Post Re: If you had the resources to start your own diecast company

Pse Nimrod, do warn me as soon as you take pre-orders, I'd like the Sea Vixen, Sea Hawk and Scimitar...

We might be lucky with the Sea Vixen & Javelin planenuts I would have thought they must be on Corgis list of to do planes, both would make mighty impressive models...... may be a Binbrook Javelin FAW 9/9R to go with the Binbrook Lightning?

Cool Re: If you had the resources to start your own diecast company

Perhaps, but I tend to consider the Sea Hawk and Venom as more serious contenders : Both are much smaller and had been more widely in use...

Re: If you had the resources to start your own diecast company

I would probably need the recources of a Russian oil billionaire to finance my choices as the market would be impossibly small for the types I have in mind being mostly British jets from the 40s through to the 60s. http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/contents.html
1. TSR2 (Duxford) 1:72 scale ( would undertake customer commisions for what if schemes) non limited issue ***
2. De Havilland Sea Vixen 1:72
3. Gloster Javelin 1:72
4. Supermarine Scimitar 1:72
5. Hawker Sea Hawk 1:72
6. Supermarine Swift 1:72
7. Avro Vulcan 1:72
8. Handley Page Victor 1:72
9. Vickers Valiant 1:72
10. Avro Arrow 1:72 ***
11. BAE Nimrod 1:72

A comprehensive range of ground personnel & support vehicles & equipment would be available in 1:72, 1:48 &1:32 scales, I am sure to think of more but these would be enough to go on with.


Nimrod,.... mmmmm....... Over here it's often a term used to describe someone of less than adequate sensibility.

HOWEVER, I do like your list. Swop the Arrow and the TSR 2 and we have a deal..... sign me up

Re: If you had the resources to start your own diecast company

A few others I'd add to the "Early Jets" range- MiG-15, 17, 19, and early 21.
I'd also add the MiG-15UTI to the two seat range.
