3D printed 1/48th Fairey Rotodyne kit coming:

Tweaked to 1/56th (28mm), that might appeal to the post-WW2 Wargaming crowd.  Gunship?

From Wiki, fodder for the What If - done up in Vietnam Era camo?

According to rumours, the U.S. Army were also interested in buying around 200 Rotodynes.[25] Fairey were keen to secure funding from the American Mutual Aid programme, but could not persuade the RAF to order the minimum necessary 25 rotorcraft needed; at one point, the firm even considered providing a single Rotodyne to Eastern Airlines via Kaman Helicopters, Fairey's U.S. licensee, so that it could be hired out to the U.S. Army for trials. All Rotodynes destined for US customers were to have been manufactured by Kaman in Bloomfield, Connecticut.

Are there any photos of the models he does without going on FB ? I see he does an Avro 730 and chrisonord over on What-If Forum says it's 1/72 scale. I would like to find out which version it is, I have a set of drawings for the early version and I have the Fantastic Plastic late version in 1/144 which I will try to use as a pattern for one in 1/72. But if LBP does the late version I might just have to save up the GBP160 that Chris was quoted by them.
