Wrong scale...

Wrong scale...
I beg to differ...besides, you guys already have 1/72 options.
Now if only the SR177 was also being done...
-
Perhaps, even, someone to take it one step further to the SR P.187 to F.155T in one or both scales (would prefer both, but would settle for either).

Wrong scale...
I think I read somewhere that Freightdog is doing one in 1/72 scale (to go with their SR177)

I asked Colin few months ago if he would resurrect his SR.53 and he replied he will. But since he has gone back to work full time, that may change,

It is needed. The ancient Airfix kit now goes for silly money on Evilbay and the eastern European copy goes for nearly as much.
-
1/48 SR.53 is now available - I have just ordered mine!

Pity Paul Fisher never made one, he wanted to back in the early '00s but the market wasn't there, it would have been
a much better model.

There one of them in a museum in Darwin
-
The model or the aircraft?
-
I wish the PC-12 was in 1/48 and with RFDS markings:

A retired RFDS PC 12 is the centre piece of the RFDS museum at Stokes Hill Wharf in Darwin

They also have a VR show of the Darwin Bombing
-
I expect the PC-12 will do rather well as they're popping up everywhere.
I'm amazed the RFDS has already retired one! I guess they're very active and their aircraft run out of hours quicker because of constant use?

Also sometimes do rather "hard" landings on remote airstrips...
-
RFDS were the first operator of the type from 1994, twenty years plus is not a bad service life for a plane that would have been utilised to the fullest extent, often from dirt strips.
-
Saw one of these birds flying over the office on Monday. Red-bellied RFDS.

Good points gents - 1994?! I had no idea the design was that old. Almost as old as I am...
-
I am kind of tempted to do a floatplane version...though I wish it was 1/48.

Now you're making me feel old, tag another 40 years to that. :icon_crap:

It's ok, I'm not that young!
I turn 30 in August :P

1994? That was entering middle-age for me (would've been 42 or, by the end of the year, 43); never had the mid-life crisis you're supposed to have. Wonder if I can combine it with a second childhood now?
-
60 is the new 40!
Was cruising the ADF recruiting sites earlier today and was surprised to see most roles have a maximum joining age of between 56 and 61 depending on the return of service obligation the training they provide has.

News from Kits for Cash is that all the remaining (and surviving) Heritage Aviation moulds and stock have now been sold to AlleyCat.
Kits for Cash will continue as before, but with a new name for resin items the owner decided to keep. It's called Simian Stuff.
