Got today an e-mail from Silver Wings with the list of their planned 2014 releases:
1/32 Boeing Stearman PT-13D/N2S-2
1/32 Fokker D.XXI
1/32 Curtiss P6E Hawk
1/32 Yak 9
1/32 Reggiane 2000 Falco
Of course I'm very interested in the Falco
but the Yak 9 should be a nice subject too.
About future release, they listed the following:
1:32 Lavochkin La-5
1:48 Northrop A17A
1:32 Heinkel He-112
1:32 Gloster Gauntlet
1:32 Aichi D3A Val
1:32 Nakajima B5N Kate
1:32 Curtiss Falcon
Again some very interesting subjects.
In the mail they don't say if they will be made of resin or low run injected plastic, will see.

The Reggiane 2000 Falco would look good in Swedish colours! 8)

Like this one:
If I'm not wrong, the above is the only preserved Re 2000 existing.

The other nice thing is that once they have released the Re 2000 it should be easy to issue also the one with the DB 601 engine: Re 2001
or one of those "cottage industries", could make a conversion kit including the new nose.

Good news for Corsair fans (maybe) - Hobby Boss have announced no less than 10 kits of the bent-wing bird, in 1/48th scale. They also have listed a 1/48th scale Hawker Typhoon, plus some other interesting stuff. And, from Academy, a 1/48th scale P-51B/C Mustang 'D-Day' kit.
There are quite a few other interesting aircraft kits in the offing, in the three most popular scale of 1/72nd, 1/48th and 1/32nd, from various manufacturers, and also military vehicles, including a 'U.S. 2.5 ton airfield truck', in 1/48th scale, from Tamiya.
I'll try to list some of these in more details when i have a bit more free time.

My LHS has the Tamiya Duece and half on the shelf already. Two kits as a matter fact.

Ah, so it sounds like just a variation of their existing kit then? Thought it might have been a fuel truck or something else.

10? I had heard that they were doing an AU-1, and just a few days ago noticed a -7, but that must mean they're doing the whole line. I know that their kits have pre-clipped wings, so I can see an FAA version being in the cards.
Here's the list. They certainly went all out... Odd that they'd do a Mk III (Brewster build -1A) and not a IV (FG-1D). It'll be interesting to see if they're any good. Their -4s seem to be ok. The AU-1 is welcome since the Hasegawa ones are a pain in the rear to find.

80382 Chance-Vought F4U-1 Corsair 'Late Version'
80383 Chance-Vought F4U-1A Corsair
80384 Chance-Vought F4U-1D Corsair
80385 Chance-Vought F4U-2 Corsair
80389 Chance-Vought F4U-5 Corsair
80390 Chance-Vought F4U-5N Corsair 'Early Version'
80391 Chance-Vought F4U-5N Corsair 'Late Version'
80393 Chance-Vought AU-1 Corsair
80394 Chance-Vought Corsair Mk I
80395 Chance-Vought Corsair Mk II
80396 Chance-Vought Corsair Mk III

Not sure, both kits were the same, they also had a Russian tank kit, a German tank kit, and a British tank kit. All listed at or around $35.oo.
be interesting to see what they do with the Typhoon, the Tamiya and Hasegawa examples are very expensive and the Revell/Monogram one though looks good when finished could do with updating !
