Wez Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I'd like to see a Miles Martinet, I know Magna did a resin one but I don't know if Jan's counting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 The Martinet was done by Pavla a few years back, who also did the Messenger, as did Aeroclub I do not think the Fairey IIIF has been done in injection moulding, I know Contrail did a vacform as I have one.

Thanks for that, I'd forgotten about the Pavla kits. Now the Fairey IIIF is a fine looking aeroplane, I'd be happy to see one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 How about a Hawker Henley? Attactive airframe, a number of different target tug marking options (FAA and RAF), plenty of what-if potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Given AZ's fondness for What-Ifs the Henley would provide good options, replacing Battles and Fulmars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Yes indeed, a Blackburn Blackburn (I actually have an old Contrail vacuform kit of this magnificent aerial beauty). We need one! Or two; both versions - I mean one's more beautiful than the other. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I did notice someone on this very forum talking about Airfix's new model of the Westland Walrus - now there's a thought! Quite a challenge for AZ to top that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Polc Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Nice to look at your tips... But, we will keep the project in secret now. I have got info from production, we can expect 109K and Spit Vc in June if everything goes OK. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were converted Mk.I's. While it gets roundly mocked for its looks, the Blackburn was not an insignificant aircraft. It served from 1923 until 1931, which is a long time considering the pace of aeronautical developments at that time.

upnorth Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Hello Jan, I just saw the box art for the upcoming Z-37 kit. Thanks so much for including OK-CKR in the marking options, it's good to be able to model a well known local machine. :-) Edited March 20, 2018 by upnorth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 So boys, Mr. Reinis just finished his work on boxart for Comet. Grosvenor House like real thing. And you are the first who can see it. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
