Would have liked the landies in 72/76th but should go down well with the 48th builders

would have prefered to see them in a proper scale like 1/35 but then they wouldnt have been able to make the things quick enough!!.....if it was 1/24 i would have been 'having a moment'

Why do them in 1/35th when Hobbyboss are about to issue the WMIK nad have the defender lined up for later in 2011.

I am most excited by the Swordfish.  Got to get the spider trained to do the rigging.

Will probably also grab a P-40 and Zero.  Will pick up one of the Vals to use for parts on one of my Tora, Tora, Tora builds.

Having had an Angel Interceptor kit in the past, probably won't get one of the new ones.  Now, if they would do a Moon Based Interceptor from UFO :wub:.

I also would have loved some new smaller scale Rovers but since I prefer 72nd over 76th, probably wouldn't matter.  Will check out their new building kits as always looking for something to add to a dio.

With you on that one. Dinky did one years ago but that was a diecast. Would love to get one of the new Angel Interceptors though as I made such a mess of the first one I had.

The last Angel Interceptor I had was built as a SAL (Scottish Aviation Ltd. would you believe!) Dirk F1.

Like the news of a nice Gnat T.1, I can think of at least a couple of projects to make resin sets for that!

Mmmm, Gnat!  Like others I'd love an F.1 & Ajeet if they ever get around to them.

I got all excited when I saw a Super Cooper in 1/32, just a shame it's a MINI rather than a Mini.  I'd echo Geoff's call for the Landies in 1/76.  Might just pick up a Chippy re-release.

Not my scale, but I'm looking forward to seeing the 1/48 Merlin, it'll be an impressive beast on club stands.
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.

Some interesting stuff! :thumbsup: Nice to see the 1/48 Lightning making a comeback.
Particularly looking forward to the 1/48 Landies and the troops.  :party: Would be nice to see other manufacturers release more 1/48 modern armour.

That 1/48 Merlin is gonna be huge!  :o

The Gnat is also pretty cool. Don't think many would have anticipated such a type. With any luck this means we may hope for scale-downs to 1/72 of the 1/48 Lightning and Sea Vixen some nice day.
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

At last! I can finally own an Angel interceptor.

Be careful what you wish for!  It's not quite as good a kit as you might think.  On balance, I think the Imai kit (IF you can find one of them!) is marginally better, apart from the horribly thick trailing edges.

I wonder if they're just releasing the Angel Interceptor as was, or if they've re-worked the tool a bit. It would be nice if it had an actual pointed nose this time, instead of the Pinnochio job on the original.
