1/144 WWII Airspeed AS.58 Mk II (Horsa II) - CGD

1/144 WWII Airspeed AS.58 Mk II (Horsa II) - CGD

CGDs newest release is something a little different to normal, so some of you will  like it and others will be challenged by it!?

After seeing the success of German glider landings during the early stage of WWII, The British Air Ministry issued a specification for a glider to the company Airspeed. The horsa was developed. Mark I has a port side door-ramp and could carry 28 fully armed soldiers. Mark II the improved version had a hinged nose for direct loading of vehicles and guns. Tail section can also dropped off after landing for quick exit of troops and equipment.

The Horsa was first used in an unsuccessful attack on German Heavy Water Plant at Rjukan, Norway in November 1942. Its major use started from the invasion of Sicily in July 1943, followed by D-Day, invasion of Southern France, Arnhem in 1944 and in the Rhine Crossing in March 1945.

1/144 Westland Wessex HU.5/HU.5C - Mark. 1

1/144 Westland Wessex HU.5/HU.5C - Mark. 1

A British licence development of the Sikorsky S-58, the Westland Wessex was a general purpose duties all-metal helicopter produced by Westland Aircraft Ltd.

The Wessex HU.5, basically similar to the HC.2, represented the last version for the Royal Navy. It was powered by twin R-R Gnome turboshaft engines, which provided enough power and added safety for carrying troops into action.

A pre-production aircraft flew in May 1963 and a total of 100 machines were deliverered between 1963 and 1967. The HU.5 was also used in SAR, communications, fire support, air ambulance, paratrooping and ferrying roles. Following distinguished service the type was eventually withdrawn from RN service in March 1988.

Wessex HU.5C was a designation for a small batch of aircraft deployed to No.84 Squadron at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, serving there in the period 1984-94.

A British licence development of the Sikorsky S-58, the Westland Wessex was a general purpose duties all-metal helicopter produced by Westland Aircraft Ltd.

In the period 1976-96 the Wessex was used in the SAR role under the designation HAR.2. Covering both day and night call-outs, they carried out invaluable work in air, sea and mountain rescue roles.

A total of 72 Wessex HC.2s were built by Westland, the last of which was delivered in July 1968. It provided a lengthy service, flying with units both in the UK and overseas, with the last machines withdrawn in January 2003.

1/144 Vickers Windsor and Boeing B-17 B/C/D - Anigrand

1/144 Vickers Windsor and Boeing B-17 B/C/D - Anigrand

The Vickers Windsor is an interesting technological development resulting in a number of prototypes being produced, but ultimately upgrades to the Lancaster proved more cost effective. Nice subject and hopefully will have some interesting bonuses - Vickers Type 432,Martin Baker MB 5? A Vickers Victory would make a good future Anigrand 'Huge Bird' release!

The Boeing B-17B/C/D is a strange choice, will this be a 3 in 1 series, or just the one with parts for 3 options? If the latter, then this is going to be a small kit and maybe some more impressive bonuses?

Well, it would appear that S&M Models had recently issued their Vickers Windsor.

However, there are the two recurring problems with S&M
   i) their name and the internet don't mix well,
   ii) they don't appear to have a website (and if they do its impossible to find due to issue (1))
