Julien Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Scout & Wasp out next year late...... both in 1/72 Wasp also in 1/48 Scout also in 1/35 ! 14 2
71chally Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 yesss - definitely want Wasps in 72nd and 48th! Please let there be a Whirlwind rotary after that 1
bentwaters81tfw Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 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. 1 1
71chally Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 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.
XV107 Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 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 Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Looks like I'm going to be spending even more of my time in the museum at Middle Wallop researching detail 1
Julien Posted September 24, 2017 Author Posted September 24, 2017 We could do with some pics for the walkaround section if you can get any.
Edge Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 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! Edge
TEXANTOMCAT Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Skellen!!! Who Dares Wins with T bar and two SAS types suspended below with Hatton rounds in their shotguns please! 3

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.

Silver Fox Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 I'm in for a 1/48th Wasp if the price isn't to astronomic. 2
Harry Lime Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 I'm in for a few of these in 1/72! Mark.
JamesP Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Whoopie! I think everyone has given up on the Freightdog Wasp ever seeing the light of day.
Tsrjoe Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 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 Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) 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. Steve. Edited September 26, 2017 by stevehnz
abat Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 I'd take a 1/72 Scout in RAN colours. And a radial engine Whirlwind in 1/72 would be my preference.
Ed Russell Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 The RAN ones were moderately boring looking but there will definitely be a Kiwi one. 1

Uncle Dick Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 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 !

bentwaters81tfw Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 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. 1 1
