He did consider a Belvedere, but says economically, it's a non starter. If he needs to get a great Whirlwind 10, then look no further than the Yorkshire Helicopter Preservation Group at Doncaster. They have the last to see UK service and it's finished in the 84 sqn UN scheme when it served in Cyprus.

rio Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Will be getting the 1/72nd versions when they come out. Got a couple of museum ones i want to build. Rio
bentwaters81tfw Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Mel expects to have the 1/72 versions ready for Telford. Lets hope his suppliers don't let him down like last year. 5
Planebuilder62 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Any news on this wth Telford approaching? Regards Toby
bentwaters81tfw Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Mel is not announcing a date until they are in his hands after the problems he had last year. We might be lucky, but I suspect maybe not for Telford. 1
Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 The Curse of the Wasp strikes again.....Air-Graphics and Kiwi Models don't have one either.
Caerbannog Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Nice - time to put my Fujimi 1:48 Westland Wasp kit for sale. 2

bentwaters81tfw Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Latest on the Wasp today from Mel. 1/72 due April 2020. 1/48 due Telford 2020. No floatation gear on either. Airframe used for design work never carried any. 1/35 Scout maybe 2021. 2 1

Paul J Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 What is interesting is a 1/144 C-130 for October???No other details. 1

Mel says the engineering of the gear is too complex, and he would get crucified just as much if he got it wrong, so he can't win. There is a lot of work in the engine as it is. Just be grateful you are getting them. 2
Homebee Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Provisional box art Quote S&M Models is pleased to advise that the Wasp kit availability is now scheduled as follows:- 1/72 Version (Including Historic Flight edition) APRIL 2020 1/48 Version (Not XT787) Telford NOVEMBER 2020 Quote The WASP in 1/72 scale is scheduled for April 2020 and in 1/48 in November 2020 at Telford.

Paul Bradley Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 An opportunity for an enterprising aftermarket company then....
Graham Boak Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Small production run models rarely get much aftermarket, for the fairly obvious reason that only a minority of buyers of any model buy aftermarket, and a small percentage of a small run doesn't suggest other than a tiny number of sales.
bentwaters81tfw Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 1 hour ago, Dave Fleming said: Yeah, that really helps if the subject you want to do has floats Then wait for someone else to produce a Wasp then, or manufacture your own kit. Personally I would like to see flotation gear, but to quote Mel 'it is what it is'. Nobody is ever satisfied in this world.

I have an old set of C Scale floats I can use.
