On the ICM website - 'coming soon' - journalists in war in 1/35


On the DoraWings Facebook page - renders of their Fairey Delta FD.2 in 1/72

That does look interesting..........

Typical plane, that … even if it hadn’t said Fairey right above it, I would have guessed it to be either British or French because of its generally weird and not overly attractive shape

I rather like it myself…..

I admit it’s far from the ugliest plane of its era, but I can’t call it pretty — sorry

[Dave Ward]

Not pretty, perhaps - first plane to exceed 1000 mph in level flight - raised the Air Speed record by 310 mph to 1,132mph in 1956 - even more surprising is that both the FD.2 survived - one is at Yeovilton, the other at Cosford

I couldn't possibly make the room for this, so watching the video will have to do! It's a really complex model......

On their Facebook page ICM say that there are 29600 rivets!

From MiniArt - 'new kit in progress'

I assume injection moulded replaces the vacformed original - I wonder if any more of the diorama bases will re-emerge?

Well you won't need this Dave, you could 3D print as many as you like for next to nothing!

1/35th , both from Gecko , March hopefully.

I think that was the most wished-for LCA variant

Depending on how much,(I suspect a LOT !), I'd DEFINITELY be up for that LCA.

I'm still waiting for the Royal Navy version to make it over here.

Talking of waiting for for this type of thing.... do you know if anyone does a LCT-R ,(The D-Day Rocket ones?!), I've looked for ages and can't find anything at all
