Flyboy72nd Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Now we're talking!!!!! Hmmm, I think this kit could be in a family way......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truro Model Builder Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 There's not a long way from one of these to a BAe 125 CC.1/CC.2/CC.3, and thence to a Dominie... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking along the same lines. If they thought out the tooling well, other variants could follow without too much trouble. One of the first civilian aviation models I built was the old Matchbox HS 125. It would be great to have that aircraft family done in modern toolings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) Pictures courtesy of JeffreyK . Certainly one of the nicest looking aircraft at the moment. Robert Edited September 19, 2018 by Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sword follows this with a box dedicated to the -600 or a -700 I'll be even happier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) Or with the JASDG dark blue sea camouflage like this one I photographed in May 2016 at Komatsu. V.P. Edited September 20, 2018 by Homebee 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Ooh nice! I always wondered why Hasegawa never got round to it in their biz-jet range. Before anyone gets too excited about derivatives there are certain features unique to the -800 that need attention, namely: * cockpit glazing - earlier variants had slab sided windows and not faired in to a more ‘pointy’ front end * in plan form the wing was a new design, so reprofiling will be necessary * the ventral area of the fuselage from the rear of the wing to the tip of the tail is not as faired in. So in short, the engines, wheels and undercarriage are common to earlier Garrett fan engined versions. Not much commonality I’m afraid. Having said that a civvie -800 would be nice.

71chally Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) I think it would be a stretch to get Dominies and early series 125s from this, but even late 125s are very welcome! looks good in those JASDF schemes (thx Homebee!), there is a striking VIP scheme aswel. Be nice to see a S.Korean RC-800 boxing. Edited September 19, 2018 by 71chally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 A great release... such a nice looking 'bizjet'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_C Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Interesting that Sword is moving into a completely different theme. I do not think they did bizjets before. Maybe this is to continue their AEW range? Or is it Amodel and BPK gaining good money from their bizjet ranges? Anyway more than welcome move!
