Great job and pictures! Thanks for shairing. I don't think you will ever see these types in diecast. Just have to build them like you did.

Outstanding work. As for their chances of coming out in diecast form, I think that the Kingfisher is a fairly good bet---possibly by Hobby Master or Altaya/IXO.

I like the Anson,and have one of the Anson Airfix kits sitting on a shelf. I have a WWII documentary that has some nice footage of an Anson taxing by, lot of glass on the sides of that aircraft.

I did a search awhile back for seated WWII aircrew figures, but came up dry. Found quite a few standing aircrew figures though.

This was the special hobby kit .. absolute nightmare to build as the internal structure was resin and all twisted and warped .. i totally scratchbuilt the interior... Please dont buy the SH kit ..

1/72 seated WWII pilot figures are my current 'holy grail' of modelling desires.
