1/48 Martin Baker MB-5 (well, got to be one silly one in there!)

Careful, or they'll re-issue a P-51D with different decals...........

Me I want a CV-90 in any dam scale thats not resin.
So is 'udders going to be a trannie day out then if Rad is off to RH?

[ChernayaAkula]

How about a new 1/72 Mirage III or 5? To go along with the new Shars?

Well, Academy was supposed to release a CV90 in 1/35 this year. But nothing has come of that so far....

There is not a cat in hells chance of the results being published Nev,

I just wondered if anyone had heard a whisper of what was popular

Not a chance, thats why the lists were good for modellers as it allowed them to see what was popular which inspired similar suggestions, the downside was that Revell would send people to have a look and report back as well.

The first we'll hear is when reps start dropping hints at certain LMS's or when they announce next years new releases Dec/Jan for the trade shows.

Hey! I resemble that remark!  

...if thats what does it for you Chris, I can wear a skirt and sit on your lap taking dictation at Huddersfield.....  

Whats your speed Dunc ? Maybe I can dictate the Newsletter ? 

Strangely I wanted a MB 5 as well but in 1/72, plus a Beaufort (I know there's a SH one - I've got it) and a late Seafire

High Planes do a Beaufort in injection, actually they do five different ones plus I think they do a Beaufreighter too. Here's a link to one of them.

Appreciate that. I've a couple of High Planes kits but not the Beaufort. It would just be nice to have a mainstream kit as the SH one is a little tricky

Is there any word on when the 1/72 Harrier FA2 will be released? Hannants still lists this as 'future release', but I seem to remember the plan was to introduce it at Telford...

[kitnut617]

It's included in the 2010 Club kit set which I think gets released first.

Was about to ask that very question, because I saw on 1999.CO.JP that the FA.2 and FRS.1 have the release given as "March".

[Thorvic]

I would think mid to late Jan if not this month as i think the Mossie is next up along with the Mig-15, so the SHARs are likely to be on the next batch.

I wouldn't go with Japanese estimates as those are based on model being delivered to UK and then re-distributed to overseas customers by container ship (aka 6 weeks).

Given the new moulds due out as oppossed to the re-issues, there are a number that are now just about ready going off the SMW stand so they should start to appear over the coming months:- SHAR FRS-1, FA2, Hurricane, Mig-15, Churchill bridgelayer, Illustrious, Trafalgar and the big mossie. Basically the cant do them all in one run for various reasons due two production limits, shipping, marketing and distribution, let alone pay out for all this in one go !!!

can't find anythin' on the 1/48 sea vixen on the airfix site, anyone know anything?

[Thorvic]

The Sea Vixen in 48th is the 2010 special release so not covered under the 2009 releases on the website.

BTW the Churchill Bridgelayer is now released.
