Oh my, there will be some excited folks out there.

I still have a 1/72 Novo repop of the venerable Frog mould, including integrated pilot heads in a box somewhere. I think

ONLY 327 parts ?  Other companies would have over a thousand. :o

Still if I had the space, I'd get one.

Oh, dear! :icon_crap:


That goes for both the Gannet & the Ferret!

I'll probably end up with a Gannet to do as a RW RAN aircraft.  ;)

A couple of Ferrets could slip into the stash because ... Well ... Ferrets! 8) :-*

Thank you for taking one for the team! I checked on Scalemates and the Accurate Armour kit was the only one available. Good whiffing potential

Dare I hope that the re-released Rotodyne will have new decals, perhaps both civil and military?

The Hunter should make a lot of folks happy.

Every time I see a Gannet these days, I can't help but think of the old board/video game Crimson Skies. There was a twin engine bomber in the game, the Balmoral, that I once would have sworn was loosely based on the Gannet, especially the tail.

That's some nice Hunter box art.

I hear a ferret Mk 1 is on the way for those who prefer the sans-turret version, although this one is coming from points East of England.

The latest edition of Workbench is dedicated to the 1/72 F-35B starter kit and an official unboxing of the kit is live on YouTube. It looks like the biggest issue is the pilot seems to have stepped out of a Tornado in the mid-1980s...
