A few more future releases.

Darn - the link doesn't seem to be working.

Here you go old boy!

MENG's first new scale aircraft kit of new series turns up!

MENG will start selling its first 1/48 scale aircraft model kit of the LS series soon. This is Messerschmitt Me-410B-2/U4 heavy fighter known as a bomber-killer. In this kit, cockpit details are accurately reproduced; gun turret in the center of the fuselage can rotate; assembly angle of flap, aileron, elevator and rudder can be selected; engine parts are precisely represented. Having seen many MENG 1/72 "small" aircraft kits, you should not miss this big one!

My anti-virus stopped a phishing attempt at the Meng website Terry so maybe your security settings blocked access to the site.

Thanks for posting Jan.

That's probably the reason Andy, and thanks Jan.
Looks interesting, but what's 'Longiceps', and who are 'Meng'? Sounds like something out of 'Flash Gordon' !!

 

[Crimea_River]

Don't know a lot about them either. Just saw the news on Hyperscale and hit the link. I expect HS may review it as soon as it pops onto the market.

 

[Wayne Little]

Shouldn't be long before we know!

 

[Lucky13]

.....and we all are gonna want one or, it'll fall like a pancake!

Anytime lads!

 

[Wayne Little]

You first Jan!

Revell have now released a 1/48th scale P-47N at £16.99 in the UK (Oh look, a sensible price, instead of £40+ !!).
Eduard have added a 1/4 scale Bf109E instrument panel to their range, at £22.25, quite a bit more than their Bf110 panel, but looks nice - quite tempted!

 

[rochie]

have seen an italeri P-40 E/K for sale is that new or a re release ?

 

[Airframes]

It was originally listed as a 'Future release' at Hannant's Karl, but not sure if it's new, or a re-release, which is why I haven't posted it before.
I think they had a P-40 in their range at one time, but don't know which version.

 

[rochie]

Yep i've built the P-40 N they did and think this might be new

 

[Airframes]

I think you're right, as Hannant's normally state if a kit is a re-release.

 

[Airframes]

Couple of new arrivals at Hannant's, both 1/48th scale :-

Academy F4B Phantom, VF-111 @ £34.99
Fly BAC Strikemaster, a tad pricey at £31.60, but looks interesting, with a number of markings options, including RNZAF. Could easily be converted to a JP5 I would think too.

 

[Lucky13]

Yip! ....and me want that phantom! When I first read 'multi coloured', I thought 'f*ck, one of those ones', until I realised that they've done a 'Matchbox'....black, grey and white sprues...

Looks reasonable - wonder if they'll release a FGR2 and/or FG1 at a similar price? Beats the almost £60 of a certain other manufacturer, with their 'British' Phantoms more expensive than their other Phantoms.

 

[Lucky13]

Also saw in one of the reviews, that their (Hasegawa's) 1/72 Phantoms cost sometimes more than their 1/48 counterparts!
Another thing, would like to hear their excuse for their prices, looking at the weapons that you get with this one!

One can always hope old boy!

hope so Dogsbody

Just noticed that Fly have also released the BAC Jet Provost T5 alongside the previously mentioned Strikemaster, so no need to convert. Both are slightly cheaper at Model Hobbies, at around £28 each.

That looks real interesting Jan!
