Default Diecast Fulmar
I spotted this Fulmar on the Nuemberg web site. I don't know what scale it is but I want one. Any body got more info?

Not one for me I'm afraid, but it looks nice that for sure!

Is it really a diecast model?

Fairey Fulmar would be neat to see done in diecast. I would be wanting a few of those.

I could be wrong DC but it looks very like the east European "Vista" 1/72 plastic model that has more recently been re-released by Revell. Its not a bad rendition altough I have always found the nose a tad unconvincing. I have recently sold two of these as I am off loading my plastic collection although I still have a half made one somewhere! It would made a lovely diecast companion for the Corgi Sea Glad. Sea Hurri., and Swordfish to have one of these in diecast. Like CC I would be wanting more than one.

I had my own doubts, opened the Nuemberg link and scrolled down to the last four pictures, still not sure. I would get a couple if they are diecast.

Sorry DC but that is a plastic 1/72 kit made by MPM it is a another release with new decals for two civil schemes there is one already up on E Bay

PS the Airfix kit is from the same stable but with out the resin parts so making it cheaper

double bummer. Figured it was too good to be true. But since we've got a Gannet there's always hope...

A new kit from MPM...SH72196 Fairey Fulmar Mk.II "Civilian Service" 1/72

Certainly looks diecast with a finish like that. Just shows what can be done with plastic.

If diecast is not viable I hope Corgi/Hornby/Airfix may consider an 'Easy Model' range for stuff like this with a 'matt' finish where applicable, maybe with metal parts etc.
