A few more future releases.

[Airframes]

Hasegawa prices (in the UK at least) are just ridiculous - average price, for a 1/72nd scale 'fighter size' kit, is around £30 to £35 !!!
That's just daylight robbery !

One for Jim ?

Just seen on Fb

I watched a show yesterday, Flory Models, and there was a discussion of the fact that Tamiya, Hasegawa, HobbyBoss, Airfix and several others were boosting prices by as much as 12% in the near future! Please say it is not so!

It'll be blamed on the price of oil no doubt.
Strange that, when oil prices fall, as they did quite dramatically last year, the price of kits doesn't go down .............. let's just hope the price of pigs doesn't escalate, or won't be able to afford bacon !!

 

[Robert Porter]

You speak blasphemy! No bacon! Not thinkable!

One for Jim ?

Oh yeah!

 

[Wayne Little]

Better get that organised Jim.

Just announced from Fly Models, for release in late 2017, is a 1/72nd scale Bristol 170 Freighter, which I think will interest Evan, and perhaps a few others. Price TBA.
The only other 'Freighters' I know of in this scale, were the old Airfix 'Superfreighter', perhaps a vac-form kit, and a resin conversion kit, so this should be welcome by many.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Oh count me in on that one Terry.

Also hear that Valom is releasing a line of North American Aviation B-45 Tornados in 1/72 scale. Including one in RAF marking (spy plane). Can't imagine it would be worse than Mach 2's "kit".

My buddy's ship model shop may or may not start selling my instructions for a topsail schooner

Eduard are advertising a March release of a reboxed Hasegawa Car-door Typhoon. At 60 bucks, its still less than I've seen Hasegawa charge for it and yet it comes with a PE detail set, resin parts, and better decals. If I didn't have two already, I'd consider getting it.

Tiffy 1/48

The First World War aircraft in the current Group Build have sparked an interest among a few of us, so have a look at the string of release, in 1/32nd scale, from Wingnut Wings, These can be seen at Model Hobbies web site, where the latest arrivals are shown.

As much as I would like one, I did a shufti around the web and found out that A) pretty expensive and II) "modeling" skills required. These were possibly 1st generation kits, (one was a reboxing of a Grand Phoenix kit) so it'll be interesting to see one built

Some 1/48 Japanese bombers would be good...
