Dave Fleming Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Looks like they are from Barrie Hygate's British Experimental jet Aircraft book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hello, the kit is based on Barry Hygates drawings published in British Experimental Jet Aircraft (these are shown in background of photo of the masters), and cross checked on Barry's more recent drawings with more detail added (kindly provided by him). Below is a photo of the assembled test cast; First batch of kits are expected from Hong kong this week, ready for release at Scale Modelworld in November. Thanks.

Paul Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Colin.What is the price of the kit expected to be? Derek According to the guy at the Freightdog stand at Yeovilton, about £35. It looks really good, so a very fair price imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 According to the guy at the Freightdog stand at Yeovilton, about £35. It looks really good, so a very fair price imho. That is a fair price for a resin kit, when you think that the old Airfix/Arii kit of the SR53 constantly sell for around the £30 mark. Will have to add this to my wants list Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was me! Yes hopefully £35 but still waiting on final costs. As usual with Anigrand production it pressure injected resin so pour stubs are small and completely removed on most parts. This will only be available from Freightdog as there is not enough margin to offer it to trade. When you only expect a couple of hundred sales at best, it won't be making anyone rich!

bentwaters81tfw Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Interesting picture. Perhaps I should mount mine on my Valiant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Lime Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Damn you Colin! At a stroke you've rendered the 2 of these I inherited from my late father obsolete. I've got one part finished which I guess he was intending to display in flight (original Airfix I think - plastic is quite strong and was moulded in white and there is a clear plastic stand with it) and another Polish rendition in some silvery coloured soft plastic which I was intending to detail to within an inch of it's life. However, you've gone and produced it all in one convenient package at a reasonable price too! I might have to get myself one of these and treat myself to an early Christmas pressie. This is the second recent release that has superceded something in my stash, now what will the third be?! Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge Hi Serge, Sorry but I cannot sell the decals seperately as the production is limited, and for every sheet I sell on its own that is one less kit I can sell. As for the drawings they are not mine to sell, but if you can find the Barry Hygate book it is definately worth it as it has many good prototype drawings in it. As for nose bay, I have some photo's, here is one; Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Airfix kit is pretty horrible, thankfully I inquired with Airfix to check it was not going to be re-issued and it isn't (infact the moulds are possibly not available anymore). Best thing for it is ebay and quick! Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Now that looks like a nice kit. We actually have a small Walkaround in the walkaround section of this one; http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=72652 Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
