A few more future releases.

[Wayne Little]

That's a real nice one, got an email about it today myself!

 

[Airframes]

Got the Relish Models newsletter about this today. The UK retail price is £69.99, with a £5 discount on pre-orders at Relish, a UK outlet, for release in June.
A bit pricey perhaps, but hey! - it's a Tempest at last.
Now, I wonder when Revell with release one ......

Some actual shots of the Corsair. Looks good to me!

That Corsair makes me wish I had room for the big guys.......... I would Love to do my Livermore Navy Reserve plane in BIG scale.

According to Britmodeller, AZModel are going to release an updated 1/48 Vultee Vengeance in September to correct the hideous fuselage in the current kit. Looks like the price is set to drop, too - the post on BM was saying 39 Euros for the new kit. I'll take 2 or 3 of them if they follow through on the promise!

Wildcat will probably like this news!

 

[Catch22]

I'd love to build one of those myself actually. I've always liked the look of that plane!

That sounds good....

it does.

seems they are doing a P-47 D, A-36 Spitfire VC to go with the Hurricane IIC.

check out this link ITALERI - Modellismo in scala dal 1962

Think I might be getting one of those, even though it'll be around £30 - Italeri used to be very reasonably priced, but they've been hiking up the prices this last couple of years. I noticed they've also announced a Short Stirling Mk1 - nearly had a heart attack, as I mis-read the scale as 1/48th !! It's 1/72nd, before other people start croking!

My Gawd, yet another Spitfire V.....

Why the hell doesn't somebody do a new XIV?????

Agree on that

 

[Lucky13]

.....or a P-51D, Fw 190A, Bf 109????

 

[Airframes]

I agree too. OK, Spitfires and '109s always sell, but let's have a MkXIV, in high back and low back, and please, manufacturers, look at your best sellers in 1/72nd scale, and make the darned things in 1/48th scale, at mainstream, reasonable prices, as opposed to high-cost, short-run kits !
Halifax, Stirling, Hudson, Whitley, Hampden, Typhoon, Tempest, later Meteor, Hunter (including T7), Gnat, Provost, Jet Provost, and many more, have all been long-term, main sellers in 72nd, so get 'em done in 48th !!
And if Revofix etc don't believe me, just look at how the bidding goes to dizzy heights for OOP short-run kits of the above, both injection moulded and vac-form, on that well-known internet auction site!

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks for that link karl!

 

[Lucky13]

Some here, might find this one interesting....

Jaguar GR.1/GR.3 - 1:48 Kitty Hawk - Aircraft Reviews - Britmodeller.com

 

[Wayne Little]

Yes, i am interested in that one Jan...

 

[rochie]

nice may add one to the stash to compliment my Heller Jaguar already there !

 

[Airframes]

Yep, I might add one to the Heller and ESCI Jags - I could have all three main colour schemes then - not including the black ones, or 'Spotty', as seen at Cosford.

I here Valom is producing 2 versions of the Vickers Wellesly in 1/72. Sadly it is the same two you can make with the Matchbox kit. Hopefully they will make a boxing of the un-official Mark II with the elongated canopy.
