I admit to a spate of building the Tamiya 1/12 F1 cars, they used to take a couple of months each.

Airfix are bringing out a 1:72 Tucano in 2012 and they used to do a jet provost / strike master in 1:72, but it doesn't appear to be in their current line up. You can get one easily enough on e-bay though.

Airfix have done both the Jet Provost T.5 and Tucano in 1:72nd scale, they should be available in some shops or EBay.

I made the Matchbox Strikemaster, not that different to a JP.

Actually you might be better off building the Matchbox Strikey and getting decals to finish it as a Jet Provost, the Airfix one (which has also been issued as a Strikey) took some fettling to go together well.

And that appears to be the saga of Airifx. To us enthusiastic young lads in the sixties, dodgy scaling, cutting excess flash off and having to 'fettle' parts together seemed to be par for the course - we didn't know any better - ! Having experienced the more expensive, but VASTLY superior Tamiya mouldings since, I've realised how basic Airfix kits were and still are - !:lol:

The 1/72 B52 kit I made was made by Tamiya. And on the subject of models not seen, Airfix made a Comet why didnt they also do a Nimrod? Or if they did I never saw one!

The Nimrod was brought out not long ago - it should be easily available. I think it's about £30.
