Hopefully, InFlight will do it justice.
Bear in mind the models so far announced are Mk 4000s and that LTU, Iberia & Martinair, all flew the Mk.1000. For info, the 1/200
scale differences are as follows…
Mk.4000 Length 14.8cm Span 12.53cm
Mk.1000 Length 13.7cm Span 11.8cm
There was also the Mk 2000 with longer fuselage & shorter wing. The Mk.3000 had the shorter fuselage & longer wing. The Mk.6000
had longer fuselage, a longer wing with leading edge slats. Later a/c had engine exhaust/silencers fitted.
I hope InFlight don’t do like their Comet and go with a one size for all policy!
As for the price, seems to be the going rate nowadays. I had been thinking of a 3D printed model which actually cost about the
same and would need a lot of work getting it anywhere near a die-cast model finish.
PS. Air Anglia G-JCWW would get my vote. Argosy  |
Sure, one has to keep in mind that one F28 isn’t equal to another F28 version. It’s just about the start of a new line, so wishes are coming.
Even if there was only 1 meter of difference in fuselage length, I’d make that difference and not accept ‘one size for all’ policy. You can do that with basecaps but it is obsolete with scale models since Schabak’s 1/600 models have vanished.
