Look what surfaced on SCALEMODELS.RU!

"Monitor" over on flugzeugforum.de found this:

It'll possibly be beautiful, possibly be flawed but guaranteed to be expensive!

Thanks for sharing.

Finally a decent Sea Vixen in 1/72nd and an FAW1 to boot (expect FAW2 to follow in 6-12 mths time) .

Heres the poster from the Cyberhobby website :-

However its not officailly announced as yet on that site or the main Dragon one ?

Indeed, being Dragon it would probably be cheaper to buy a real one, but then it wouldn't go through the hatch to my loft.....

I thought the Hiplanes Vixen was the quite decent and injection moulded, as well.  

This one looks well, "odd" if the fuselage contours on the model match the painting.

Getting hold of a High Planes one is quite tricky, that's the problem.


This one will no doubt be eye-wateringly pricy, though probably rather nice. I'd rather Airfix scaled their 1:48 kit down to be honest.

[The Wooksta!]

Judging by the cost of the Meteor, I'd put money on the Airfix 48th kit being the cheaper option.  I wouldn't part with any cash as A: I've a High Planes one anyway and that's good enough for a detailed one, and B for whiffing, the Frog/Novo one is a better option anyway.

And finally following on from last years LCS-2 & 4 trimaran kits Cyberhobby have now announced the other LCS design LCS-1 USS Freedom.

Bought dang time!!!  I can finally build a non-Whiff ship with that kit (USS Detroit LCS-7).  Can't wait till she's completed and makes stops along the St. Claire and Detroit Rivers on its way to the Atlantic (hopefully she makes the stops, only appropriate as she'd be passing through her namesake).

Dragon/Cyber-hobby are doing a 1:200 Vulcan B.2: http://www.hlj.com/product/cyvch2011

Sprue shots here:

Due any time.

That might make a lot of wilder whiffs an economic possibility....

[The Wooksta!]

I'd stick with the Airfix one as they're not that expensive to start with and generally can be picked up for about a tenner or so second hand.

Personally, I'd prefer a good injection 1/144 scale one.  1/200 is a bit small for my liking.  I have enough problems seeing the 1/144 pieces!

Dragon's little floaty Ka-Mi is available for review.
