    Wait, are you saying that doesn’t need fuel?

    IMHO the market is probably military vehicle modellers, rather than aircraft modellers wanting to build a diorama with a tanker.

      Is that even a complete glider? I know Bronco do the tail and wings. I thought I saw a Dakota a few years ago but that may have been wishful thinking.

        I can only think of one 1/35 aircraft that may be relevant to a RAF tanker & that is the Bronco Piper Cub!

            I’m not sure whether that tanker was used in North Africa, but if not, then that’s not a problem either:

                I've a 1/35 Academy MH-60 Pave Hawk in the stash. I suspect that might be a little to modern as well as the other side of the ocean though.

                    Could always use a Bell 47?
                    Mark it up with UK markings

                      I thought this was a paper concept, but was surprised to read that two prototypes were actually built........

                        “Four scheme and decals” provided — that makes me think they’re marketing this as a “what if” model rather than as the prototype. Unless one or both of those were tested in markings not just of the UK, but Canada, New Zealand and Australia as well, which kind of seems unlikely …?

                          It's a pity none of the 'drivers' are actually driving!

                            Probably a fact that staff officers drivers spend more time waiting than driving.........plus if they made them driving they would probably won't fit what you want them to.......
