What we need is a Valiant to the Sky campaign! Then they'll hand them out them like candy.


That'd be difficult as a) There is only one and b) It's already past it's fatigue index limit. :(

Pfff, minor hindrances!

Just seems odd to have dropped it from the range so soon after putting in all that design work.  I know we're never going to get a Sperrin from Airfix but the Valiant was my back-up.

I doubt that it is life threatening levels.   The Australian Army put a radioactive Centurion used in the Maralinga tests back into service and no one has ever reported a single case of Cancer from using it.

But what happened to those who were bitten by the radioactive spiders living inside it has never been revealed...

I predict a Concorde re-pop.

Really wish they would redo a 1/48 Bucc...

Nice to see the mighty Jestream back though and the 1/48 Tiger Moth sounds lovely.  :wub:
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Even if it has got the wrong engines, the rest of it is a pretty good looking airframe.

No that was not me, that was my wallet.  :rolleyes:

So I have got a Jetstream and a Bristol Bulldog in the stash. That is not going to stop me.

Without being able to see any of the sprues, so only based on the kits available, it certainly looks like it.

Well that me more than happy, a new 1/72 Buccaneer S2 RN boxing, so I can see me getting quite a few of those. Looking at the CGI i'm not sure if it has the folding nose cone as well as airbrakes

Jetstream!  Now that was a surprise.  I had the USAF C-10 boxing about 30 years ago and made a balls of it so will have another crack.

Ah, 2019 is 50 years since the first flight!
