scooter Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi all. I'm looking to get a copy of the article from the Scale Aviation Modeler Jan.79 edition, on the Westland Wasp conversion. Any feedback or effort very much appreciated. I assume its an Airfix 1/72 Westland Scout conversion or maybe a 1/48 Fujimi Scout to Wasp.. (not sure when they released the Fujimi Wasp). Thanks in advance. Adam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loach Driver Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Freightdog are currently working on a Wasp in 1/72 but there is no release date, unfortunately. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234907109-freightdog-models-westland-wasp/ LD.

aircav Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 From what Colin and Jon siad at Telford it should be next year, 2014. One thing to remember about the Airfix Scout is that it was modelled on the prototype and is smaller that the inservice Scout and there for the Wasp too if you convert one.

scooter Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 I had heard it was actually listed for a Q1/12 release, so that clears that up. So on the same note then, how accurate is the Fujimi 1/48 Wasp & Scout? Adam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JOHN Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Here is some of what I have collected including the SAM article. John http://s197.photobucket.com/user/JJELLIS_PHOTO/library/Westland%20Wasp%20Scout?sort=9&page=1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircav Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Hi Adam, Fujimi only do a 1/48 Wasp, I know there is a box of their's with a Scout on the front but its a Wasp inside. The kit itself, it needs a lot of work to get an accurate Wasp, about the only thing you keep is the fuselage and main blades. Here's a couple more drawing's All the best Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scooter Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Thank you everyone for the info. I have downloaded the items on Photobucket images. ...I wish someone with an Airwaves set would make a resin copy! Cheers Adam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
