LOL - there's an excellent display of, and about, punt guns in the Royal Armouries at Leeds:

That fascinated me when me and a mate visited years ago
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Sold out very quickly, there's hardly any left on line unless you want to buy from the Ukraine.  I've got a back order on at Hannants, we'll see when the next batch comes in.
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.

Wow that was quick ! Wonder if Mr. Airfix is watching ?

The punt guns are pretty neat as well. I could see doing a model of one of those !

We're going to have a glut of Beverleys at shows next year, maybe even at Telford.

I must get to work on my long planned Court Line version.  ;)

I wouldn't mind the Beverley being scaled up to 1/72nd scale

O pleeze pleeze. Probably not likely, but I can dream of this and a 1:72 plastic C-124 on my shelves...
All hail 1:72!

Several new things of interest to us on Whatifmodellers coming from Mikro Mir. Some may know about them already but I haven't seen them posted here.

1/72nd Miles Aerovan (in CAD developement)

1/144th AW Argosy in military and civil versions (in CAD developement)

1/144th HP Hastings (wing sprue has been test shot)

Personally I want all of them!

DEEP JOY! :thumbsup:

A lovely little aeroplane, and extremely Whiffable too. How about a Jetovan?  ;)

The Aerovan is indeed a lovely little aeroplane.  I'd rather like to see  Miles  M68   "Boxcar"  too.  Just think what any of us could do with that detachable container!!  Details below for those unfamiliar with the beast.

A friend of mine scratched, mastered and released an Aerovan in 1/72 last year. Bad news for him, but good on him for making the sacrifice!!

Ive seen that kit! S & M models over here had a small batch, at a not so small price earlier in the year. The castings looked quite good from what I saw.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Bruce does little resiny bits every now and again, I think this was his first full kit! He "liked" my post about this kit on Facebook, so I don't think he's too sore!

edited this last night but the edit doesn't seem to have gone through, anyhoo here's what I said. My bad, it's the Argosy that is being test shot and not the Hastings.

The second sprue pic has been posted with internal floor, bulkheads and tailplane parts. link to Mikro-Mir's BM thread. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234994391-1144-scale-aw-argosy/page-2
