The newer kits are better builds...
I'd love to have this kit but ....Can someone get the portable defibrillator.
I was going to bemoan the idea that the Starship would probably be hideously expensive, but if the UK price is anything like the 29 euros mentioned in that article then it's going to be very tempting indeed. Can you imagine all the military variants? Target towing, ECM training, maritime patrol, border patrol, ESM/Comint (Guardrail version with dozens of hockey-stick antennae).If A-Model are going to keep doing business aircraft in 1/72nd then they'll be getting some of my money. What next? Piaggio Avanti? Early model Learjet?

be nice to see a 30-series Learjet with all the "lumps and bumps" fitted to the Finnish ones.

What next? Piaggio Avanti? Early model Learjet? Wrong scale for me but I am still impressed that A-Model took a chance on the Beechcraft Starship. Putting the Starship into various support roles for a military aircraft would be nice to see. Perhaps add the SLAR antenna to the top of the fuselage for a surveillance aircraft if you can find a decent representation of that antenna type.
I think the Erieye array might be a bit too much - will check the dimensions though.Personally, a SIGINT style set up like the RC-12 (see below) is very tempting:
