The wooksta V2.0 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) More interested in the 72nd conversions. Two RAF heavies - Manchester and Lincoln? Clue says leader and follower - the Manchester led the Lancaster and the Lincoln followed? Edited February 13, 2013 by The wooksta V2.0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Evans Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 My guess is Vampire, and it is just a guess. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dambuster Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 There's obviously a 1/48 Merlin conversion in there. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) For a better comprehension or nearly... Rotor + Merlin + 1/48 - conversion sets HM.1/.2 for the new Airfix Merlin HC.3? Rhino = Phantom + 1/48 - conversion & detailing sets for the new Academy F-4B? British, Spooky + Bat, Big - 1/32nd DH Vampire?

Caerbannog Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 That's also my guess Homebee Rotor + Merlin + 1/48 - conversion sets for the new Airfix Merlin Rhino = Phantom + 1/48 - conversion & detailing sets for the new Academy F-4B Big, Spooky, British = 1/32nd DH Vampire Concerning the cat it could be either the cat itself (Jaguar) or the arrow (Javelin). Hmm - I first only focused on the cat and thought it will be Jaguar stuff, but now I am not sure. Either way it will be nice. But I have no really clue about the British Heavies in 1-72. I would not call a Bristol Bulldog a heavy which first sprang to my mind. If it is concerning Bombers I could imagine some corrections for the latest Revell offerings (Halifax and Lancaster), which maybe makes sense in the "follower" clue (or in this case Manchester-Lancaster???).

Phil Evans Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Maybe "the leader" to do with the heavies is a reference to the Pathfinders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dambuster Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) I think that the 'Tiger' holding a spear could be a Mk 7 Javelin with black and yellow undersurfaces: XH754. Spooky could be a 1/32 Hawker Demon..... Although this might not fit the 'very big' category. Peter Edited February 14, 2013 by dambuster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Ogilvie Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) My money's on a 1:32 Vampire If so that's utterly, utterly brilliant - and I can take the fuselage from one to make a single seat venom by cross kitting with the Sea Venom. All based upon *if* it's a Vampire of course... Iain Edited February 14, 2013 by Iain (32SIG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I must admit that the tiger with a pointy stick has me stumped! 1/48th Merlin-yes...hopefully a naval conversion or ex Danish HC.3A? 1/72nd Manchester and Lincoln,....surely and I really hope so. 1/32nd or 1/24th scale single seat Vampire or Venom,.....that's my guess and yes please! Maybe a single seat pod for the 1/32nd scale Matchbox/Revell Venom? 1/48th Academy Phantom stuff? 1/72nd Valetta,....I just thought that I`d sneak that one in as a wish!! Good stuff Ali, looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us, Cheers Tony O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Lambess Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 my moneys on a 24th scale Vampire....... (assuming that they are Vampire bats in the picture) and i hope for a nice new Lincoln conversion for the new airfix lanc ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scimitar F1 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 This has to be a 1/32 F-4K/M conversion. A Vampire is scary but not really spooky - a Phantom is however. Yes it would be a large amount of resin but have a look at ebay for what people would be prepared to pay. If it is I will just have to have one!
