And a De Havilland Avro Lincoln (FM300).  :icon_crap:

Yes the De Havilland Lincoln was an entirely different beast based upon the enlarged Mosquito... ;)

Still waiting for a 1/48th scale injection moulded XP-67 Moonbat and an F-86H Sabre.

Yes, yes and yes. Also a Dash-7.


Yasssss... is there a BAe 146 kit? How about in 1/72?


Welch Models has three boxings. But it is GBP 121-123. So it's a pass for me.

Combat Kits do three, a different version too.

There is also one done by a German outfit, can't recall the name right now though.

...No longer building scale models but years ago e-mailed Airfix to "cut steel" for 1/72 scale AVRO Manchester, unkindly told me never shocking given they'd released their excellent Lancaster B.II kit in 2013 me in 1990 building a vacuform & resin parts conversion of the ancient Matchbox B.I kit. Excellent build photos of Planet Model's half-decent resin Manchester kits up on the Internet, now impossible to find at one time had them all now wished I'd built them!

Since A&A has done the first two prototype HA-300s (3rd prototype had variable inlets and an afterburning engine), perhaps they can do a HAl HF-24 since that was definitely operational.

I'm a bit surprised that none of the resin folks have done an S-61N fuselage conversion for a Sea King kit.

When will we be blessed with an F-86H in 1/48th scale?

I know, this seems like beating the proverbial dead horse but I have to ask.  Why beyond the 1/72nd scale F-86H and the OOP/OOB Collectaire 1/48th F-86H there is no normal injection moulded 1/48th scale F-86H for the rest of us to enjoy?

1/35 AC3 Sentinel, 25-pdr variant
1/35 AC4 Sentinel, 17-pdr variant

I'm going to say write this again, but, as ICM have released their 1/35 Sikorsky CH-54A Tarhe, I'm a smidge more hopeful ...

Please! Please! Please! Bring out a 1/35 CH-53D! :icon_meditation: :icon_meditation:

Yep.
I found a 3D resin print for it but it's tiny. Still, I might buy it for the angles & planes to scale off a scratch-build. It takes the Canadian truck chassis so after that it's an easy build once I get that shape. I've done a lot of research on it over the years.
But just straight up buying one would be awesome.

The fenders over the wheels look really thick on those two models, with a good printer you should be able to print those parts paper thin ???

Edit: A bit of googling shows that the 3D models were original made by a Lithuanian artist Know as CGmorph.
