fightersweep Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I was only wondering today if there was any progress. I'm up for a couple at least. A nice BAF scheme hopefully! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 That's a bit unfair showing one of our RNZAF ones first up in the colour calls, how is a joker to resist that. I'll just go & fondle the 1/144 ones I have. Steve. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then follow it up with a RAAF version covered in Dayglo paint? .... which one does one choose, especially when I've always liked the Kiwi Camo scheme? Cheers..

wamwig Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Did British Air Ferries have any 21/31's? Several 32's yes but the earlier versions I'm not sure of. Mind you there are Channel Airways, Silver City, Dan-Air and others that I'd have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 It is amazing that such a plain old girl would get so much attention. I have always felt it was one of the the unsung heros of the sky. Fat but with class. It's a bit like on old dog. It will look like it's owner.😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 British Air Ferries emerged out of the wreckage which was the split up of British United and its merger with Caledonian. They inherited the Mk32s that were still in service with British United Air Ferries in 1970. The other airline that emerged as an independent from the great break up was British Island Airways.

Admiral Puff Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Some great Australian civvie schemes around - hopefully Hawkeye will cover them, and Oldmodels will do a SAFEAir sheet! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMB Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) Time to bump this thread up, as the latest SAM magazine has an advert from FLY showing the Bristol Freighter kit, so it must be imminent...geeez, how many years does it take??

I was checking the Hannants website just now and saw that they have changed their delivery date for the two versions to 'expected December 2019'. I also noticed that some (possibly scanned 1st drafts with dodgy colouration) decal options. I hadn't seen these before but then I could be mistaken. https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/YLF72033 Perhaps this is wild speculation or wishful thinking.... or perhaps they have heard from FLY. Either way, hope springs eternal...🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali62 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Agree but £33 better than £82.00, also what other model company would give the community a new Bristol 170. without going into all the aircraft and companies producing them, there as some excellent new models and subjects coming from these ‘new / newish’ European / Ukraine / Russian and other such areas, and none are particularly on the cheap / budget lines but they are producing subjects that non of the big guys will ever tackle. Added to that there are new products coming out at a rate that most of us cannot keep up with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 What news upon the Rialto? Someone here wants to build several Aussie ones (and if Hawkeye doesn't do the decals, is in for a sh(ed)load of masking!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalea Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 OK, so that's the decals. What we need is some plastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
