Supermarine Scimitar on the way!

[Nick]

Solent Sky Museum have revealed that their Supermarine Scimitar has been digitally scanned. This can only mean that somebody is going to release a kit of it

My money is on Airfix. It fits their range of British jets, there are no decent injection kits out there in any scale, and I've been asking Airfix for one for years

Oh I so hope so. Would put a crimp in one or two people on a certain auction site asking £120 for an Xtrakit copy

Is your impression that the Xtrakit is so bad? Just curious..

[AeroplaneDriver]

Crosses fingers, raises eyes to the heavens and whispers "please be 1/48" over and over and over...

[The Wooksta!]

It probably will be 48th, as it's one of the few British front line fighter or strike types they haven't got in 48th in one form or another.  Fills a gap.

I have yet to hear a glowing review of the Xtrakit Scimitar.

1/48 and 1/72. Might as well do both while they're at it

Silence foul mouthed heretic! The true gentlemans scale is 1/72.

Silence foul mouthed heretic! The true gentlemans scale is 1/72.

Also the scale they sell the most in as well I bet.

Maybe a 1:1 scale for a restoration (yes I know it won't happen)

and 1/72 is always the correct answer.....

[PR19_Kit]

I've got two of the Skybirds86 Scimitars, but a 1/72 main stream one would be much more Whiffable.

Don't listen to them, Nick! Just because they're in the majority doesn't make them right!

1/48 RULES!

*cough*cough*  You'll note the decanter and a service revolver on the way out...

Now THAT is a true Gentleman.  Being smaller does not make something more "Gentlemanly".

That depends on where you are.
