It looks like it comes with a complete hold interior, floor, sides and roof

Don't disagree, but even a modern RAF truckie finish would be good.

Begs for a pair of over-wing jets, per AN-74 & YC-14.

I didn't realise they were IFR capable, but the probe is included in the sprues and the art shows one so fitted.

I can see that appearing on a few other models too.......

Seen the C-27 in the air at this year's ILA. I say stick a couple of 20mm guns in the front and use it as a strafer.  Damn, but that thing is manoeuvrable.  Awesome display!

Did they shelve the plans for the mini-Spectre yet?

[Mossie]

I think it needs some ELINT/SIGINT lumps & bumps.

DO NOT WANT!!!

Wait, yes, I do.

Notice the engines are completely seperate to the wings, so thats an ideal source for Turbo props (eh ChrisNord) as it looks like well see a RR powered G222 at a later date. The clean wing will allow us lot to fit any sort of engines be they pistols, turboprop, turbojets, turbofans, over wing. lift engine pods or even tilt wings.

I knew it!  I just start planning how to scratchbuild one and of course, they go and announce the release of one!   

I was planning on using 1/100 Transall wings, a cut down 1/72 Hercules fuselage and engines.

Looks nice.  Will buy, if a reasonable price.

Now that would be a more-mini-than-strictly-neccessary mini-gunship.........

[The Wooksta!]

Would it be a reasonable donor for an HS 681 deriviative?

Thinking more DH-129 

[The Wooksta!]

I was thinking more the Nimrod wing version of the 681.

So, recoil power, now there's a concept I'd pay to see in action.... Is there an aviation equivalent of the Darwin Awards ?..... The Icarus Trophy, perhaps ?
