Roden has announced four new kits in 1/144th scale :- http://www.roden.eu/HTML/framemodels1.htm
Boeing 720
Bristol Brittania 175
DC-3 civvy version
Fairchild C-123B Provider
There is an ad in SAM this month saying the 720 will be in a "Music series" consisting of tour schemes for Elton John, Led Zeppelin x 2 and the Bee Gees. No airlines so far, I want Monarch and Cyprus Airways or maybe Aero America or Air Malta?

Sounds good, I don't recall anyone doing a 720 in 1/144 so far. LOADS of various 707s but not a 720.

I should think that three of those airline schemes could be done with current decals for other airliners, plus the  odd window and door set etc. but I'm not sure about Air America.

The Brittania will be nice for RAF versions even if you don't look at recent AEW publications

Read over on Aeroscale that Roden are doing a Lockheed Jetstar in 1/144th scale! http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=15616

Britannia, excellent!

[Captain Canada]

That Brittania would be nice. I'd also like to do a RW Transport Canada Jetstar and an RCAF whif or two. Still kicking myself for not grabbing those 2 Rodden kits on sale at Modelzone in Glasgow last summer....

It is, and for quite a few other bands too.

[Captain Canada]

My LHS is checking in to getting them, sounds like they are available from his suppliers. Right on !

This link should be http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ROD316

Cheers - link changed in the original post.

The C-140 might provide engines that I've been after for a while, I'll have to measure up and see.

Given the Music series, we might see a Jetstar in Elvis' colours?

Roden are doing a 1/72 Fairchild C-123B Provider, looks pretty decent too

Ah, memories. They used to use them for calibrating the ILS. They would approach fast with gear up and just over the threshold it was 'balls to the wall' and a climbing turn for another go-around. Looked like a fun job. They use Dash-8s now, not as hot but still fun to watch.

[Captain Canada]

They were using a Challenger and more recently a larger one, like an RJ. Pretty wild to watch, for sure ! Pretty sure they are based out of Kingston.

The one you're talking about is preserved at the Atlantic Canada Aviation Museaum in Halifax. At least I'm pretty sure it is ! Unless it was a Coast Guard plane but pretty sure it's a TC bird.

Gudamnit!  I just recently got hold of a couple of Combat Models vacuforms      Still, one was/is to be converted to a Chase XC-123A --
