Now that is tempting... would look good parked against a 1/72 AEW Gannet, almost like a beached whale scene!

Hallalujah!  Been after one of these for years. Hope it goes together better then their Spit XIV.

Woo Hoo, I can build my Hasegawa Spad  OOB now, no need to dig out the old Airfix mag Alan W Hall conversion now, no balsa & talcum powder will be needed.

Steve.

Yeah, I can stop searching for the RVHP conversion now

A new source for an Swedish Skyraider. Where are my cans with yellow paints?

More than likely they will produce Swedish Skyraider boxing, in fact I am quite sure of that

[cngaero 1,550]

Oh yusssssss!!!!!! 

[Robert 1,383]

Hope it is based on the Hasegawa Skyraider.

Wouldn't it be better based on the 'real thing' rather than plagerising another manufacturer?

swordmodels.cz is the only relevant webpage regarding news about their models, although there is no rule as such, after first pics of the sprues appear on mentioned webpage, release date is more or less 1-2 months away.
