A few more future releases.

[Airframes]

The Italeri 1/48th scale Hurricane MkIIc is now on the shelves with a UK retail price of £29.99, and at Model Hobbies for £26.99.
Merit have released some new 1/18th scale pre-built and painted models, plus a 1/18th scale kit.
The pre-built models include a 'Limited Edition' F-86 Sabre, @ £130 in the UK, which look rather nice, plus a Bf10E @ £99.99 and a Me262 @ £129.99.
The 1/18th scale kit of the SBD-3 Dauntless contains 13 sprues, with over 270 parts, and allows for various options. It retails for £130 in the UK, and is at Model Hobbies for £116.99.
There are also a couple of military model kits, including a 1/18th scale Flak 36 / 88mm, with 350 plastic and metal parts.
Note that the quoted UK prices included EU Value Added Tax, and will vary outside the EU, according to country.

Would be massive, them there 1/18's....

had a look at the sprues for the Italeri Hurricane, looks like you get blank inserts for the places where the cannons/machine guns would go so am wondering if a Mk IID is coming along ?

Saw that Hasegawa is about to re-readrelease their 1/48 J2M5 Jack.....

Another brief round up of a just few future goodies from the following;
Italeri
1/72nd scale Short Stirling Mk1, 1/48th scale Sepecat Jaguar GR1/GR3 (New Tool - from 'Kittyhawk' moulds perhaps?) and a New Tool F-104G Starfighter in 1/32nd scale.
Kinetic
1/32nd scale F/A-18 A/B/C/D US Navy, USMC and Canadian AF.
Master Box
Some 1/32nd scale figures 'Flight and Maintenance Personnel' for RAF, IJAF and Soviet Air Force - presumably WW2, and could be useful.
They are also showing the 1/32nd scale C-47 with para figures, and Ju52/3M with para figures, announced about three years ago - no dates or prices on any of the above yet.
Quite a lot of stuff announced by Trumpeter
1/32nd scale future releases include P-40E, P-40M, P-40N, various Bf109's, a TBD-1 Devastator, F-100F Super Sabre, and what must surely be a big one, a A-6E Intruder.
In 1/24th scale there's a P-51B/C (hope they've got the shape right this time!!), FW 190A-6/A-8, Ju 87A, and Ju 87D.
Again, no dates or prices for the Trumpeter kits, but I'm guessing they won't be 'beer money' prices!

 

[Catch22]

A new 1/32nd Hornet? Geeze.

 

[Crimea_River]

Who the hell is "Master Box"? New one to me.

 

[Airframes]

Andy, they've been around for some time, ten years or more, concentrating mainly on 1/35th scale military figures, vehicles and diorama accessories etc.
The C-47 and Ju52/3M were originally announced as 1/35th scale kits, about three years ago. Advertising showed pictures of finished models with the paratrooper figures, and these kits were presumably designed to fit into their range of excellent diorama items. But then nothing more was heard - until now, with the Hannant's web-site now showing these as 1/32nd scale, not 1/35th.

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks Terry. I guess the fact that I don't model figures or rarely do dioramas explains why I had not heard of them.

 

[Wayne Little]

Spotted this one....

 

[Lucky13]

A '13'!?

 

[Wayne Little]

A '13'!?

Thought you would spot that real quick!

 

[Crimea_River]

Price should be interesting. I saw their 1/48 Me 410 at my LHS for a hundred smacks the other day.

 

[Lucky13]

Thought you would spot that real quick!

Yip!

 

[chobi]

great stuff, been holding off their other 410 as i didnt want the big gun version

 

[Crimea_River]

It's a pricey kit where I live. Close to a hundred bucks at my LHS. It has to be a LOT better that the Revell one for that kind of money.

 

[Wayne Little]

The 410 is pretty pricey down here too...
