A Ukranian mainstream injection moulded 1/72 version of one of Dizzy's amazing builds, done in the fond belief that it's a REAL aeroplane.  ;D ;D ;) ;)

;D ;D :wacko: :thumbsup:

The Wooksta!

A spoof Airfix 1980s box with a Meteor PR19 on the front would mess with quite a few heads...

Hehehehe, LOVE it!  :wub:
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! :)

AMP/S&M Models kit?  I've fancied the T.11 for a while but not plumped for it yet.  It looks pretty good in the reviews I've seen.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Fair call, was distracted by Wooksta's earlier 'mainstream' comment.  The Airfix treatment would be welcome, though.

Is there an up to date V-22 out there?
The latest versions of a large number of aircraft and armor vehicles would be awesome.

I'd like to see more of the "softer" side of armor- you know the support vehicles that run the supplies up to the front.

Ah, get you.  Yeah, I'd like to see Airfix do some bubble-tops.

I've mentioned it before, I'm not normally into large scale armour but I'd like to see a Cadillac Gage Commando Scout in 1/35.  Looks like an armoured Lancia Stratos.

Ah, just thought of something else!

1/350 (&, for those who build smaller, 1/700) Inter-War aircraft, especially naval aircraft but I'd like the F.2b in the mix.

I'd love a 1/24 and/or 1/32 Jaguar XJ6. The 1976 XJC Coupe for preference, but otherwise the later X300 or X350 series.

I'll second that.

Someone probably does one, but I've not seen it:- a big Scammell Pioneer/ Explorer / R100 artillery tractor      in 1/35 or 1/72. A Thornycroft ANTAR might be worth having,  too.

IBG and Thunder Models in both 1/72 & 1/35.  Several variants as well.

The only Antar I know of is 1/72 in resin and not available yet.  Matador Models, due to be released this year, ex BW Models kit I believe.

I'll take your word for it as i've never seen a cyberhobby kit in the flesh.  I'm not sure they come this far.  Airfix do (eventually) which is why it would be nice if they did a Sea Vixen.

I'd think we're more likely to get the Tempest II from Eduard in 72nd - they're doing the family in 48th, so no doubt they'll scale them down in due course.  If I were being honest, I'd rather Eduard did the Tempest rather than Airfix because they might then do the Spitfire XIV I'd much rather have.  The bloody Czechs are out to bankrupt me vis a vis Spitfires and Hornets.

Airfix *might* do a 72 Sea Fury, but Trumpeter have one out so they may not bother, competition and all that, although the Trumpeter kit makes no money for Airfix and they have all the LIDAR data from the 48th kit.


Well Special Hobby do a Sea Fury and Tempest Mk II, I have both, but I'd like to see an Airfix one for ease of build which would mean I might do a couple of each. One can but hope  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
