The Chinook, Typhoon FGR.4 and B-24 look cool - I could be interested. The standout for me though is the Shannon Lifeobat - my son's school is next door to my local lifeboat station and that's the type they operate.

I liked the lifeboat as well. I also liked the Buffalo.
Thanks,

The lifeboat and Liberator intrigues me...

Darn, I thought this would be the year they re-tool their 1/72 Arado 196 and Douglas TBD :hmm:
B-24 does look promising -- doubt it will unseat the Hasegawa B-24s though..

Some interesting stuff. A Chinook maybe?

Personally, the Bristol Bulldog does look interesting... :hmm: A nice RAF "Between the Wars" biplane...

Yeah I may have to get that - it's growing on me a lot and it's probably the aircraft I see flying around the most, next to the Hawk T.2s and Texan II.

It's growing on me that - it does look to be a nice moulding.
