Been hankering for a B-10/B-12 for ages.  They were of course greatly influenced by https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?msg=861822 😉😂

A well known fact.  He told me so at the 2018 Farnborough Air Show.  ;)

Both Azur and Fromm are part of the MPM/Special Hobby family of brand names.

Yup, although I think they are more second cousins then some of the others  ;D . Mainly French subjects with some interesting Romanian ones.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Here's a different option for a B-12.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Test shot of the clear bits for the forthcoming two stage Mosquito.

https://www.specialhobby.net/2024/11/mosquito-172-test-formy-cirych-dilu.html

They announced several marks but judging by these I'll bet my Mosquito collection* on there being a PR34 in the release schedule.  And if they give the whole clear sprues, that means...  Well, my wallet is already worried.


*The remaining Airfix FB6 and Matchbox ones, that is.

ive seen the 1/72 Percival Pembroke is making a comeback, ive been looking for one for a while now, so thats a welcome re-release  :mellow:

Got to be better than the Valom version.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Did Valom do a Pembroke?  I can't remember it.  There was a limited run Belgian kit in the early 90s, a Magna resin and Special Hobby.  Airmodel might have done a vacform back in the mists of time.

PR19_Kit

Well, it's a Sea Prince actually, but the bits included can make it a Pembroke.

I've got one, goodness knows why, except a Sea Prince happens to be the largest aircraft I've ever actually flown.  ;D

Quite a few now, I believe ICM does kits in 1/144 (reboxed by Revell) and 1/350. I'd like to see an RN trawler.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
