A 1/72 Wildcatfish!!!

Hope its better than the crap Academy kit and not a re-box.

The Academy kit wasn't that bad, just a little basic. It's a copy of the old Frog one, as was the Avenger and Ventura.

Improved or clean copies, I would say

Thanks for that link Redstar

SU 3 and the Yak 200 for me. I'll probably get 1 of the Beriev's to go with some of my 1/144 Anigrand stff - always liked them.

Definitely the Su-3 and Yak-200 for me. The Berievs are really tempting, too.

A nice selection there. The Berievs would be sweet.

Nice but really should be 1/72.

Now that looks interesting!

Been waiting for a decent Be-12 for ages.
Modelimex.com (LINK) says 18 EUR. Not too bad!

Gekko did a couple of cool profiles for Egyptian, RAF, Indonesian and Finnish Mails (LINK). Now I just have to decide which one.

I thought it was a fat baseball bat at first........

I saw an 1/72 A Model Tu-144 kit on Roger Wallsgroves stand at Southern Expo today too (£150.00 or so....) It's built in the same fashion as the Brab, but a tad smaller of course (but not much!) The workmanship on the all-in-one-piece fibreglass fuselage is magnificent, better than many 'glass R/C boat hulls I've seen. I don't know how they do it, but I can't imagine it's just hand-laid, there must be some pressure resin injection process involved. Whatever they do, it's darned impressive!

I'd be more interested in a Tu-144 than a Brabazon I must admit. Both though, fill me with trepidation as to storage - both unbuilt and built! How long was the Tu-144.

Think Airfix 72nd Concorde and you're in the balllpark.
