Just seen these pics of the new Roden Super VC-10, looks very nice, and a tanker to follow;

From a quick look at my Silent Swift Superb book, appears some of the projects done by S&M need the Super wings and engines? Looks a lot better than the Airfix standard VC-10.

That looks very nice. I see they've included 2 refueling pods on the sprues, but no center refueling point.

That's because the K3s and 4s don't have the centre point like the K2s have.

But thank GOODNESS we have an injection Super at long last. Ever since the demise of the FROG kit the only choice has been the Welsh Models vacform or the Braz resin conversion. Well done Roden!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hope they do a standard VC-10 too,. I really want a Caledonian and a BUA one. Oh and a Gulf Air Golden Falcon too.

Converting a Super back to a Standard is a lot easier than doing it the other way round though.
