[Julien 6,026]

Scout & Wasp out next year late......

Wasp also in 1/48

 

Scout also in 1/35 !

[Rick Brown 1,353]

Me likes the sound of that!

yesss - definitely want Wasps in 72nd and 48th!

Please let there be a Whirlwind rotary after that

[bentwaters81tfw 4,432]

He has been asked to do a Whirlwind rotary, but if tempted, it would be a Turbine. I did suggest tooling for an alternative nose, but that puts the cost up.

At the mention of the Scout and Wasp, there were 3 advance orders for a big Scout, Julien, Bish and I all said yes immediately! He's got enough work for two years already, so anything else will be a while yet.

[71chally 5,161]

Excellent news, I'm sure a turbine Whirlwind will sell in spades, still plenty of schemes.

Will definitely buy at least three Wasps before that.

To my credit card's dismay, I predict a hive of wasps will be appearing in my stash (a more acceptable version than the little swine dealt with by Rentokil's GBAD), along with more than a few Scouts. And a turbine Whirlwind? Not good for a chap's bank account at all...

[Aeronut 876]

Looks like I'm going to be spending even more of my time  in the museum at Middle Wallop researching detail

[Julien 6,026]

We could do with some pics for the walkaround section if you can get any.

[Edge 427]

Another hand up here for at least a pair of Wasps and maybe a Scout too if there's a RM marking option. What with this and the forthcoming Canberra, Mel has, I'm sure made a lot of us very happy.

I'm only sorry that I hesitated and missed out on the Hastings!

I was thinking more along the lines of taking a scanner to the AP but as the museum has three Scouts on display and the HAF have a flyer, photos shouldn't be a problem.

Thx.

I'm in for a 1/48th Wasp if the price isn't to astronomic.

[Harry Lime 580]

I'm in for a few of these in 1/72!

[JamesP 269]

Whoopie! I think everyone has given up on the Freightdog Wasp ever seeing the light of day. 

[Tsrjoe 5]

Cool, il be after a couple of each in 72 scale, im sure il be tempted by a 35th Scout too, as will one or two colleagues brilliant news

[stevehnz 7,030]

Well I'm definitely good for a Wasp, in RNZN scheme & a Turbine Whirlwind too, I've a photo saved somewhere of one in Malaya during the "emergency" with a Kiwi zap on, probably working with Kiwi troops.

I'd take a 1/72 Scout in RAN colours. And a radial engine Whirlwind in 1/72 would be my preference. 

[Ed Russell 1,935]

The RAN ones were moderately boring looking but there will definitely be a Kiwi one.

? Radial, not rotary? A rotary-powered Whirlwind would be an amazing sight though!

Yes, an interesting engineering opportunity!

[Uncle Dick 278]

Well I might say stuff the Air Fixed procrastination and the Freighted dog going astray - I'll be in for the proverbial truck load of these if they are half decent!

 

My favourite whirly bird of all time - even beats the Sea King...

 

I have 6 AS-12 missiles from CMK in the stash if non are provided to spice them up  - just hope S&M provide the rails and supports...

 

Go you good thing S&M !

Was thinking the same thing! Loved that movie! Even with the cheesy acting.

Mel might look into a turbine Whirlwind, but that would be 2 to 3 years away. He did consider a Belvedere, but says economically, it's a non starter.
