Unless you look on Shapeways, I'm pretty sure there isn't. |

 is a "Valiant Brnk-1"? If that's not a BPRK-1, I'm a Dutchman. And I suspect it's from 90 Sqn, based at Gaydon.
All the best, John. |

Actually, I think Tumbling Dice does make the Valiant, in metal. |

I hesitate to buy the TD model but they are the only game in town so to speak. The TD model just looks a bit odd. |

I saw some horrific footage when I was in the RAF of one crashing during an air display at RAF Syerston – during a low-level high-speed pass, the skin of one wing just peeled away from the wingtip and the whole aircraft then just rolled over into the ground. I think it was one of the accidents that got the whole fleet grounded and binned. |

The Valiant had a very high incidence of fatal accidents, given that only 107 were ever built. |

The TD needs a LOT of filing to make it look good. Cheers
