71chally 7,283 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 yesss - definitely want Wasps in 72nd and 48th! Please let there be a Whirlwind rotary after that 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bentwaters81tfw 6,464 Posted September 24, 2017 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
71chally 7,283 Posted September 24, 2017 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
XV107 597 Posted September 24, 2017 Share 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... Link to post Share on other sites
Aeronut 1,092 Posted September 24, 2017 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Julien 8,190 Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 We could do with some pics for the walkaround section if you can get any. Link to post Share on other sites
Edge 613 Posted September 24, 2017 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

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 3,801 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'm in for a 1/48th Wasp if the price isn't to astronomic. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Harry Lime 833 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'm in for a few of these in 1/72! Mark. Link to post Share on other sites
JamesP 447 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Whoopie! I think everyone has given up on the Freightdog Wasp ever seeing the light of day. Link to post Share on other sites
Tsrjoe 5 Posted September 25, 2017 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
stevehnz 9,918 Posted September 26, 2017 Share 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.

abat 1,252 Posted September 26, 2017 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Russell 2,886 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 The RAN ones were moderately boring looking but there will definitely be a Kiwi one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Dick 329 Posted September 27, 2017 Share 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 ! Link to post Share on other sites

bentwaters81tfw 6,464 Posted October 1, 2017 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
