I just heard of this outfit earlier today.  Seems to be some progress since Paul posted more than four years ago.

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.

Not a fan off all that big stuff but the Bucc would be nice, and that Hurkus as well ! Looks like a derivative of the Harvard II. Off to google we go !

I want to see their 111 family. That's going to be a *huge* kit, especially if they decide to include parts for all the variants- A/B/C/DE/F/K, FB and EF.

Probably be pricey too.  :-\

What surprised me was that Casa CN-235 and 295 are in 1/48.  That's going to be a big kit.

Appears to be a redesign of the Havard II. Very similar yet different.

The Herkus sprues look more refined than their earlier F-5A that got released by Tiger Models, though that was apparently not a fully finished tool. The F-5A was a bit clunky looking though I've seen some good builds of it (mines still in the box).

Yeah, the Hurkus looks good, top end of short run.  Slightly chunky, panel lines on the heavy side and I can see a sink mark on the wing root but pretty good.  The acid test will be how it goes together and not least, price.

Ya, in some of the pics I googled it looks like it's had a different engine configuration as well. Still pretty neat looking !

Latest list has the CN235/295 family changed to 1/72nd scale, also 1/32nd F-4E/RF-4E/F-4EJ/F-4F series (including the 2020 & the Kurnass).
There is also a 1/48th T-37 Tweet which they are currently scanning with LIDAR (along with the F-5A and F4E).
They are planning a UH-1H and a T-34 Mentor too though scale not known yet. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234967245-tanmodel-172-148-132-projects/page-2

BRILL!  :thumbsup:

I've wanted to do a CN235 in the lovely dual blue IAC scheme for ages.
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! :)

Regards
Kit

I know of someone who will be very happy to hear that.  He's a quarter scale modeller at heart, but did wonder where he was going to put it!

A good kit of the CN235/295 family would seem to be overdue. Some really interesting subjects in the works here. I like the idea of including the parts for all these different versions in one box. It would make things simpler in the long run.
Question is which distributors will be carrying these products?
