Your wish list...

[stona]

No seriously - Whirlwind - that's all I can find - a test shot??

Same here, from the end of last year. I've had one on watch at Hannants for a while. I just checked and it's still on their site, but no further news.

Here's hoping, it's something I'd like to build.

3. Panther ausf. G full interior 1/35

Hints on items #1 and 3 are welcome.

Hi Andy,

This is a very nice kit with full interior. M.A.N. built around 50 of these with the steel wheels which makes it also an interesting Panther.



Kit number is 2120. It sells between €50 - €60. Food for thought...

Hmmm let me ponder.
Id like to see.
(1)- 1.35th Swedish Strv 104 Centurion with ERA.
(2)- 1.35th Danish Centurion with rangefinder on mantlet.
(3) 1.35th Churchill 1 and 2.
Wishful thinking i feel.

HobbyFan has one of those as a conversion set for the AFV Club Centurion. This means it will cost you more than you’ll probably care to pay, though — HobbyFan are not exactly the cheapest brand out there (Which I find especially odd because they’re the “boutique” arm of AFV Club in the first place.)

(3) 1.35th Churchill 1 and 2.

Inside the Armour had conversion sets for these. However, they seem to be out of the conversion kit business, so you would have to find one second-hand.

I would like either a 1/72 or 1/48 of a Handley Page H.P.42 or at least some new canopies for my old Classic Airframes kits.

Cheers,
Richard

Thank you, Allen, very kind of you. Already feeding my thoughts...

Yes the Hobbyfan conversion makes the project really expensive.Be nice to see them in styrene along with the early churchills but wishful thinking i reckon.

Early Churchills I can see happening, all AFV Club needs to do is add one or two sprues with the relevant parts. A Strv 104 … rather less likely, I’d say. OTOH, the Swedish modifications should not be that hard to scratchbuild, should they?

Everything!!

I'm still learning!

Erm i believe IDF blazer armour could be adapted for some of the ERA plates on the Strv104.R,Think the engine deck is similar to IDF shot kals,There are a few mino turret changes and the Lyra smoke launcher tubes.The Churchills would be most welcome,1 and 2s and CS ones im sure would go down well and OKE flamethrowers.

Special Hobby are about to release a Whirlwind in 1/32.

I can't find any news of it on their website. I'll buy one sight unseen :smiling3:

I have just received my copy of the October issue of Scale Aircraft Modelling which included the following remarks about Special Hobby releases:

I might put my hand up for a Whirlwind and a Tiger Moth.

Email received overnight indicating Hannants have listed the 1/32 Special Hobby Westland Whirlwind as item SH 32047 but no pricing at this stage, so it mustn't be far off being available.

For me it's mostly about adding a something a bit different to the small scale battles my son and I have. i also don't have a great knowledge of all the models out there, so I may be missing out on things, but for better or worse this is my list:

• 1/72 Hauler A30 Challenger. It's a resin kit but the only at this scale. My mum has already bought it for my birthday in December! :smiling:
• 1/72 Vespid A34 Comet. These are brand new manufacturer and the sprue shots look very good. John is hopefully getting them at the end of the month. The only other one I know of close to this is the Revell (old Matchbox) version at 1/76.
• 1/72 Modelcollect - modern Russian T-something. Built their T90A a while ago and was very impressed.

So in my case. Good news. John started stocking the Comets last week. Order already placed!
