What's the betting the first Whiff is a Turbo-Provost?  ;)

Forget that, let's put a jet in it! Oh, wait...

I'd be keen for a Provost, I built the Matchbox one a while ago but bashed it into a sorta kinda CAC Winjeel as an RAAF Vietnam FAC. I'd like a new-mould one.

Where's my beer ?

Pricey for the size of kit at £15, nature of short run, looks good regardless.

Mel's announced another project with Micro-Mir, a 1/48 kit.  That's all he's saying at the moment....
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.

Too much honour - it was only an armed version for Belize, with a beefed up radial. But a turboprop version with a longer nose to maintain the CoG should look interesting, too.  ;D

I have my hands on the first of the provosts to escape from captivity. no decals or instructions, and it has to be real, as its will hopefully be on the S & M stand at telford.
The kit comes fully suited and booted for the Rhodesian armed provosts. So no prises for guessing who's markings its going to be wearing once built
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Trevor had better start saving now.  Hmm - AEW version?  More space than a Shackleton and the Hastings fleet were all re-sparred in the mid 60s, just around the time the Valiants were being pulled from service.

I'm sorry about this but I've just had visions of our own dear Rad in full "Rocky Gear" standing behind the S&M stand as a sales assistant. Perfect counterpoint to the owners normal very, very smart turnout  :wacko: :blink:

Am I missing something re the name or is it that by simply commenting on it again I've proved its worth ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Hannants have S&M's Bristol Sycamore kits in. Since they've done this, I wonder if they're considering a decent Belvedere?
