1/72 versions would be very nice.  I would be helpful to have some to make WHIF pylons for these A/C.

Nice box art.

Candidate for a carrier based gunship maybe? :wacko:

Indeed it is, especially since I've been looking for the ancient 1/72 version for just the same reason.

I wasn't aware of an injection C-2.  I know of and have a Falcon vacuform conversion though.  I also know of a hideously IMO expensive RVHP resin/vacuform one.  Are those the ones you mean?

Nope.  Was referring to the old Testors C-2A kit from the 80's.  I can't seem to find it online, but I've got one of those old catalogs they included with their kits showing a C-2 in 1/72.

I seem to remember a Testors C-2 being announced but did they ever release the kit? Italeri announced kits in their catalogue that never appeared or took several years to appear (1/48th Hawk) and we're all still waiting for the Airfix Nautilus and twin-fin EAP!

I suppose now wouldn't be the time to mention that the second decal sheet is automatically wrong, no? It amy bne a little JMN of me but the CS2F/CP121s were different than any other Trackers -- they were a foot and a half shorter. It's actually noticeable in 1/72, so in 1/48...

Hopefully Belcher does a conversion kit. I've always wanted to do a proper Canadian Tracker but the conversion is a pain, and attempts have cost me several Hobbycraft and Hasegawa kits over the years...

The bumf for the second sheet also mentions an Italeri kit:  Idon't know if that can build the Canuck ones?  :unsure:

Anyway, even if you shorten the standard kit to make a canuck tracker, you're still going to need decals for it!

;D As well as the Airfix Chinook!! ( I think the one they DID release was an Italeri original?) Would have been huge whif potential in that twin-fin EAP! ;D

Latest announcement on Cybermodeler is a 1/35th Oshkosh MRAP M-ATV (seems to have been pushed back to January 2012) and the 1/48th A-6E intruder. http://www.cybermodeler.com/news/kinetic1.shtml

They're in for a long job then considering there are at least 12 different variants!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

You can do that RW anyway as the GR1s used 'Ferry Tips' sometimes.

Mind you a Harrier PR1 could look good with longer wings, hmmm......  ;)
