JohnT Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 It’s going to need ............. a set of three resin figures. David Suchet’s Hercule Poirot character, Captain Hastings and an Inspector Japp. Perhaps with detained bad guy at Croydon Airport as he was about to flee justice to the Continent and 1930’s police car ! There’s a diorama for someone 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flarpen Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Looks really nice. But I'm hoping that someone will make the D.H.90 in 1/48. The way overlooked little sister of the D.H.89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT we still need a decent one in 1/72nd to replace the old Heller kit that has served so well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Excellent news, was tempted by the lovely 32nd scale example but this is my scale and media!😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Puff Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 OK, that's the market for 1:32 Rapides well and truly covered. Now, would someone PLEASE do a 1:32 (or any other scale, for that matter) DH.84? The Dragon had its own charm, and there were enough of them in service around the world to give a wide selection of markings ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMB Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I have been in contact with Armory and they said " - we lost one of our workshops in Kharkiv, which prepared molds for us. But anyway, we expect the release of the model in the 1st Quarter 2023. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
