I was hoping you'd had news. I should've guessed with your use of the not-so-smiley.

Love those Guardians. They have them ( out or coming out ) in 72nd scale as well no ? Thought I saw them on the West Coast Hobbies site.

Ace models did the Guadian in 72nd, which has been reboxed by another eastern block manufacturer

[Captain Canada]

OK Thanks Geoff. I searched through the West Coast site and indeed they are 48th scale.

I think RVHP did them in resin ?

Someone did. Not sure if it was RVHP but I used to have a couple.

....and the Viggen is finally out. Looks superb but only a build review will tell.

Might have to get me one of those too, I've got a Maintrack Midge in the stash, along with the Airfix Gnat Trainer so would all go well together ---

Must admit it would make an ideal aircraft fro a reborn RAuxAF

Holy crap, the next boxing of the Gnat F.1 is going to have Hotshots "The Navy" markings!

SH72322 Folland Gnat F Mk.I  British Single Seaters 1/72

The British Folland Gnat light jet fighter was evaluated also by the RAF, but only its two-seat trainer version known as the Gnat T.1 entered the RAF service. The flight tests of the F.1 version took rather long time during which various colour schemes were applied to the machines. The most attractive of them are presented in our superbly detailed model, which as you most probably already know is injected within steel moulds. The decal sheet brings you also markings for so-called Oscar EW-5894 Phallus fictional machine famous from an early 90´s spoof of heroic aviation movies.

The model itself comes with three sprues with plastic parts, one clear plastic sprue and contains also a couple of resin parts for various antennae and air intakes that were characteristic for pre-production and trial machines.
