possibly but this would mean far too much work anyway as the fuselage is unique to this design and reworking the Frog unit is too involved for the cost of the kit-however if I found an early Frog example in perfect condition for less than £10 I would be tempted to have a go, in other words, everyone- let this die !

Always a bit surprised that back in the day, Airfix never kitted HMS Warrior, SS Great Britain or the SS Great Eastern in their Classic Ships range.

Or HMS Dreadnought, HMS Vanguard

TanModel was started by UAMF member Baris Tan a few years ago and has released several a couple kits to great reviews.
Unfortunately I believe the pix on "Tanmodel" posts have fallen to the PB problem.

I believe "jssel" (Jeff) had an RF-84 in a workbench thread.

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Amazingly Mark I have just found one on Kingkit- but at £35 pounds I don't see my buying very many more of them should other examples appear, but here it is, now safe and sound in my stash.

One I've been thinking about lately is any form of B707 in 1/72, they seem to fetch a massive amount in eBay so why doesn't someone release a new mold?

With Airfix having brought out a couple of excellent 1/48 vehicle kits in the Albion and Bedford, an Austin ambulance would be most welcome. In addition to Army and RAF dioramas, it could fairly easily be converted to the type of fire appliance widely used by the Auxiliary Fire Service.....how about it Airfix?
