A new maker of flats Locust Models have announced it's first figure "Dover 1940", 90mm x 60mm one side and engraved by Daniel Lepeltier price tba , it got a lot of interest at the show in Holland at the weekend :)

A review of this will be posted shortly, along with the painting process ;)

That is a very appealing piece, and a nice change from the side-on aircraft we usually see. I like the perspective and the background.
Speaking for myself I would remove the propellor 'disc'. You might see this in a photo but not with the naked eye, and i think it would have been a cleaner figure without it. I will be interested in your review Nick, especially what colour you paint an invisible object!!

Yes, interesting, and I shall be interested to see Nicks painted model.
I have several 3D Hurricane models,yes all right Airfix, and comparing them with the photo there seems to be something a little wrong with the perspective. The port,left wing,the one furthest away seems too slim and the engraved roundel position looks wrong. Probably just me and no doubt Nick will illuminate everything!

Have to agree about the appeal of this as well as the odd roundel on the right wing. Regardless, a definite 'A' for something a bit different.

After being around the real thing I agree with what you stated about the wings and the rounds. If we have any IPMS members in are ranks it should be interesting to see there remarks. Also this should be a challenge to brake out the old ruler and make you own. O the good old days of Airfix modeling. Willie

Editor is Locust Models who are just starting and on this forum so fingers crossed will be producing a series of flats like this, that's all I know at the moment ;)
