Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 I really want a good Vampire. I always loved its low stance. I am unaware of a large scale Vampire. I do have a Matchbox Venom which I will build soon. Your choices? 3
Old Dog Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 I wanted an early (WWII version) of the Meteor, I bought the later variant from HKM and was hoping Fisher would do a back date set but alas the fire put Fisher out of business and HKM never released and early variant. And yes a Vampire would be an excellent choice ! 4
BlrwestSiR Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 Beaver for sure. Maybe a Hornet too. Carl 4

HubertB Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 I hope the project I initiated but then decided to let someone else complete it - in the hope it would be done faster, if at all - will come to see the light of day: the DH-89 Dragon Rapide Although, judging by the slow returns of the guy who is supposed to have taken over, I am not that optimistic nowadays ... Hubert 3
HubertB Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Well, it looks like the project for a DH-89 Dragon Rapide I initiated will never see the light of day, in the end. But the good news is Lukgraph will soon release a 1/32 kit ! My dream is fulfilled, even if this launch means my investment of a few years back seems wasted ... Hubert 5
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 15, 2020 Administrators Posted February 15, 2020 Yep, a Lukgraph Dragon Rapide in 1/32. Noice I’m more psyched by the P.11C though. 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 15, 2020 Administrators Posted February 15, 2020 As far as 1/32 DH aircraft..... 5
seiran01 Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 LEM and HPH (in their upcoming plastic line) have both announced 1/32 Vampires :-) gimme that and good single seat Venom to fill those holes in my rnzaf stash. 3

Guest Dekenba Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Lukgraph's DH.89 Dragon Rapide is soon to see the light of day. I was browsing through an old Aeroplane magazine, and these caught my eye...

I've also pre-ordered. Genius choice of subject by Lukgraph.

I agree with you: it is a genius choice, and that’s why I started the project of a 1/32 resin Dragon Rapide in 2012. So I guess it also makes me a genius ... The only thing is I forgot Edison’s quote about the « 99% perspiration » behind great ideas, and the project got caught in the doldrums of life. I still have an expensive master to tease me about this unfinished stroke of genius Hubert 3

I think there's an unwritten rule that all 1/32 injected plastic projects are only allowed if there is a resin equivalent that hasn't quite been finished.....
