Dave Fleming Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 OK, that has my attention (Hoping for a mk 31....or at least steal the tail from the AF one.) http://s188.photobucket.com/user/petetong1704/media/BristolfrighterXJ470.jpg.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busnproplinerfan Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Should I sell my airfix one off now? Wonder how good it will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truro Model Builder Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Well, that's certainly from left of field. Any chance of a Dove/Devon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Puff Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Any more news on this? It's still listed on the Fly web site only as "coming soon". I've got ANA, Ansett, TAA and Air Express artwork all ready to go ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael51 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 well I sincerely hope the thing arrives as I will certainly be up for some of those decals Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles81 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I would be keen for one, to do an RAAF Freighter without having to covert the Airfix monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPAD64 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Great news! I want one, I'll build one of the Societe Indochinoise de transports Aeriens used in indochina to supply troops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vh-bob Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 That's got me excited and the thought of having another go at producing VH-ADL of Air Express is icing on the cake. As for us DH Dove fans, Hannants list one as "future release" in 1/72 scale from A Model. No more cutting up Airfix Heron kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Some disconcerting news. I have one on pre-order with Hannants. They have just emailed their monthly update, which says that the kit is "no longer listed, December 2016". I hope that just means delay, not death ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can relate to Hannants relationship with the manufacturer rather than status of the project itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Thanks, Geoff. That's helpful to know - I'll just have to keep my little eyes open. I know about OzMods' 170, johhnyboy, but 1:144 isn't my scale - I like to see what I'm modelling ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I'm well into a build of the "live" SAFE Air Freighter using the Airfix Mk.32 and the Kiwi Resins conversion kit. You're all welcome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't AModel announced a Dove for later this year , although I'm still waiting for the Jetstreams T2 and T4, having sold my Airfix pair + S&M conversion sets for a tidy sum in anticipation.
