Special Hobby is to re-release this month the 1/48 scale Blackburn Roc and the kit includes resin detail parts
”The Roc shipborne turret fighter plane was being developed side by side its sister design, the Skua fighter bomber. Unlike the Skua which did enjoy some operational success during the early stages of the war, the Roc was not so lucky. It still deserves, however, to be remembered, if only for its unorthodox looking concept. The only Blackburn Roc kit in this scale with four scheme options, three of them in FAA colours, plus one with Finnish markings.”

Marking options include:
•Roc Mk.I L3114 / E759. NAS, RNAS Donibristle, November 1939;
•Roc Mk.I L3075 / L6R, 806. NAS, Hatston Airfield, Orkney April 1940;
•Roc Mk.I L3084, 778. NAS, RNAS Lee-on-Solent, May 1940;
•Roc Mk.I RO-143, Finnish Air Force, 1940.

The quarter scale Blackburn Roc Mk.I was a new tool kit in 2007 [Scalemates]

This seriously looks like a Defiant on steroids, I could easily be tempted to land one into my stash! Thanks for the heads-up Tim Cheers, D
