've read this year! Just need it to come to fruition 🙏

    Looking forward to watching this progress. I built the Flashback and ICM kits many years ago and they both built up well.

    Could be, could be... At the moment they look a bit like a white cat in a snowstorm

    I think you could be right 👍 Looking at the colour callouts, the upper fuselage is shown as Humbrol 30. As I understand it the actual colour was NIVO, which is worth a Google search all of its own.

    Put me down for 2 at least! How long before Xtradecal step up for this one? There must be a good number of attractive schemes for this British Icon. On this subject, some folks criticised the ones on the Tamiya Swordfish for not laying flat, but if the instructions are followed correctly they work just fine; as long as the receiving slots in the wing are large enough to allow one end of the wire to slide while the other end is secured. They're not designed to be fixed at both ends. Hopefully the Bulldog wings (or the top one, at least) are in two halves - the photos aren't clear on this.

    Trailing arm from what I recall. Keep up the great work!

    I'm OK with the riveting on recent Eduard kits, but looking at their press tooling, I now feel a whole lot better about my welding 😆 Seriously, really looking forwards to this release

    I Assumed (as per the instructions) that the intakes would be interior green, but the evidence would indicate otherwise: https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19810-132-westland-whirlwind/page/5/

    I'll tag along on this if that's OK? Agreed that it's a great kit, and it goes together very well, for the most part. I found that the tailplanes needed thinning out a little before joining, and some of the colour callouts are definitely suspect. The fire extinguisher should be dull brass, not red, and the tailplane underside was unlikely to have been black - but I can see why they called it out as such. On another er - Large Scale forum, it's just been pointed out that the internal structure of the wings was silver, so I have some rework to do on mine! Now wondering if the undercarriage bays should be silver too...?

    Ahhh... so I'm a 'Quarterback' 😁 Looking forward to seeing what they reveal today

    True, but I think comparing Armory with Airfix is a bit 'apples & oranges'. (from a modeller with a box full of old etch frets with only the seat belts used)
  14. B_Bogus
    Really pleased to see this. Dare we dream of future Gamecocks, Siskins, Flycatchers, etc?

    Am I going to be the only one disappointed by the continued lack of a 1/48 Beardmore Inflexible?
