1/72 - Fairey Delta FD.1 by Dora Wings ? - rumour

[Homebee]

Some days ago Dora Wings released a new tool 1/72nd Fairey Delta FD.2 kit (thread).

And herebelow the Dora Wings season's greetings postcard... With a Fairey Delta FD.1 !

Looks like a subliminal message to me. So just a rumour. To be followed.

Or maybe someone at Dora Wings just used the wrong photo?

That would be fantastic news!

And someone has already posted it on Scalemates to be The First One 

 

Because of someone's stupid ambition, Scalemates will be an increasingly unreliable place, presenting rumours as facts there.

 

I suppose that "someone" is reading this thread. And I hope that maybe he will get to see how utterly stupid he is acting.

Oh no, there might be a wrong date or something on a thing about plastic kits...Xmas is ruined!

Welcome to the Internet. 
Hey. at least it isn't classified documents concerning a weapons system.

All Future Releases are rumours - they only become Fact after they are released!

This part of the site is called 'The Rumourmonger' after all😁

I had suggested they produce one on their Facebook page.. I have the Olimp resin kit. I could start building that. You know what happens when you do things like that...

All experimental Aircaft in 1/72 are welcome...  I hope for a Bristol 188, Avro 707 familly, FD-1 of course and many, many others, not only the British ones...

Well you could just buy the vacforms of all of those from Maintrack Project-X later released as Whirlykits. Often on eBay for reasonable prices.

Hmm! Have you ever tried building one of them...

Yes. Generally very good, especially those designed by Gordon Stevens. Although personally I find the current Ebay prices somewhat less than reasonable, but all things are relative.

Built a couple, and planning on building the Supermarine 545 for the Project Cancelled GB this year. OK, they are vacforms, which so far as I am concerned is an extra stage in building.

I have built some successfully and have a Gloster E.1/44, Avro 707 and Supermarine 525 on the shelf of doom. I think a lot depends on how badly you want one and how critical you are. Things like getting air intakes the right shape and symmetrical are important to me. I have a Supermarine 510 which went together without much trouble but below are a couple of examples which did not

I have also built the Olimp Pro-resin FD 1 which I believe was a copy of the Maintrack version and found much wrong with it

Classified documents are published exclusively on the War Thunder forum.

That was the joke.
