Hi everyone,

Though I would give you the heads up on what I will have at SMW this year. No pictures yet, just waiting for masters to arrive later this week, then it is all systems go. This year I will have the BAC Lightning VG conversion in 1/72, based on the Airfix F6 kit, set will include new wings, stores and main undercarriage for the proposed swing wing version. With a bit of work set should also fit on a Sword F1/3/T4/5 kit, but we based it on the Airfix kit as its the easiest to build and most readliy available. Price not confirmed, but will hopefully be around £15.   

I will have a couple of other small sets, plus new stocks of my Swift F1/2-4 and F7 conversions, just waiting on decals from Fantasy Printshop. For anyone who bought the sets when first released in April, there will be a corrected decal sheet with the new batch, fixing an issue with slightly undersize roundels and serials, I am happy to supply replacements to those who bought the original release.

More details to follow soon. Thanks!

Colin

Any chance that you will do a Boulton Paul "D" type turret for use on the new Revell Halifax Colin?

Yep: BAC looked at it for a naval version in the 1960s. The pivot point would have been ouboard of the u/c mountings, like on an Su-17.

From what Colin's said it looks like he's designed it to fit the Airfix F.6 single seater, but it should be adaptable to the Sword T.4/T.5.

like wise :)
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

We're going to be up to our NECKS in VG Lightnings before long!  :o
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! :)
