What aftermarket kits or re-releases would you like to see?

Airfix has released the RB-57, but they could do the longer winged RB-57 D /E version . Mach2 do a kit but if it's anything like the Br1150 Atlantic , would give it a miss.

The Mach 2 B-57 kit is the VERY long winged RB-57F. I have one, needless to say, and it's not TOO bad but it suffers from the usual Mach 2 problems like a pebble-dashed canopy and totally inadequate instructions.

I have a vague idea that Oz-Mods do the slightly shorter winged RB-57D, perhaps one of our Australian members could confirm or deny that for me?

Dunno about shorter wing but they do, do the RB-57D:



In real life it's 105 ft versus the 122 ft of the RB-57F.

Well it's shorter than an RB-57F, but then most aircraft are. 

Glad my thoughts were correct, I've got the DB models RB-57D vacform/resin conversion kit but it needs a 'normal' B-57 as a starter, either Airfix or Italeri, but I don't have either in The Loft.

Is that RB-57D wing the one you used for your Canberra PR9 prototype Brian?

Yes, it is, Kit and they are mighty pieces of plastic, I can assure you.  Like all High Planes' Canberras they don't use tongue and slot to attach to the fuselage but rather a recess in the fuselage side like the old Frog/Novo kits did, so making them fit modern Airfix Canberras is a bit tricky.   The fuselage on the High Plane's RB-57D is basically a standard B-57B BTW.
