Homebee Posted December 26, 2021 Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) In late Q1 2022 Air-Graphics expects to release a 1/72nd Westland Wasp HAS.1 resin kit - ref. AIRK-7201 Source: https://www.facebook.com/airgraphicmodels/posts/2412599502207238 Quote Thank you for all the get well soon messages. On the mend and glad I had the booster jab a few weeks ago as I am sure this helped keep the worst of Covid at bay. Something to temp you all with for late Q1 2022. New 1/72 Scale full resin kit of the Westland Wasp so you don't have to go looking for the Airfix Scout kits. This is producted in conjunction with BaxMod (https://www.facebook.com/BaxMod-UK-106937501143509/) and incorporates fully detailed interior, engine sets etc. plus new VacForm canopy. CS-07 Wasp Conversion set will still be available as will the seperate Wasp and Scout details sets. Weapons sets will also still be available. We are also looking at a full kit of the Scout. V.P.

LN-KEH Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 The box top says injection molded, while the text says resin. If the production runs are as small as 20, then resin is more likely. 1
bigbadbadge Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Anyone got theirs yet ? If so what is the kit like, any pics ? really looking forward to getting one. Chris

Their original facebook announcement from 2017 said kit "will be injection moulded with resin details....produced in cooperation with another model company"
bigbadbadge Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 Has anyone got theirs yet, we're they at Telford?
Trenton guy Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 Ordered mine month’s ago. Supposedly one of 20 “in stock”. Still no sign of it. Inquired once, also months ago. Got a response. Shipping next week. That, and nothing more to paraphrase Shelley. 1
bigbadbadge Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 Really looking forward to seeing it when it arrives, ordered mine a while ago too (in June). The site does say sickness will cause delays.
Planebuilder62 Posted November 19, 2022 Posted November 19, 2022 There was one boxed up kit on their stand at Telford on Saturday morning but it got sold very quickly. regards Toby 1
JamesP Posted November 20, 2022 Posted November 20, 2022 I bought the last one from the show. I think the instructions are meant to be online as there were none in the box. Gary seemed to have issues getting them to appear on the website when I asked. Going to ask him to email them to me directly as they’ve still not appeared. Everything is there but the mouldings aren’t the cleanest I’ve seen. A few parts show tell-tell 3D printing artefacts. Note decals must be bought/sourced separately. 1

Could you post up some pictures of the parts, including the clear parts, it would be really good to see what is in the box and what the kit comprises of. 1

As you wish One of the clear resin doors has a flaw where the flash appears to have folded over onto the windscreen and fused -I'm happy that it can be sanded and polished out. Lots of flash but very few bubbles. Hot water will be needed to flatten may thin parts. The cockpit is very well detailed. The engine is crisp and looked better than the test shot on Freightdogs stand. As with any resin kit, I'll be looking to replace load bearing structs with brass if possible and may use the Airfix rotor hub/blades if suitable to avoid long term droop! Note no ordinance. I'm sure AMP will release one before I get anywhere near this. I do think it's a real issue with Air-Graphics that the website doesn't have images of what you are buying in a lot of cases and previously I've only bought their decals.

JamesP Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 Despite repeated requests for the instructions I’ve had no further replies and they have not appeared on the website. I get that he has a full time job and there can be delays and mistakes, but 4 months have passed now. A real shame that someone undermines a good product with poor customer service. the instructions for the Airfix conversion set are available on the website and appear to be excellent with lots of reference material, which somehow makes it even more annoying
Trenton guy Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 Consider yourself lucky. I still don’t have my kit and I ordered more than 4 months ago.

BazJ Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 I got this kit months ago and am still waiting for an Instruction Sheet. Anyone found a location for it or have news about when it might appear? 1
