ssculptor Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Good! I have an Attacker in 1/24 Vacuform. But I prefer this in 1/32. I'll be looking for it. Lee White 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Lapin Mal Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I was going to do the MB5 but I have a suspicion that aircraft without service history don't sell very well, after the Attacker will be another Royal Navy Naval and a German aircraft. I think you are right on the MB,5, unfortunately, so hopefully that will leave you more open to a Wyvern (says the hopeful Dorset boy) or even the Supermarine Scimitar...

dennismcc Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 A Seafire would be nice as nobody else makes one in 1/32, I have a few conversions but it's not the same. Cheers Dennis Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 When I was into 1/72 scale back in the 1960's I built all the British jets from the 1940-50 era. They were Frog and Airfix kits. They are all gone now but I'd like to replace them in 1/32. To me the 1940 to 1960 era of jet aircraft of all countries is the most fascinating. The designers were really experimenting with the jet powered plane designs. It was really a fine era for designing out of the box. Just as interesting as WW1 aviation. Early on in that era I was into U-control flying models too and then in the later 60's I was in the Air Force ROTC program during college. Now I am selling off my 1/32 vacuform stash except for the planes from that post-WW2 to 1960 era. Those I keep and maybe even I'll make them. Who knows? A buddy of mine flies ultra-light ultra small radio control indoor flyers in an armory on Sundays. These planes fly so slow you can walk around next to them while having them under control. I wonder if I can power some of these vacuform aircraft with the really light and small electric motors and RC gear. It should be interesting. I know it would work fine with the 1/24 WW1 aircraft vacuforms. Its an interesting life. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Don't think Germany used the Attacker, Pakistan did however. That MB5, why not? Luft 46 is very popular. And the MB5 actually did fly and was thoroughly tested.Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Looking forward to the kit ... CC is ready and waiting ... and already way to worn out Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I think that's a wise decision. Hope it's a Sea Hawk... Would be very tempting. A Scimitar more so. Tony Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I see one of these, the old newsreel of the canopy that wouldn't unlatch and wouldn't break plays over and over in my mind. That harrowing episode involved a Scimitar during a Press Showing on a carrier. Utterly ghastly and haunting. Poor sod. Pic is of a Sea Hawk, its predecessor Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 An MB.5 would be amazing! As Cees Broere said, it did fly (very well!) and was an impressive aircraft...just a little too late. That being said...a Wyvern would be even more impressive in 1/32. What a beautiful beast of an aircraft! Bravo52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
