1.72 westland wasp

[Carl-1245274]

Hi, just thought I would add my thought to the wishlist for new kits. I would love to see a westland wasp in 1:72 as it would be the perfect accompaniment for the large scale late 60s early 70s warships. The scout conversion is one way but a proper kit would certainly sell. Carl

The late Mel Bromley announced 1/48 and 1/72 Wasp kits in his S & M Kits range, but he passed before they came to fruition. Hannant's are still listing them as future releases, but whether any metal was cut for tooling, or who now owns S & M assets remains to be seen.

I had put in orders for those.

 

 

I suggested a modern Scout / Wasp kit to Hornby last year when they looked for suggestions. The Wasp in particular was used by a number of nations (NZ of course, the Dutch too) so there could be some interesting decal options. Hornby ends up with two kits for for the price of one. I think they would be popular and would go a long way to replacing the crude old Airfix kit.

Would love the old Scout model to be rereleased in the vintage range. Given the price that these go for on the internet it would be a good seller!

E-bay prices only indicate what collectors are willing to pay for old kits in old packaging.
