A few more future releases.

I agree - in this scale, rivets are not much of a problem and, as you mentioned, they can be added if really required.
I'd love to see Airfix release some 'biggies' in 1/48th scale, and a B-17 would be welcome, along with a Lanc and Halifax of course !

 

[Crimea_River]

Halifax first - a neglected subject IMO.

I certainly agree with you there Andy, and it would also be very interesting to see a Stirling in 1/48th scale, too !
Having just finished their old 1/72nd scale kit, it really brought it home to me just how massive this aircraft was, and this would really be noticeable in the larger scale.
A few 'mediums' wouldn't go amiss either - Whitley, Hampden, and of course Blenheim and Beaufort. And then there's that 1/48th scale Vulcan, rumoured a few years back !
But first - where the **** is the Spitfire Mk.XIV ???!!!

 

[Crimea_River]

I passed on two of the Academy Spit XIVs when I did the appraisal for the museum auction a couple of weeks ago. I could have picked one up but am SURE a new tool will come up soon..............

 

[Airframes]

I know how to get a new tool Mk.XIV.
I'll start work on the Hobbycraft version I converted to a PR19, and convert it back to a Mk.XIV, and at the same time start work on a second HC Mk.XIV. Just before I get them finished, Airfix will release a new tool Mk.XIV !!!!

 

[Robert Porter]

Yup that is usually a sure fire way to get one! Sort of like the old quickest way to get a bus to arrive is light a cigarette!

 

[Wayne Little]

all sounds about right....

 

[Robert Porter]

Some interesting releases from the show: The Modelling News: Charlie's Shizuoka Hobby Show 2017 report, all that's new, weird and wonderful...

 

[Airframes]

Some good stuff there.

 

[Lucky13]

I think my wallet just fainted!

 

[Wayne Little]

Not a bad selection of stuff....

 

[Capt. Vick]

I want the 1:1 scale model zero

WHEN AND HOW MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On another note, Tanmodels is looking at making a Blenheim Mk.IV and an SR-71A Blackbird. That mutha will be huge and $$$$$$$$$$$ methinks

 

[Airframes]

Karl has been patiently waiting for the Buc since it was announced last year, whilst watching Airfix examples sell for silly money !

 

[rochie]

WHEN AND HOW MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Late summer they are saying on Fb Geo.

As Terry says i have been waiting with bated breath for this kit

 

[Airframes]

Well, let's hope it's better than the nightmare Airfix kit, and made of plastic, not some alien material that's file resistant !
I might be tempted to get one myself - after I've seen yours, Karl !
