cngaero Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Thank you Valom. Valom are slowly becoming my favourite manufacturer, given habit of releasing a steady stream of long awaited British designs. I can't wait to see what's next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Wish I had left my Magna kit in the box. Do I need another Flamingo? What next from Valom, a Hastings would be nice? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Great news! The "Lady of Hendon" (serial R2765, 24 Sq RAF) On 10/16/2021 at 8:56 PM, Homebee said: was used in some trips of Polish prime minister on exile gen. W. Sikorski. Next one - Blackburn Botha, please! Then Warwick maybe? And DH 86? Victoria? - not exactly, I have bought one by Contrail Regards J-W 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hoooo--nice! Kudos to Valom! Pity that the film-makers of "Darkest Hour" did not at least TRY to mimic a DH-95 in their depictions of PM Churchill's multiple Channel crossings. Instead, they used a lend-lease C-47, which was not even in use in 1940. Ahem....must have this! I'd say this augers well for releases of other British multi-engine types. Please, everyone, do your part to support Valom! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Yes, a Warwick would be nice and would suit Valoms' style of multiple boxings 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt-92 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Cool. This and the to be released Op Varsity C-46 are making it on the list...

Or employ a visual effects studio to "do it in post" along with a physical part fuselage section for closeup work. But I know mentioning CGI on aviation forums is an invitation for all sorts of flak so I'll see myself out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve built one, got several in the stash. Fairly typical of the modern limited run sort of kit, just needing a bit of modelling experience and the usual tools.
