Mel My hope: a 1/48th Hunting Percival Provost T.Mk.1 after the 1/72nd kit http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234984749-172-percival-provost-tmk1-by-s-m-models-test-shotbox-arts-release-november-2015/ V.P.

Vlamgat9 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Pretty sure it'll be the Provost. Mel said he'd upscale it if the '72 kit sold sufficiently well. I'll buy one in '48 for sure.
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 well if it's from S&M then you can assume it will have some ground accessories too....like tie down cables They were next to us last year - nice chaps - I hope whatever it is, it's a cracker. Jonners 1
Julien Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Damn, I already need / want the 1:72 kits, so will have to get it if in 1:48!
bentwaters81tfw Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 It is the Provost. Spoke to Mel tonight with bootneck.
Homebee Posted October 9, 2016 Author Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Do not expect this kit before late 2017 or in 2018... V.P. Edited October 9, 2016 by Homebee
Homebee Posted December 3, 2016 Author Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) Forget the S&M project! Having already designed the S&M 1/72nd Provost kit (http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234984749-172-percival-provost-tmk1-by-sm-models-released/), MikroMir is to re-edit the exercice but this time in 1/48th and under its own label. Release in 2017. Source: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235012924-the-percival-p56-provost-148/ CADs V.P. Edited March 24, 2017 by Homebee 3
Stuflyer Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 Fantastic! 1/72 is getting a bit small for my rapidly disappearing eyesight. :-)
Ali62 Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 Great news looking forward to this one.............. Ali
Work In Progress Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Nope. Suggest if you you want to hear as soon as possible you try asking over on MikroMir's own forum, where they are posting regularly. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/490-mikromir/

The Tomohawk Kid Posted December 3, 2017 Posted December 3, 2017 It will be great to see this beauty in quarter scale and will look splendid in silver and dayglo finish. Thomo. 5
sinistervampire319 Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 At least one of them that I build will be this scheme. With the .303's and wing racks. 2
Mikkel Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 I’m in on that Rhodesian or a Zimbabwean bird! Cool little thing! 1
stever219 Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 I hope this kit doesn't suffer from a cockpit that's too shallow like its 1/72rh sibling does: I found the remains of one of my old Matcbox Provosts t'other day and the difference in cockpit depth between it and the MikroMir/S&M kit is quite noticeable. Not going to stop me buying one or three though.....😉
fightersweep Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Oh yes! One of my favourite airframes! Already have three of the 1/72 S&M kit and seven Matchbox kits (still a nice kit!) I'll take three of the 1/48 version please! Can we have a 1/24 Provost from Airfix now? 2

Yes please if not 1/24 at least 1/32...... a nifty nice looking aircraft rich in history.....
fightersweep Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Agreed! A 1/32 Provost would be very nice. As you say, rich in history and colour schemes. I've got Maurice Landi to thank for my love of the Provost. If Matchbox hadn't released their kit, I may have not discovered it. I remember buying it as a kid becasue it was something other than a Bf 109 or Spitfire, and it became my favourite model for quite some time. 1
