Archimedes Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Most improbably a Blackburn Firebrand is in the works. https://en-gb.facebook.com/flyingSmodels/ It appears CAD is ongoing. I've not heard of them before and don't know anything about likely release dates but an image of some CAD work so far is below: Kind regards, Paul chukw, Rockie Yarwood, Stefano and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 From their facebook page; "While continuing on the 1/32 Blackburn Buccaneer, I've been doing a little more design work on another Blackburn model...the 1/32 Firebrand." Regards the Buccaneer, it's detail sets for the Icelandic Models kit. LSP_Kevin, thierry laurent, Sage the Owl and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I'm not sure whether Chad intends to release this himself, via Icelandic Fine Arts, or not at all. Flying S Models has a small range of aftermarket sets available, but recently has been collaborating with Icelandic Fine Art on their upcoming Harrier releases, as well as developing some upgrade parts for the same company's Buccaneer kit (cf Karl's build of same in the WiP forum). He also has a long term 1/32 Gannet project that I believe is still being developed, and may also end up being released by Icelandic Fine Art. I'll see if I can find out more from Chad directly.

To be fair to Blackburn the Buccaneer was probably the best looking bird they designed but the Firebrand does have a certain presence to it. My first thought was "Will you look at the flaps on that mode!? - surely overdone?" but apparently not. Best regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is subjective but to my eyes Blackburn seemed to like injecting a lot of their aircraft with the ugly gene. I figured it was a defensive, hoping opposing pilots would be put off aim by the ugliness ! Archimedes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
