Oh man, they've got a Do.26 on the list - only the prettiest flying boat ever...... :wub:

Blimey, some of the other stuff there is mind blowing too.

BOTH types of Tradewind, the Hughes Spruce Goose (in 1/72....!) every version of the Il-18 they ever made and the V-12 chopper. That's just the first page! Ann an An-225 in 1/144 scale (Do I have a shelf large enough?)

But WHY WON'T THEY DO A QSRA BUFFALO to go with all their other Buffalos?  :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I so want to splice the XC-8A's air-cushioned landing system onto the QSRA airframe: "we land anywhere we want, on anything we want...." :mellow:

The QSRA bird would be ultra-cool !

The Yak-130 would be neat to see as well.

Price, space and availability all tell against the monster kits for me.  I have a couple of Amodel smaller kits but until I figure out an easy way to do bare metal they'll stay in the box.   :-\

Tradewind and Do 26  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks for posting Redstar72
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Beech Starship and XB-60 for me, please (since I've already done penance with the Mach 2 Do-26) :mellow:
All hail 1:72!

I wonder how their Do 26 will compare to Mach 2's, both in quality and price.

The Buran full stack on Energia in 1/72nd scale is out, and of course the price is eye waterring  :o

Strewth, it's got to be HUGE too! That booster looks larger than a Shuttle Main Tank!  :o

I wonder why thy bother with the odd penny, why not say it costs £400 and be done with it?

Here's a new one, a Bo-105: no more searching around for the old Airfix kit:

Hannants also have 1/3 off some 40-odd A-model kits at the moment:

£15.80 is too steep for me, need to see a review to check if it's got much over the Airfix kit. From the boxart it seems to be almost the same version as Airfix except for the skids and aerials.
Have 4 Airfix in the the stash bought for around a fiver each inc postage on ebay over the last couple of years.
