Consolidated B-32 Dominator

Tupolev  TU-4

Douglas C-74

Vickers Warwick

Heinkel He-277

Avro Lincoln

Avro Manchester

F-108 Rapier

Bristol Brigand

To the the best of my knowledge, none of these have ever been subject of IM kits.

Happy as ever though to stand corrected.

All aircraft naturally should be in the one true (1/72) scale!😊

Ps, has anyone ever done a radial engined Whitley? Would it be feasible to modify the Airfix kit?

Valom has released kits of the Brigand TF.1, B.1 and T.4 as well as the Buckingham and Buckmaster,  all still readily availabe.  FLY have produced a kit of the Whitley MkI-II which is also still available.

For many, many days.... I'd have more than a couple of 1/32 Jag's if someone did the honours. After picking up a couple of Italeri's 1/32 Tornado's I'd be quite happy if they could produce a Jag to the same standard.

A Gloster Javelin FAW5 in 1/72 would be nice. I don't think there has been a single pen nib tail Javelin in 72nd or 48th except the Heller T3 which is quite different from all the fighters.


Yes to this, though preferably 1/48 for me. A Jav FAW1 would be nice too.

1/32 SEPECAT Jag that would do me thanks.

Sadly the one that was moooted a few years ago sunk without trace along with a Buccaneer. Also I think Tanmodel were considering a 1/32 F-111 which also won’t happen. I’m beginning to think the same will befall the HK Models 1/32 UK Phantom

 

Maybe some should start a thread for “what might have been”?

Hawk issed an FAW.1 sometime in the '50s and the kit was reissued several times for at least a decade. It also appeated in a Testors box in the mid '90s.

Being as old as the real aircraft this is of course not a kit on par with todays standard, actually it's not even on par with the Heller kit, coming from an era when landing gears attached directly into the aircraft belly and so on...

I almost bought one a few years ago though, for some reason I thought that it would have been a good idea trying to improve the kit with parts from a Heller kit... then I realised that my money would have been better spent on something else
