    Yeah I do know now that it was never made by fujimi , strange as it comes up on a search engine but hey never mind , the airfix one is rarer than rocking horse poo though even if I did find one it would be silly money , I have some plasitcard I wounded how difficult it would be to scratch build ! I am joking of course.

      Airfix, as far as I know did not do a wasp. The wasp was a navy version of the scout so if there is a conversion set around you might get lucky.

      Conversion sets are even harder to find than the model they are made for. I have spent a month looking for a Seafire conversion set which is also out of production...

      Hope you find what you are looking for.

        That must be what's happened with the review I posted about the wasp , it is quite deceptive in it says it's airfix and has a conversion set but neglects to say the kit is actually a scout , I have my scout now so I'll have a look for the conversion set
