HI all,
I have just joined and am trying to find my way around the site so all being well this is the right place to advertise a new project the lost british aircraft projects my partner and my self are creating a series of never before produced aircraft from the late 40s up to today.
So far the first three projects have been the P1114 fwd swept wing fighter the P1154 supersonic harrier the next projects are the english electric P42 the p1019E2 the next the P1019E6 and the supermarine type 559 these will all be 1/48 scale and they are 3d printed please see the pics.
Some of these are still at the printers but will be on sale soon depending on up take will decide the amount produced i tend to go for 8 and then see how it goes as reprints are around 12 days.
I hope this will be of interest to you all i have pics but all seem to big to go on here so my email for any one wanting to have a look is rikki75@btinternet.com

Welcome, sir.  Inquiry has been sent for the items that have, so far, captured my interest.  I will definitely be interested in the P.1121 when you do it.

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.
