Sea Hornet NF21 style exhausts for late Mosquito nightfighters (see PM)

Have I mentioned new vacform canopies for B.XVI and PR34 Mosquitoes?  The latter is identical to the former apart from an astrodome on top.

RW, I know, but would there be a market for the extra equipment plus decals for air ambulances? e,g, Hampshire & Isle of Wight EC135:

Maybe bundle with the Revell 1/72 kit, & charge a small premium donated to the charity?


Hi Glenn,

Thanks for the suggestion, its a good idea, but probably something that Whirlybirds would/could do. Have you tried approaching Roger or David Evans? I don't think I'd like to tread on their toes, I know they have done some Air Ambulance sets in the past, its not something I really know anything about.

Do you think there could be a market for 1/72nd scale  Bluewater  missiles  Colin? And perhaps  some  different  engines for the H.P jetstream including propellers  :thumbsup:

IIRC Colin used to do a pair of Blue Waters, or did I imagine that?

You have a better memory than me, I completely forgot I had done them! A re-issue is possible, I'll look into it.

Goody goody, they're an archetypal Whiffing weapons load for much of the stuff we do.   :thumbsup: ;D

That's rather vague, Mr McColm.  Do you mean generic markings tgat could be used on prototypes, or markings worn by actual prototypes?

Let's go for both,  similar style to the BAC TRS-2 decal sheet.

Skybolt missiles and pylons for the new Vulcan - and old one, come to that - wouldn't go amiss either.

An alternate pylon to do the Skybolt Victor isn't a bad idea either.

As per my earlier suggestion with the Victor added and please, with the production noses as well!!!

Victor pylons for a Skybolt would have to be VERY short. The ground clearance under the Skybolt fins would have been 3-5 inches at most! There's a diagram of the the pylons in the Skybolt book I've just read.
