Caerbannog Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 Yeeeeessssss!!!! Thanks! First Dora Wings GeeBee, then the King Cobra Racer, the DH 88 announced as well as a MC72 (but in resin IIRC) all in 1:48 - now this! All must-haves for me 🙂 Hope it sells well so more Schneider Racers (and others) will follow. 4

Admiral Puff Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Oh dear - the Fantastic Plastic is in for another hiding! Have to have one - and any other Schneider Trophy aircraft that they care to produce! And i hope that Lion engine will be available separately - there are a couple of scratch builds that could benefit from its presence ... 2
WV908 Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Daft question. Not being overly clued up on the S.5 variants, and having only seen the crate stuffed in the dark in London, what are the main differences between the S.5 and the S.5B? Also, will we be able to build either from the same boxing? Cheers, WV908

71chally Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) possible confusion with the S.6 and S.6B ?, both of which an example is preserved. That S.5 kit looks a beauty! Edited September 3, 2018 by 71chally
WV908 Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Sorry everyone, early morning brain haha, just ignore me. Very nice cad shots, it’s looking a treat 🎩 2

NPL Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 No Spitfire project can really be without them. Especially when you already have the Supermarine type 224 from Heritage. 2
cmatthewbacon Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) So, no decals for the Royal Syldavian Air Force S-5 Inter-Sceptre, then? Shame... I'll definitely have one of those to sit alongside my Testors and Frog S.6bs. If we really buy a lot, can we get a Gloster VI (and IV) and even a Macchi MC.72? best, M. Edited December 4, 2018 by cmatthewbacon 2
Col. Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 Let's all get on with our S.5 kits when they arrive first off and look forward to whatever other announcements follow later. 4
