  1. The Me 262 would fit all these requirements very well.
  2. Which means it must be BIG. Last year's 410 could be 'kept under wraps' because the individual boxes were 'over boxed' and so 'hidden' from others setting up the night before. Not possible with 1/24. I'll go for 1/24 Me 262. A sure seller either side of the Atlantic and maybe a 'Dogfight Double' with a P-51....
  3. Curious that it's not actually at Telford. Maybe too small for the Banner announcement eg Vulcan, yet not quite ready to display....

    Dream on. There are, I believe, some 4-5 x 2 seat Spitfires (all slightly different) and I'll guess that maybe up to 1000 people have flown as passengers. The kit has to sell world wide, yes all over the world: USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand for a start with I think no examples there. With the 'reluctance' to offer an XIV (in 1/72) it is most unlikely a 2 seater would ever be in their range. There's no PRXI (over 1000 built) either. For real 'diehards' there's always the KP rendering . With my rather limIited skills I've managed to produce a 'passable' creation from it.

    Unless it wasn't the Ju52 but something else....

    I'd prefer to see Resistance personnel, a significant proportion were female.

    Airfix told me that a very minimum of a year is needed, and then for the very simplist of subjects.

    Some subjects so far barely mentioned - all 1/72 Hampden It'a known that Airfix have bee working on it' for some time now, possibly to release with the unveiling of the restoration. This is now 'on hold' but the money can't be allowed to stay idle so 'full steam ahead' with the kit release. But when? Whenever it rather precludes the co-incident release of Boston\Havoc and Hudson. Both contemporaries, and long overdue for mainstream retooling. Mosquito MK XVl 'reissued' as a late mark Fighter, or even a single-stage Bomber. Liberator Maybe a little soon for a variant release but always a possibility Avenger My white hope (there were more built than Mosquitoes) but not re-tooled this century! FAA, RNZAF and USN one of whose pilots later became president... Need I say more.

    I'll put my money on a 1/24 Me262.
  10. For Revell, there's no good T-33 ! Widely used by Bundeswaffe and many european air arms but never by RAF.
  11. Assuming he's employed as an aviation, rather than market researcher, his task would be to find accurate, reliable data of chosen subjects. Or possibly advise of potential management choices those for which there was reliable data.
  12. Absolutely correct. There are 2 b&w photos (of this side too) in Aircam #8
  13. Can anybody point me to a review of the Kit, or give me their personal experiences building it?
  14. Try adding a 'wetting agent' such as Washing Up liquid ,
