Oooh - Coyotes and Jackals are cool-as and ripe for whiffery/sci-fi treatment!  :thumbsup:

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

As the box-art is now being promoted, does anybody have any idea when the 1:72 Gnat is going to be out ??

Not sure, I heard somewhere (forgotten where) that it's imminent but won't be ready for Telford.

The early silver/dayglo scheme looks nice:

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.

They'll have sprues and assembled sample kits at Telford for sure if they managed it for Yeovilton.
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! :)

The gnat cant be to far off now, Colin showed me a test shot he had been given by Airfix back at the avon show
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Yummy :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


Should be easy for Airfix to make the Ajeet as well with the breakdown of parts or for some enterprising aftermarket company.

The single seater and two seater Gnats are almost different aircraft, apart from the engine-centre section bit though.

Somewhere I have the Aeroclub single seater and it's tiny compared even to the old Airfix Gnat. Smaller wing span, smaller tail, shorter and differently shaped nose too, so there's quite a bit of work there.
