Been around awhile, but I just noticed this US outfit who do an interesting range of resin accessories and the odd complete kit:

As you might imagine, the bias is towards helicopters, but there's interesting fixed-wing stuff in there too. I found them because their detail set for the Minicraft 1/144th Boeing Stratocruiser was mentioned in a review. This set fixes one of that kit's most galling aspects, it's totally blank engine faces.

Among the complete kits is this rather fabulous 1/72nd Pond Racer, which I love, but will never be able to afford:

That pond racer is very cool, I dare say a scratch bash of some prop aircraft and maybe a small jet would come out similar and for much less cash too.

Hmmm  - 1/72nd BD-5 plus a 1/144th P-38?
