Violet Club Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 An Hs-125 Dominie would be welcome in 1/72 as we have only the old Airfix kit at this time ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see a new Dominie from Sword as well, but which doesn't necessarily mean that Sword produces kits which are "state-of-the-art". Although I consider most of their releases as "pleasing" and good value for money, they remain certainly short run kits which require a lot of tender love and care. Nevertheless, a fictional new Sword Dominie would most likely have crispier detail than the chunky Airfix predecessor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I'll need a couple of these. Not sure I need a new Dominie but it would be nice to have new kits of the earlier versions of the 125 - the Matchbox kit seems to go for silly prices these days.

Sword are well known for producing short run kits and most of us have developed the necessary skills and attitudes to cope with them. Even though they are short run kits their surface detail ought to be better than the 50-plus-year-old Airfix kit; some of their other recent products suggest that it would be.

Given the RAF's propensity to apply grey/gray paint to everything the scheme worn by the two BAe 146 C Mk.3s operated by 32 (The Royal) Squadron is probably a good starting point. I think it might be an overall Camouflage Grey colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulliver Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Tere is only one impotant question will the kit be equipped whith panting masks and foto etch plate? Past kits U-125 not allways were equipped whith these besties of modeller. The launch of retails awated on the end of October. THe kit are C-29A/BAe-125/800 number is SW72141.

Grayhawk Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 This is awesome. Now I can do a C-29A without converting and add it to my "Special Use" aircraft collection!!! Thanks Sword!!! Now how about a new Falcon 20 kit!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm just thankful that they're doing this one--happy for whatever I can get, as it's an attractive machine. As for @Gulliver's question about paint masks and photo-etch, I expect it will have both based on my experiences with the U-125. Looks to me like the engine nacelles are the shorter ones, without thrust reversers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertone139 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Now I want two of these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Three for me! It looks really nice. I have the U-125, which I cannibalized to produce my -700. This "clean" -800 is a definite improvement, because Sword has now included the high pressure turbine exhaust, which was sorely absent from their U-125 boxing. It eliminates the need to use metal tube as a substitute. It also looks like you can go either way on thrust reversers (either have 'em or not). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B. Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Wow, After much hesitating I failed to buy the original U-125A boxings. It for once was the right move because I may be more interested in the new boxing - Civilian Bae 125-800 for me 👏👏👍 This one I will buy...
