Classic British Flight Sim

I wonder, where in the "Classic British" World would models of "Classic British Design Studies" fit in? These would be flightsim models of designs that didn't make it off the drawing board or if they did, didn't quite make it into the air.

A couple spring to mind

- the Hawker "Hunstman" study, a 4-6 place cabin twin engined study off the Hunter. (If I recall, there is a plastic model of this as the "Huntsman CC. Mk.1, as reviewed in one of the SAM or SAMI issues)

- The SARO Princess landplane heavy freighter (six RR Tynes instead of 10)

What do you mean Felix? It would fit in right here.

I'd love to see it if only a modeler would step forward and grace us with his talents.

Felix,

I think you may have come to the right place!

Dave Garwood was looking at the possibility of modelling the Hawker P1121, and we already have one TSR2 with another (probably better ) on the way.

On a personal note, my own to do list (on the basis that I ever manage to get the first one finished) includes quite a number of projects that would fit into this category; Miles M52, Vickers VC7/V1000 (unless Mr Maltby is interested ), Saro 177, Supermarine 545, Rotodyne....

Well, you get the picture. Shame my ability doesn't yet match my ambition.

If I ever get off my sorry behind, I'd finish a rough "Huntsman" and Miles M.20/2, DH Heron, Dove (of the Gordon kind), Beagle-Miles 218 ad nauseam.

I believe Del is tackling the Heron. The M.20 would be nice, just something about it; would look nice in CFS3 as well

Let me qualify - my Heron is that version, the mention of which is banned here as it would throw members into apoplectic convulsions at the visual imagery of pistons pistoning side-to-side, instead of up and down ....
