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

Sure, but should it be converted into a tanker or AEW aircraft and if so there are three real world operators of the AEW version let along any whiff ones.

Similar thoughts to me Kit, although I've built the Anigrand Mixmaster. Also possibly explains why Hannants have put the XB-42 and 43 in their Limited Availability offers this weekend. I've an idea Anigragns also did an RF-61 and XP-61 although I didn't get around to getting those.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I've got both the Douglas Mixers in Eagles Talon vacforms, and the jet one is 1/4 built, but and injected one would be SO much easier.

I've also got anF-15 Reporter vacform conversion for a P-61 and you can make an RF-61 or XP-61 with it too. Those aren't even started yet.......  :-\

If the Hawk 200 kits are reasonably priced I'd be very tempted to get one of the RMAF/Indonesian AF boxings. 

At the mo that's the only 'new in 2023' release announced so far by any of the manufacturers that's properly grabbed my interest (the Airfix starter set F-35 - yes, honestly- being the other).

I looked up AA Models typical prices. The Hawks could be around £25-£30 each. Hopefully some trader will have a discount price when they first sell.

kitbasher

Yeah I did that too, Nick, and I think you're right.

Once had a Matchbox Hawk 200 that I often regret selling on.

A & A can be a little variable in quality and ease of build. Prices will be interesting to see. Given the current global situation I would of thought Nick's right for the Hawk and mid £30's to £40 for the larger kits ?

Time will tell

To be clear I was purely thinking of the ones Kit mentioned and I'm interested in  ;)

Well the only one currently with a price tag on Hannants is the Mirage and that comes in at the bottom end of my guess (and a couple of £ cheaper for pre-order)

Me too! I'm rather excited for the set with the Spitfire.
