Just a thought- when the heck are we going to get the metal winged Hurricane we have been dreaming about ever since the fabric wing kit was released???

It will probably be released as a Dogfight Double with the new tool Ju88-A1.

I'd go out with her!

Ardpol does an Avro Manchester I in resin, but I think you are looking for the later, pre-Lancaster version.
Dynavector does a 1/48 Gannet in vac-form (Airwaves does a PE wingfold set) and Classic Airframes did one in styrene and such.
The Blackburn Blackburn was done by Contrail in vac-form.

I have all of them, with the Blackburn being the most likely one of these days.

Actually, I'd like to see a completed Blackburn. Like the pug, the aye-aye and the women I date, it occupies the weird ground where grotesque and cute share a border. Go on, J, if any man can make that ancient, user-unfriendly piece of plastic it's you.

I'd like to see a 1/72 Avro Manchester, Avro Lincoln, Bristol Beaufort, E.E. Canberra B.2, Hawker Sea Fury & Miles Master I,II & III.

Special Hobby do a Beaufort which I have and am going to bravely(?) attempt soon....

Mark, Special Hobby USED to do a Beaufort- it's not available now.

David.

Frog had a Beaufort (F229), if you get the right boxing it has Spin-A-Prop.

It's not very accurate John, it is also quite rare and costs far too much (£25) considering the amount of work required to correct it. I'll continue hoping for a NT Airfix Beaufort kit.

David.

Is there any commonality between the Beaufort and it's stable mates (eg. Wings) that would allow them to use sprues from their Blenheim or Beaufighter kits?
