I've a suspicion some outfit is Chris, Model Alliance has got a 1/72 sheet out which includes a Sentinel and when I quizzed Model Alliance and Hannants about it, all I got was a very vague answer which didn't say anything, and actually Model Alliance didn't even bother to acknowledge my email.

I assume this is 1/72, and the cockpit and tail are from the Matchbox kit?

It's 1:144, the nose is from the Revell Canadair CL-604, the tail is scratchbuilt from balsa wood.  I've looked into using the tail from that kit, but the profile is too different to get away with.

Did Matchbox do a 1/72 Challenger?

As far as I know there's only three manufacturers that do a 1/72 Challenger, Execuform (vac) and Leading Edge and Luedemann Resin (both resin)

Broplan does one too.

Is that a recent release Thomas, it doesn't show in my book.

I'm not sure if it was Broplan, but i've seen one in the LHS. It was from an obscure Danish-Swedish company. I think it was Broplan, since the shop also had the RDAF Gulfstream III kit by Broplan.

Broplan do a GIV, which in a dark room may look a bit like a Global Express........  -_-
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

The differences between a G-IV and a Challenger and a Global Express is the same as the differences between a 737-300 and a 737-700 :thumbsup: I wouldn't make that mistake
