Hi everyone,

Although Scale Modelworld 2020 has been cancelled, planning projects for release at the show have been underway for some time, so I will have some new items to coincide with the show dates.

Although information of some releases will be held back and there won't be as many releases as usual, the FAA Tandem Hunter is already out of the bag, I've also just mentioned on my Facebook page that Paul Lucas is working on an HS.125 Naval Courier conversion for the Airfix Dominie re-issue. This will be a fairly simple set for which credit must go to Geoff Baker for the suggestion, and to providing the references. 

I'll post more info as projects firm up. Thanks for your ongoing support as ever.

I'll be after a few of those as well  :thumbsup:
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

I'm not taking orders till probably October, once I have the masters they need to go to CMR and then it takes about 6 weeks. There will be plenty don't worry!

Thanks, Colin

Thanks for the positive comments. I think conversions like this for cheap kits might be popular now when money is tight for everyone, and many have them in the stash (like Trevor) already that helps to. Plus I'm a sucker for an old kit, although the Airfix HS.125 is not one of their best its a sound basis and its not like anyone is likely to do a better one.

Erm, Vulcan exhausts and Skybolt rereleases?  The latter would be popular for the new Vulcan.

Just got some cast up this week, both sets of Vulcan tail pipes and a dozen pairs of Skybolts with pylons. The Skybolt set (2 missiles) is £18.00, not on website yet.

Thanks, Colin

Any chance of some Bluewater missiles 1/72nd scale  Colin? It would save me a lot of time and rigmarole.
Cheers
