    Tasty 1/32 USN treat for you all!

    Apparently, HpH are disappointed by the low level of sales of the resin C-47, and believe IM plastic would sell better...

    I, for one was excited at the idea of a 1/32 DC-3 (not C-47, btw), but at its current price point, the C-47 is 20% above my max price threshold, and I am probably of the few with that high a threshold anyway ...

    You don’t really need expensive tempered glass for the shelves : the kits are bulky, but not that heavy, like, say, the books in a standard book-shelf. Maybe you can even use perspex (but static electricity will attract dust better than a magnet with pins) and of course, there is the option of solid wood for the shelves themselves ...

    Good to know!  Thanks. Was actually a real question too. 

    ... Although, in fairness, the only good maple syrup you can buy in France is imported from Canada ... (whereas there is some good peanut butter produced this side of the pond, notably in The Netherlands).

    1/32 PZL P.11c supposedly coming in 2020 from IBG Models

    It certainly isn't high on my to-do list but I wouldn't say no if you handed the kit to me right now. As there isn't a huge amount of Russian aircraft in 1/32 once you subtract the variants of the existing stuff like the 200 different I-16 kits ICM has boxed so far, I would likely buy one eventually just to have another Russian plane so they don't feel outnumbered by the Japanese and Germans.

    At the moment, however, I would like to see more Italian and non-fighter Japanese subjects but IBG don't do that and my sadness is not their problem.

    But they could do a Pe-2 or -3 in 1/32, and if they want my money they better get on it muy rápido. Maybe if I buy enough P.11's they can fund the tooling?

    If I may, the PZL P11 has NOTHING at all to do with Russian origin. PZL was a Polish company, founded by by the talented engineer Zulawski. It still exists today, and continue to produce some indignenous designs.

    As for confounding Poland and Russia, considering the centuries-old antagonism between the two nations, and the still-existing lack of love between them, this might be viewed as a tad insensitive ... B)

    Enough with pompous geo/historical lecturing :). This kit seems vey god news to me (even though I already have the SW kit in the stash ;) )
