In ANY scale! Airfix seems like the right people to make it a reality. I've been wanting one for, oh, maybe only 50 years!

Ditto!  Be interesting to do a Mk.1X in Egyptian markings as the E300 testbed.

According to Scalemates there are 2 (maybe 3) 1/72 kits available:

I've tried to buy the Alliance kit twice on EvilBay but been beaten by someone else, twice now.  :(

Wonder how it would look with a pair of late-model Adours replacing the installed engines?

I think I have a couple of the vac-forms in the remote southern stash, but I wouldn't swear to the number.

Well the projected Mk.2 version was to have RR Adours.

Hi folks,

A thread fro your HAL HF-24 Marut Ideas and Inspiration.

In the days before the world wide web, I was always fascinated by this photo of HF-24 Marut, predominantly because there were very few books of the time that covered the design, let alone went into detail.....
All in all, not a bad achievement for such a young nation with little, if any aerospace background.
