Yup. Add 12 feet to the length and 10 to the span.

Take a 1/48 SR.153, add a second engine plus side by side seating and you roughly have a 1/72 P.187.

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

I meant SR.53 earlier, not SR.153 (that's a whif planned for the near future!) - error corrected.

The Rat

Tamiya announces that they will no longer produce Luftstuffe. Thousands of rivet counters walk into the ocean and are never seen again.

Hasegawa is bought out by a resurrected Starfix. More JMNS disappear.

Matchbox returns and announces a 1/24th Saro Lerwick and An-224, 1/72nd Hindustan Marut and Supermarine Scimitar, and a 1/144th BD-5.

Airfix announces the hiring of Lee Bagnall, Esq., as Secial Consultant, heading up the new Spitfire Division, dedicated to stunningly accurate issues of every variant and one-off. New model issues this year will include a 1/35th scale model of the Fawlty Towers hotel, with figures, and 1/12th scale Jensen Interceptor.

Final legal details are finished and result in the arrest of one Kit Spackman, after declassified papers reveal that the Meteor PR-19 was a real aircraft. Mr. Spackman denies any inside knowledge.

Trumpeter issues a highly inaccurate Bf-109G. Two days later, no more JMNs are accounted for anywhere on earth. Hyperscale folds.

Revell could revive their spurious "Robotech" umbrella series with vintage mecha kits from various OAVs? 35th anniversary or so.

To accompany various manufacturers 1/35 German Railways boxcars,  Miniart release "jewish prisoner" figures.  Outraged JMNs complain the stripes on their uniforms are too wide.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

A resin SARO P.187 would use up the nations quantity of resin in about a week I reckon!

Probably in pinup versions!
