Mach2

[McColm]

Mach2 has released several 1/72 BAC 1-11s in different liveries for around £50 .

There was several concepts for an MPA and AEW versions but none went into production although it was used as a test bed for engines and technical equipment.

My wallet did not need to know this.

Nor did mine, darn it.

[Later] But there's no mention of it on their web site.......................

Scalemates says it's a 2026 release, so maybe later this year?

LO's post says the Big H has 5+ in stock! 

Odd how Mach2 don't mention it themselves.

Perhaps their web marketing team is funded similar to their crisp injection mold development team.....


I do credit them for taking on obscure subjects, thanks MACH2

😂👍
I think their entire management /production /design team consists of just one man?
Whatever, like  you, I think this little company deserves applause for its efforts. They must be doing something right because, despite all the criticism, they still turn 'em out.
Long may it continue.

I agree there, Mach2 do the types other majors wouldn't even think about.

I can't even see Revell doing a 1/72 Seamaster, and the Mach2 one is pretty darn good shape wise, it just needed fettling a bit to bring it up to standard.

I've built it. Not the easiest of builds but, nothing worth doing is ever easy😉😂

It cannot be mistaken for anything other than a Seamaster and, that works for me😊. Of course, if (hypothetically) Revell DID produce a kit of same, the cries of "why this when modellers worldwide are screaming out for (insert)"

I think the only likelihood of ever seeing any of the subjects that Mach 2 produces would be from  manufacturers like (for example) Takom, Mikromir or Modelcollect who, have a knack for producing oddball subjects.

So did I, back in 2017, but an RAF one. complete with IFR pod in the bomb bay, and an almost 90% scratchbuilt beaching trolly. 





The almost endless build thread is here.

I've still got to build the RAF Stalwart to tow it in and out of the water.................

Someone else did a resin BAC 1-11, I don't recall who did it and a quick spin of Scalemates has turned up nowt.  Really nice it was, too.  John Barlow at Wor Club was showing it off a while back and he said he got it via Barry Wong. 

Kit should know who I'm talking about, even if no one else does.

[PR19_Kit]

Kit should know, but he can't remember.

It does ring bells though.

Authentic Airliners have a -200 and a -500.
