Hannants have this in:



http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RSMI9274

Always struck me as a more logical layout for the P-39.....



Got this in too; not a whiff in itself, but damned pretty and comes with a float option too:

I've got their resin Airabonita. They appear to be working through the resin catalogue and converting them to plastic.

Hope they get round to the Marton X/V soon, though I'll probably bash a couple of Bf109's and a Saab 21 together before that happens.

Latest from Hannants. Interesting, but scary prices...


Ju-86R:

Ju-86P:



http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RSMI9277

There's also a slew of D.520s on there in various different schemes, but I don't think they're new. They've also listed an Airspeed Envoy, then apologised because it's not out yet...

RS are gradually converting their old resin kits into IP. Got the resin 88P in the stash. As far as I recall it wasn't much more expensive back then then the IP one is now.

I can't remember them having done D520's before and the Envoy is almost certainly new

Some more detail on the Ju-86s along with the D.520s.

Along with some others including an RE.2005 to go with Panther's recent profiles.

Big H has zero stock of both the Ju-86s just now, not that I'd be buying one at that price even though they both have long wings!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Here's a oddball one: Doflug 3802 in 1/72nd:



http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RSMI9288


BTW, the reason I put Hannants links up to these isn't because I particularly support them or their pricing, it's because:

a) They're kits which are definately available, not vaguely timed "future releases",

b) Hannants send out a nice newsletter e-mail with all the new stuff on it: I don't have time to peruse half-a-dozen websites lookimg for bits of news.

Airabonita - different aircraft, taildragger.

I had a look at the previous boxing of the prototype and it's used the same masters as the resin version I think, which was nice.

I ordered this boxing from the Big H on Thursday, waited for it after being given a nod and a wink that it would be released by our "own" Panther G who by the look of it provided at least two of the camoflage profiles  :thumbsup:

Ive got the Flettner in my stash. One of the options is the one now being rebuilt at the Midland Air Museum. (the only known survivor of the species).

Ive also got the Huma kit, and the RS one looks a lot nicer. Even thou it is more complex.

I always hope for the best.

Rare bird for SCW fans: an Airspeed Envoy in three different boxings with  with different engines and variously  Spanish Nationalist and Republican markings and a whole host of others too:

Those RS guys produce some good stuff indeed.

I forsee a decal sheet forthcoming from someone for the 'Royal Envoy' that was flown by the Kings Flight in the 1930s perhaps.

At Telford last year I bought the RS Ju-86R direct from their stand at a CONSIDERABLE discount from Hannant's price only a few yards away. Nicely moulded and a LOT of plastic for the money too, and of course it even comes with long wings!  ;) :lol:
