Oooh, magic.  :thumbsup:

Of course if you DIDN'T cut down the Super Ten to a Standard it'd be even more of a Whiff...........  ;) ;D

Well its actually an absolute bugger to cut the plug out behind the wing (in front is fine as its one cut then fit the shorter nose on), so I'd imagine there will be a few Super Pofflers out there in years to come!

Gave it a plug on Twitter Colin, which also lets me post the pic here:

Thanks Harold, much appreciated! I should be getting some samples tomorrow, then get one off to the artist for instructions. Shortening the fuselage is a bit tricky, more so if you want to retain the windows. Not including decals but best option is the 26Decals VC-10 C.1/K sheet which includes door frames, windows and even the cargo door outline. Ray at 26Decals is also selling his own boxing of the Roden VC-10 at a much lower price than anyone else (you don't need a tanker base kit, unless you want to do wing mounted pods proposed later rather than the plumbed in wing tip ones).

Should have six new small sets in addition to the two Multi Role VC-10 sets. I'll post more info when I have final prices. Have a sizeable restock due to, including canon armed Hurricane sets for NARSES2, going to be very busy the week before the show.

Fantastic news Colin  :thumbsup: Can I reserve two sets for now please ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd & thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.

by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

No problem Sir. Not sure where my stand will be this year, have gone back to a corner plot so hopefully not in hall 3, or at least in the far corner as foot fall seemed decidedly less last year.

Thanks for the tip on VC-10s at 26Decals, I need to stock up  ;D

Colin - in addition to stocking your own What If version if the AZ SR53 will you also be stocking the regular real world version?  Asking as I can't make Telford.

Colin, do you have any plans on re-releasing the 2-cannon pod that the P.1154 had ?

Yes I will, and hopefully before other UK outlets get it, but I'm waiting for AZ to confirm if they will have enough ready to pass over to me at Telford. I can put one aside for you no problem.

Probably not until kit comes out again.
