Now I don't want to steal Ilya's thunder, but here's a new photo he just added to his Facebook page.....
(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h77/airbag2/11173415_1576737509264161_5564918975543567610_n_zpsqtilp7bq.jpg)
Ilya will no doubt be along with some details soon, so I'll leave you with this teaser. Suffice to say that a certain Coyote will be pleased with the scale (and the subject, no doubt!). Really very excited about this one! It will have AWFUL decals, mind you...... :)

MMMMmmm...At first I thought it was a Bristol,but that fuel tank on the wing is throwing me?
-
WooHOO! Wonderful news, Rowan! Ilya had sent me some profiles put together by a certain decal manufacturer known for rather dodgy stickers that may or may not adhere properly (may the "gentleman" responsible for that bit of dribble burn in modeling hell), but he swore me to secrecy. Are we letting the cat out of the bag?
Cheers,
Bud

Not a Bristol.
Hint: "One small step for man…"
-
......... Are we letting the cat out of the bag?
Not entirely, as I said, Ilya posted this on his FB page, so it's "out there" but I'll let him do the full reveal on here when he's ready! This is just a bit of pre-pub....
-
FK ?
-
Whit are you talking about, Bo? Is it worth it?
-
"One small step".........
Will the boys all go Lunar? Will they want to Neil at Ilya's feet?
But does the reference to a certain Coyote mean it will be in 1/48???
PS...for those who survived "that other site".......I remember well the references to "stickers that don't stick". If I am not mistaken that phrase surfaced after I posted a positive review of the Albatros stickers. If that wasn;t the first use of it, I'm still pretty sure that that was the thread that finally lead to the showdown at the OK Corral. Yeah, that guy was a real albatross, better known by its slang name, Gooney Bird. He and the "Village Idiot". Dang, too bad we are spread across the globe....I'd say we could all meet at the local and hoist a round to being free of that crew.

ah ahh ah Bevis ah ahhh did he quote Neil Armstrong? ahh ah

What a big ack!
Of dutch origins....

You might even say that it was Kool...... Fred.

oooh! An Armstrong-Whitworth FK8 (late model with Brisfit undercarriage and side rads)....in what scale though? The only 1:72 one was Pegasus and that was an early model and was pretty basic.....I'm guessing 1:48 as it's CSM......(if the pic is on FB the cat is already out of the bag....)

Well, I, for one, will keep hand firmly wrapped around the opening of said bag until Ilya adds words to the picture. But you're right, Ian. Shhh.
Cheers,
Bud

there were so many variants of brit types,its harder sometime to pick out the details especially with the skin off. but it has to be as mentioned by a few guys aw fk-8 variant. another so ugly its cool brit bird like the re8,be2 etc.etc.etc. tis is great news.

What scale do we think this will be?
-
What scale do we think this will be?
the clue is in the first post
-
What scale do we think this will be?
"A certain coyote will be pleased with the scale" -- can only mean 4.191 meters = 1 furlong
-

Ah! 1 furlong, or 1 long furrow = 10 chains or 40 rods.
4.191 meters = .2083 chains or .8333 rods.
But, to be technical, a US furlong, scaled appropriately for this topic = 4.19100833 metres as compared to the imperial furlong which equates to 4.191 metres. We need to get this right or Mr Pheons stickers might be up to 1/1,000,000 of 4.191 metres too big! ???
Which just wouldn't do!
With the comforting knowledge that I have meaningfully contributed to this topic, I shall now return to my glass of red ;D
cheers all.

it will be 1/48. all copper state models have always be 1/48. it is a great scale imho. 1/72 is too small,this makes it too hard to put reasonable detail in a matter more than just a suggestion that the detail exists. 1/32 is a nice size but its big enuff that one can get lost in super detailing parts to a realistic scale interpretation of the real thing. 1/48 is great because its large enuff to add reasonable detail(my opinion) but not so large to need the super duper details and take up a whole kitchen table with 3 models. all my views of course but these things plus the fact that there are many more diff types in 1/48 than 1/32 available makes it most attractive to me.

Ilya added more photos to his facebook page. Check it out.

-
Incredible!! This much detail in "coyote" scale? ;D
George
-
It looks as though he's doing both cowlings - the square and the rounded, as well as long and short radiators! Should make for plenty of options, especially if both gear options are catered for too!
Ian
-
yep, i like the version you did ian with the squared off cowl and large voisin like "A" frame radiators .i am eager to see what comes in each of the 3 diff releases. i am sure 1 early and 1 late but its the special limited release that has me intrigued.
-
this is great news edgar, i know the 1/48 guys on this forum are interested,this means me.
