Wonder if they are going to do a 1/48 Tiger moth too

I picked up the late version IL-40 the other day. Looks good in the box and is on the "next to build after the current crop" list  :thumbsup:

I think it's not very probable. The 1/48 Tiger Moth was produced by Smer, Aeroclub, and is now announced by Special Hobby. AModel prefers to make models which aren't produced by anybody.

Here you can see a preview of DH-60 (one of them):

Hmm, they do Jason.  Amy Johnson is a local heroine, in fact Jason was kept at Hedon aerodrome about a mile from were I live (just a field now).  I don't normally do 1/48 but I might have to pick that one up.  It's a sight cheaper than the 1/72 Omega kit & a DH 60 isn' going to take up too much shelf space in 1/48!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Oh dear, there goes the neighbourhood!

I'll have to build some bigger shelves.........

I saw that, how did I forget to post about it????  If I ever get the lottery win, the time needed to build them & the warehouse to store them in, I'll buy several.

It may not be big to you guys who live on the west side of the Pond, but to us Brits we'll STILL need to build bigger shelves....  -_- ;D

Yeah, if I had the warehouse to fit them in, the time to build them & the lottery win to buy them, I'd build several!

Dunno what you're all fussing about. all you do is get a couple of RSJ's for reinforcement and then hang them from the ceiling.. :mellow: :mellow: :mellow:

I notice it was a test airframe for the Me-309's undercart config, hence the outward retraction.

I also notice that Amodel are releasing a Yak-141 'Freestyle' in 72nd.
