It's Fly Trevor.

thanks Mossie. I am hanging on to a nearly complete Monogram one in markings for RNAS Ford for sentimental reasons. But a F15 Reporter in RAF markings..... Now there is an idea. Replacement for a PR34 Mosquito perhaps.

I'm going to take credit for this one, based on the fact that I bought an Alley Cat BT-67 conversion and an Airfix Dakota several years ago and still haven't done anything with them yet. You're welcome... :rolleyes:

Hmm, I've got a kit of tri-turbo engined Dak in The Loft already and it's been there for ages.

IIRC it included an Italeri Dak kit as its basis with a bunch of vac and resin bits as well.  :-\

Think I will wait  until the price is a bit more definite than "TBA" before deciding to order or not.

As a guide, the Basler is around £40.

Oh magic! I've always liked the look of the '4 pot' Skyraider, and this one seems to come with an ENTIRE armoury included!  :o

I had forgotten that they do the SEA four-seat Sandy. I will put that on my list of things to buy at Telford.

I know it's in a book I have around here somewhere....

Yeah, I had an idea for a Sky Raider fire bomber back when the only option for the four seater was the old Monogram/Revell kit. Might be worth picking one up and resurrecting the idea.

Somewhere I've still got one of those too, not seen it for AGES. But it doesn't have any armament at all IIRC.

It has the pylons moulded in to the wing if I remember. That was main reason I didn't buy it.

Now I've got the theme from 'Vacation' in my head.
