Spotted some interesting new, and future releases in the Hannant's newsletter.

Due next week from a NEW manufacturer, with an 'imaginative' name (!) - Wingsy are releasing their first kit, in 1/48th scale, of the Mitsubishi A5M2b Type 96. Looks quite good, although perhaps a bit pricey for a 1/48th scale fighter, at £39.99 UK price.
Details at Hannant's, or at www.wingsykits.com

Some new stuff coming from ICM too, with a few 1/72nd scale new releases, which I didn't note down, some more versions of their 1/48th scale Ju-88, and one which should really fly off the shelves, a 1/48th scale Heinkel He-111H-3 (just because I searched and fell foul of HM Customs trying to get the Revell/Monogram example !).
For fans of Russian aircraft, there's a also a MiG 25 in 1/48th scale, and two versions of the Polikarpov I-16, the Type 24 in 1/32nd scale, and the Type 28 in 1/48th scale. These are due in the 2nd quarter of the new year, with the Heinkel due in the 3rd quarter. No prices yet, but if that He-111 is a good as their Dornier and Ju88, I'll be breaking my 'No More Kits' rule !

Look forward to seeing the He 111

Thanks for the update Terry. I need to find some shelf space for 1/48 multi-engined machines......

I need to find some shelf space for a single-engined Terry !!

That Claude looks pretty good!

 

[Lucky13]

I see that ICM, is really going to be busy next year, in 1/35!

 

[Wayne Little]

Claude is not bad, the Fine Molds release is a superb kit.

One I missed from the new Airfix kits for 2017 is their new, 1/72nd scale B-25C Mitchell, which looks to be very well detailed, internally and externally. Pity it wasn't released a few months ago, in 1/48th scale !
Also in 1/72nd scale, is their superb new Victor, the new B-17G, and Blenheim Mk.IV, as well as a Spitfire PR.19 and the British Phantom and Shackleton AEW 2.
It would be nice to see the Mitchell, Blenheim and Phantom repeated in 1/48th scale, but first - where the **** is the Spitfire Mk.XIV ??!!

 

[Lucky13]

I'm quite tempted (even if in the wrong scale) to try that Blenheim....

This came up as a pre-order from here...LuckyModel.com - BOBCAT HOBBY Yakovlev Yak-28P "Firebar" (BC-48001)

​

Never heard of Bobcat kits before but it seems like a very good price

EDIT: apparently it used to be called Xuntong Models.

 

[Wayne Little]

Not bad....haven't heard of either George...

Saw this on Hyperscale...

That should be a good one.

I read somewhere, meant to post a link here and now can't find it, that Eduard has released new tool BE109's in late 2016. Their catalog implies that but I don't see a release date although they are now available.

 

[Crimea_River]

Awesome. Robert I think the Eduard release was in response to their originally messed up 109G kit that was widely panned for being over scale. The new tool fixed that.

The Zvezda offering is great competition if it matches or exceeds their F series.

 

[fubar57]

Very nice. 233 parts....yikes

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice! I like the Yak
