tnuag Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Apologies - I have been swamped with aeroplane wants as well. I will use your list as an aide memoir - in fairness look at the number of new items we have produced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil if you stick a good B1 conversion at the top of the list and produce same I think a large number of us on here will be very happy modeller and all sins forgiven ! For what its worth being effectively self employed and a one man band myself I know just how much you are at the mercy of the winds and tides that pull you different ways at their merest whim. I have lost count of the empty diary days that were filled with emergency calls for help by 8.55 am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - Your announced to released ratio is slightly (ok, a lot!) better than my bought to built ratio, but if you could improve yours mine would only get worse.... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd certainly be willing to put my name down for that one. Any news on the Matador Blue Steel Transporter I suggested a couple of years ago?

tnuag Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Yes - it is the Mandator and it is planned to follow the current series of Canadair conversions (Yukon, CL-44 and Argus). Mandator has been delayed because of problems with casting clear resin windows. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general melchett Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Quote would a B1 conversion be of interest? Absolutely Neil! Please go for it. Having wrestled with several Matchbox conversions the thought of a conversion set of the quality of your Valiant B2 set would be a Godsend. As an added bonus several parts in the K2 boxing could also be used in a K1/1A conversion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnuag Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 We must get the Mandator out before looking at the Victor. Incidentally, we have just improved the Valiant B2 conversion with the addition of resin main wheels, to give better hub detail. I am just wondering if we should make the new wheels available separately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Understood Neil, the Mandator will be extremely welcome, I can see a few of these adorning our Bomber Command SIG table. Funnily enough regarding the Valiant, I ended up using a few sets of CMK Canberra PR9 main wheels to represent the later style but providing your wheels as a separate item would be really great. Do you have any photos of the new parts? I'm sure you'll have most if not all you need but if you're looking for any particular info on the Victor B1 please let me know.
