Remember seeing what must have been one of these http://www.automodellistudio.com/2012/04/monthly-specials-may-2012/ in the Holborn Modelzone Shop about a year ago.  And as far as a kit is concerned - http://www.hyperscale.com/2008/reviews/kits/planet217reviewmd_1.htm.

The new Harrier GR.1 is out and what a beauty, hope they scale her up to 1/48.  ;D  :bow:  :thumbsup:

They had the Harrier GR1 sprues at the Bristol Show, and the 1/48 Javelin too, which is MAGNIFICENT! I wish they'd scale that DOWN to 1/72 of course.  ;D

ATTENTION PLEASE!! I have been told by Airfix that if they feel that the bugatti 100p would get enough sales then they would seriously consider putting it into production, I felt that the up and comping completion of the 100p restoration project, now would be a good time for them to start  ;D also, imagine the whiffery potential of a mainstream 100p! Added to the fact that it is a truly beautiful creation, I urge you to contact Airfix and raise their awareness that we do want them to start manufacturing this iconic aircraft that has yet to fly...... Thanks

Just sent them an e-mail supporting this idea.  :thumbsup:

While I was at it I also suggested something I've thought for a while would make a good subject for them: the Martin-Baker MB.5:



It's British, it's good-looking, it's unusual, it's never had a mainstream kit of it, and it's not another Luft'46!  :thumbsup:

Good idea Weaver as its been done in vacform, resin and limited production in both 1/72 and 1/48th there is certainly a market for the MB-5  :thumbsup:

That's an excellent idea, the things you could do with an MB.5.... :ph34r:

Think I'll be keeping an eye out for the GR.1. :drink:
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.

The MB5 is to me the punchiest looking piston-engined fighter imaginable, the Sabre-engined Fury the handsomest.

Spitfires remain the prettiest.

FW190D-9 (blown canopy, not the flat canopy) and P-51D tie as best mix of form and function.  I always think of the FW190D-9 as a kind of flying Audi.

So yes, Mr Airfix - a 1/72 MB5 kit would sort my 2014 birthday and Xmas present lists out to a tee.

An Airfix MB5? Yes PLEASE!  :thumbsup:

The best looking fighter of the period to my mind, mixes the best bits of a P-51 and late mark Spitfires all into one. I still have my Skybirds 96 'marble finish' one in an unbuilt state, I suppose I really out to make the darn thing!
