Unfortunately the FD2 is in the wrong scale.


True, but even today the old FROG one isn't that bad.

They do seem to be re-doing Airfix's old kit list, what with the Chippies, the Gosling and Kingfisher, but all them NEEDED re-doing!

Those Robison choppers will be TINY! I have a Pavla R-22 and I'm scared to even open the box!  :o

I'll take both the Cessnas and the L-200 morava.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Yup, I have fond memories of those old Airfix kits and am interested to see what they do with them

No, it simply means the FD-2 will finally be available at a proper size.  :thumbsup:

I'm very pleased with the R44 and R22 (saves tracking down the Pavla one), but I hope they are actually released this year: the Cessna 180/185 was announced at least two years ago!

The MB "Sea Baker" is now in at the Big H.

Also in are two boxings of the V tail Me 109 in operational markings. May well get one of these if I see them at the shows I'll be at in the next month or so.

Presumably that's the standard sprues with naval decals, is it? Mine had a hooked section as an option for the fin.

Yes Kit. Someone has posted the transfer options and box art on site somewhere.

Scaleorama it into a 1/72nd two-seat interceptor with an Olympus (one was proposed as a half-way house to the F.155T project). :wacko:

One to look out for. Slightly impractical with that undercarriage layout I would have thought, but what the heck  ;D

They'd have had to change the arrester hook after every flight, it'd be WELL annealed!  :o

Or have a couple of crewman standing by with buckets of water to quench it. If they remembered their colour codes correctly they could harden it nicely after every flight. Now is it cornflower or straw when I should chuck the water over it ?  ;D And yes I know it's probably neither but I don't know where my chart is and they sound nice  ;)
