    I mentioned it in another post in the « Buy, sell, swap » section of the forum, but SW have decided to re-release, on a limited basis, a number of their discontinued kits. The production run is based on firm (i.e. pre-paid) orders from the customers, so will match the actual numbers of customers for each. The deadline for receiving these orders is September 10th, so there are only three days left for you to act if you want one of those. The list of reissued kits is : · 1/32 Bristol Bulldog Mk IIA · 1/32 Hawker Hart · 1/32 A. W. Siskin IIIA · 1/32 Fairey Flycatcher · 1/32 Heinkel He-51 · 1/32 Heinkel He-51 B2 Needles to say I was elated to see Silver Wings listen to pleas of their customers (including mine) and come back with this offer.

    Pity about the canopy, but it’s good to read a solution is on its way. The result is already outstanding as it is ! Hubert

    Hey Gary, I don’t want to (well in fact, maybe a little ), but it seems Zoukei-Mura got the underbelly shape right on their future 109 … Oh well, by the time it’s released, your scars from this one will have healed … Great work and admirable persistence Hubert

    ... me, I'll have a go with my brain ( hmmm ... what's more valuable and useful between my brain and a kidney 🤔 ?) Hubert

    Yes, I bought mine (some time ago, admittedly) from HPH’s e-store. HTH Hubert

    AFAIK, the best glue for resin is HPH’s two-components epoxy glue. Hubert

    Soo … it’s not done yet ? Hubert, in the Bordeaux area, substituting popcorn by foie gras, duck confit and red wine …

    In which case they are in the same ballpark as a Tamiya Phantom with all the bells and whistles to make it an up-to-date 1/32 replica. Hubert

    Seeing one build thread out of 500 produced sounds about right. I skipped the Viggen, but got myself registered on the preorder list for the Learjet and Skyrocket Hubert

    And you forget all the new products coming from Central and Eastern Europe … Can you imagine Roden just announced the release of an icon among the icons, a Greyhound bus ? Hubert
  21. HubertB
    Amazing as usual ! Hubert

    Hopefully, they will have learnt from their own (bitter) experience: that you need a great dose of passion and commitment to bring world class subjects to the market. But also that passion must not go to the point that you have a lame duck already before the launch (Gotha UWD anyone ?) or that the commitment to ultimate detailing will bring your costs far beyond the point where you can expect a reasonable Return on Investment («Ultimate » Lancaster anyone ?) If the learnings are here, then we may well see a « mainstream » WWII subject, even if I would personally much prefer … say a Lockheed Vega in 1/32, rather than a P-51 B … And, in all honesty, they may also find that 1/48 generates far less developments costs and greater volumes than 1/32 (yeahh, I know Burn the Heretic ! I’ll even supply the matches ) Anyway, out with my ramblings, and I wish Kotare all the best. (They could even have chosen a duck rather than a kingfisher for a name IMHO) Hubert

    Although I am flattered that you confuse me with a talent like Cees, Peter, let’s give back to Cesar what belongs to Cesar Hubert

    Hey ! Don’t go contradicting good intentions ! Hubert PS: Kai, is it done yet ?

    Popcorn is just ON TOP of Pasteis de Nata, Pudim and Molotov, Rob (not to mention leitao or cataplana) ... Hubert
