Choose my next build

Oh, cool. I hope it's an earlier version from the usual Mk.5/T5A/Strikemaster hybrid kit.
Has to be the Jet Provost Rick, with the Shackleton on standby.

It will be a T3/3A Joe.

With less than a week to go and interest dwindling the JP is in the lead so I took the liberty of indulging in a pair of resin seats for it. In the week that the government finally ordered P-8's from Boeing to end the UK's "capability holiday" in the MPA role maybe the Poseidon will get built next year if the Spy in the Sky SIG is popular, I might even finish it before the RAF takes delivery of the first aircraft! I can see the Shackleton getting pushed to later next year.


jet Provost T5 it seems?

Shackleton for me.

Why do you need luck Steve to find out about the sword kits?


All I need to do is politely ask Rick to give us some sprue shots of the provost and I'm sure he will oblige us


And as it's clearly everyone's favourite at the moment I'm sure we will see it on the bench shortly .................. :P

I like the Shackleton idea as I have it on my wish list and also coming from its previous design the Lancaster/ Lancastrian etc it has to be the Shackleton.!!


My thoughts personally over the Nimrod withdrawal were premature and the new converted jet liner ?? But saying that wasn't the Nimrod an updated Dehavilland Comet?


Well I like the Shackleton and have never seen one in the flesh so to speak but it looks awesome, and deadly but with graceful lines ( my thoughts )

Avro Shackleton for me.

Not to find out about them, to build them! My experience with Sword plastic (they also do the injection molded parts for PCM) is that it takes some work. There's nothing wrong with that as long as you are not expecting a modern Tamiyaesque kit.

I voted the Shackleton simply as I like the way it looks.

[rickoshea52]

I wonder if I can return that JP detailing set???

[rickoshea52]

Shackleton for me.

This would be the first Sword kit to cross my workbench...and maybe the last?

[rickoshea52]

Three days to go and the Shackleton takes the lead by a whisker; will I need to make room for a big aircraft on my shelf?

I've just had a look at your photo alongside your mates....How come you're the only one wearing s****y overalls?

[The Migrant]

Doh. 5 minutes too late to vote! FWIW, I was going to vote for the Jet Provost – only 'cos it's on my wishlist and I'd like to see how it goes together

[rickoshea52]

Shackleton it is then by two votes.
