If anyones brave enough here's some drawings including the AEW Nimrod.

I would be very careful with this download, I had all sorts of problems on my computer this morning.  Once I deleted the file, things started to work right again.

I've had two on back-order since late 2005 when they were first announced, actually one in late 2005 and one in early 2006.  Oddly, the one I ordered in 2005 shows up on my recent invoices as still on back-order but the 2006 one doesn't.  I hope I get both.

Horary ... just got a mail that one is on its way to me ... and right an hour later another one arrived !!

... anyone having an idea when an MRA.4 will be out ??   

Chers, Deino

I've heard it's delayed by several years because they've realised the wings don't fit......

Mine arrived today (wednesday). more than worth the walk to the local post office to pick it up

[nev]

Chatting via PM's with Bill Clarke over on Britmodeller, he gets his shops' stock from Hannants. Apparently ALL available staff are on Nimrod packing duties for the rest of this week and next. Which is great news if you've ordered a Nimrod but fairly pants if like me you've ordered a Lancia Stratos  !!

IT'LL NEVER SELL I TELLS YA!  IT'LL NEVER SELL!!

Nice to see the armchair experts proved wrong. 

Again

Don't know if I'll keep mine (if I get it).  Probly only if someone does an AEW3 conversion.

[Thorvic]

Oh i think an AEW3 conversion will be done before the years end - So many have mentioned it i would expect to see a couple announced in the next few weeks  in a race to be first off the mark.

As for sales Airfix have already sold out, they only produced to order levels from the distributors so they have already recouped the costs

Mine is going Grey/White and RAAF to replace their Shackletons...

Looking forward to seeing this.

Regards,

Greg

Ah but what scheme will you do it it Cap'n ?  High Viz Grey/White as per Argus and similiar initinal RAF scheme, Grey scheme as per the CP-140 Aurora or possibly Hemp scheme with two tone CAF roundels or even Hemp or barley Grey with lowvis light blue/Pink CAF roundels 
(Sounds of Todd now trying to pre-order another one or two  )

I see you know my plight all to well ! I think I'll start with one for now, but it will have to be a modern one, so I can add all the cool weaponry !

Hey, what gives?  You guys said you weren't going to do whiff Nimrods when I asked about making decals for them!  Are you now saying I should??

Will have to scour a couple of model shops and see if I can pick pne or two up. It'll probably be about 5 - 10 years before airfix re -release the beast!.
