RichG Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Definitely going to get one of these. As others have said it would be great to see some other British helicopter types to go with it in due course. Westland Whirlwind HAR10 (and other marks) and Bristol Belvedere HC1. Would be incredible in 1/48 but I would be happy with 1/72 scale too. Fingers crossed!

Mr B Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I too am eagerly waiting to buy one........fond memories of lady bird - peter n jane storybook.....from the early years which featured this chopper in one of its titles.....lol rich, I think smm models did this in 1/72. Mikro Mir is the designers of it and I think they are upscaling it to 1/48....now....I may be wrong but it’s similar to the provost..... rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope its injection moulded, but then a good resin would be fine too (although thinking about the fuselage length and potential for warping... 🤔 maybe not). I'd certainly be in the market for a couple. Any more clues... this year, next? Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than perhaps different decals (which may be covered off by the after market lads and lasses), I can't see too much difference from this iteration and any future boxings of the kit, as the difference between the export machines and indigenous ones are going to be hardly noticeably in 1/48.
