Hi all,

Does anyone a company that makes 1980 style RAF pilots and ground equipment in 1/72 scale?

This can be a nice addition to my Canberra PR9 that is currently being finished.

I already saw that PJ productions makes a 1/72 pilot, so I will looking for that to see if it us usable.

But what about ground crew and equipment?

Flight path have recently released a set of ladders specific to the Canberra http://www.djparkins.com/acatalog/1_72nd_post_war_RAF_RN.html

At the bottom of the page you'll also find trailers and things for oxygen/starting engines, etc

Thanks a lot Ben,

I ordered ladders and FOD covers and a trolley. This will be nice additions to my Canberra PR9 display.

Yesterday I received my Flightpath MK5 starter trolley. Upon opening the envelope, I was quite surprised to see a neat little kit: a part of resin, representing the main body, but also a small fret of PE and several parts that appear to be metal.

All in all over 30 parts all together for a kit that is only 2cm by 4cm by 2cm!

Jurrie (from Benelux) asked me to write a small review about it, so if anyone is interested, I can write an English version as well.
