ProResin Fairey Delta 1 and Bristol 188

[Hobbes]

There's a notice on the Dutch IPMS site that ProResin has announced these models in 1/72.


I can't find any other information on this company, so I've no idea about availability etc.

Its actually Olimp Models Harro, ProResin is just their resin range.

In addition to the FD1 there is also another resin Bristol Type 188 and a Super Pinto as well as a nice Gnat/Ajeet selection.

On the British post war prototype front, they've previously released the Avro 707A & 707C & Boulton Paul P.111 & P.120.  Not cheap by any stretch, but they're supposed to be very nice models.

On this side of the pond you can get these at Joe's Models, he's sort of the North American version of Lonewulf Models, lots of obscure resin stuff:

Chatting with Joe a couple of times I got the impression that he has some connection with a couple of the companies he has on his website (IIRC Olimp was one of them) and he told me a lot of the subjects were because of him supplying references.  BTW, if you're looking for any references on a particular subject, drop him a line, apparently he has a huge library.  He was able to send me a 3-View dwg of the Spitfire Mk.I Floatplane which I had hunted high and low for.

I've built a couple of Olimp/ProResin kits and can confirm their quality. They are up there with Czech Master in my opinion. Expensive but very nice

Oooooh single seat Gnats.....

Eeeeeeeeek the price.......

Special Hobby are due out a 1/72 Gnat too.  It's described as a 'Gnat Mk.I' so it could be either single or two seat.  I've heard reports of both, so I couldn't tell you which.
