Just read in the July edition of the Airfix mag that FP are releasing the BAE/Hawker P1214 'X-wing' Harrier varient in Resin. Decals for 800 or 899 NAS, but no colour scheme details; we've gotta figure that out and no idea as to price either.

Update - Bugger, according to the website, it looks like it was released last year, but still no price of the FP website....

Ummm, this one?

Been thinking about it but much prefer P.1216.

I love this 1930's/40's Sci Fi stuff 

Now are they going to do the version in Flesh Gordon

Probably not, although I'm sure you can get something suitable for conversion in plastic from an alternative source......

My goodness, the memories come flooding back!  One of the best parodies ever made IMO.

Absolutely - soft porn it may be (or was back then anyway) but so funny

I've got one of the Flash Gordon ships and it is most excellently done!

The castings are exceptionally clean and well rendered.  The fuselage comes in two pieces and is hollow!  It also features mounting stops for the cabin flooring pieces.  Nicely thought out!

Continuing on their theme of spaceships seen on screens, Allen has also released the XRV from "Marooned."

It too is exceptionally well rendered and cleanly moulded!

Both of those are pretty cool ! The old school Flash Gordon rocket especially.

Cool, and a possible purchase as it's not CAD/mastered by that psycho Fascist-Libertarian douche-bag Scott Lowther.
I've skipped a number of FP releases because of his involvement

Seriously?

I wondered how long it would take for this to finally be modelled! Very, very cool.
