Tophe is going to love that.  As do I.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Probably a reissue but this seems to hold some interest. Looks like Miles had their own spares box to delve into:

Interest definitely, but at that price?  :o

With my discount I can get that kit for $16.90, from modelsUa.com. https://modelsua.com/home.php?keep_https=yes scroll down and you will find it among some other good and reasonably priced stuff too.

The phrase 'Reasonably priced' and 'Hannants' rarely occur in the same sentence.........

I must admit when the Hannants hot news email comes through I put my sarcasm tinted spectacles on and say REALLY?? a lot at their stratospheric pricing, still it keeps Google in business as I look elsewhere to find it cheaper.

This may well be a re-issue, someones done a kit previously, but it's an interesting aircraft and I like the idea of transfers for the "colour" scheme.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That Kalinin K-12 is an all new tooling, he's planning to do the K-7 too! Also in the CAD stage is a 1/48th Fokker G.1 Reaper and the little 1/72nd Fairey gyrocoptrer thingy is one of Micro Mir's too.

That's a good choice, all they have to do is beat the price of the S&M Canberra now.

Who do you think makes the S&M canberra?

Mikro-mir. So the price wont be much  different.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.
