Nice! 

That'd make a perfect drone, or you could scale-o-rama the 1/48th one to 1/72nd to make a multi-seater.

[renax]

Its a two seater indeed...

A Long-EZ? One of my fave aircraft of all time! Magic stuff, I've just got to get one.

I'm tempted with the X-31 - Luftwaffe if they'd bailed out of Eurofighter, which they nearly did at one point.

I thought to Hawker/BAe P.1216


ou Eurocopter X3

BAe P.1216 would be nice, if its reasonably priced.

[Hobbes]

For the P.1216 you should talk to Martin H, he created a basic kit (airframe only; the landing gear and canopy had to be sourced from other kits) a few years ago.

The P.1216 would sell well here in the UK I suspect.. The similar P.1214 X-wing appears quite frequently at shows here.

I agree, I may be a (happy) purchaser too... (if 1/72 or 1/144, not 1/48)

[Weaver]

In principle I'd like a P.1216 kit but I'm afraid there's no way I can be paying typical resin kit prices at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising: I know how much work and up-front cost is involved, it's just that I flatly can't justify spending that kind of money on one kit at the moment. If my finances improve in the future, then there's a long list of resins I want, and this would be on the list.

Got one of Martin's P.1216 ---

And Fantastic Plastic did/does a 1/72 P.1214, got one of those too.  Plus I got an extra canopy for it, but to put on the P.1216

[renax]

I just mailed martin,we'll see.

Resin is expensive yes, one of the days, I may produce a plastic kit, but have not the good partner at the moment.

[Thorvic]

Yeap the P1216 would be good, I actually scratch built a couple which Martin used to do his Garage Kit that others have picked up. Mine were built on the data we had on-line and from Tony Buttlers British Secret Projects.
However Mike Price (aka Harrier) has done a book on the P1216 in the ProjectTech profiles series which has some very detailed drawings and photographs/artwork which should allow for a more detailed and accurate model

http://harrier.org.uk/P1216.htm

If you contact Mike directly he should be able to sort out some the drawings so you can print them to scale rather than copy them from the book.

Cheers
