Having recently built the old swordfish i can honestly say this new one is about ten years about time !!

Never have i sworn so much in my life than when building that thing...

Actually, I'd say it's about 20 years overdue.

Having said that, apparently, if you cross kitted the old Frog and Matchbox Swordfishes you'd get a pretty accurate model.  One of the Czech companies - Co-operativa? - released the old Frog kit some years back with a fantastic resin cockpit and shiny new decals..

According to the latest Airfix mag, the Angel Interceptor is due out any time now.... :wub: :wub: :wub:

It's the same mouldings, but with a new Cartograph decal sheet: bet they could sell a few of those sheets just on their own too....

Wonder if the RAF could be persuaded to paint a Typhoon up in Angel Interceptor colours? The shape is not so damn far off actually..... :wacko:

I'm told the Lynx has been put back until next year. As for the Landrovers I could swear I'd seen an advert in one of the magazines, but it's probably me just getting old as they are not listed yet  :banghead: However they have been priced - £19.99

As for me it's the new Swordfish and Zero I want. The P40 is really nice

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Red Arrows?

Aggressor schemes?

Or do a dusty one, with faded paint, bits missing, yellowed canopy and tarps over part of it, being restored by the Shuttleworth Collection to commemorate the 100th aniversary of Spectrum's defeat of the alien invasion.... You colud have an old lady with a walking stick talking to one of the team saying "I used to fly that one!".....
