Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 9, 2022 Administrators Posted January 9, 2022 Ever since I saw a Z-37 in action as a kid, I’ve always had a strange attraction to this thing. Literally a farm tractor with wings. Purpose built and almost indestructible. 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 9, 2022 Administrators Posted January 9, 2022 Oh yeah! Easily the world’s sexiest small jet. Oh how I love an L-39. Whoever designed it had a curvy lady on his mind, because they are simply a rolling masterpiece of cool. 2
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 9, 2022 Administrators Posted January 9, 2022 Smitty, does the military still use the L-39 for Top Gun and similar dissimilar air to air training? 1
smitty44 Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Not sure, but one of those pics is Czech military. You guys need to come to Reno and watch them race. 2
Martinnfb Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 L-159 Alca, the grey one is Czech Air Force machine. 1
BlrwestSiR Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) I'm up for the Wyvern and I guess the Me410 with the big stonkin' cannon. I thought I read somewhere that the L-39 was HpH's best selling kit. Carl Edited January 9, 2022 by BlrwestSiR Fix typo 2
Peterpools Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Thanks Ernie Some very cool kits are on the horizon. Keep 'em comin Peter 3
Bomber_County Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Never thought I’d see a Wyvern in 32nd. I wonder if they will package everything together unlike the Helldiver with all the extra components. The twins are going to be very tasty but probably beyond my wallet………..but thank you Infinity for give us undeserving rabble such stunning models…….. 3
GusMac Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Ooh, l can see a shelf in my cabinet with a Beau and an Me410 side by side. 😁 5
Artful69 Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 New 1/24 Spitfire Mk.IXc by Airfix … looks to have a little Zoukei-Mura inspired assembly to it … very nice https://uk.airfix.com/products/supermarine-spitfire-mkixc-a17001?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=New+Super+Kit&utm_campaign=Airfix-+New+Kit+-+week+41+21%2F22&modal=-zoom Rog 3 4
Peterpools Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Love the idea of a new tool 1/24 Spit and hopefully Airfix will keep improving their quality and molding. What I’m not crazy about is all the internal details, which leads to loads to fit issues. Keep ‘em comin Peter 2
Artful69 Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 I like the list, but didn’t they promise us a Do.17z along with the Val ?!? … What happened to that one I wonder?? … Rog 3
Administrators Fran Posted January 10, 2022 Author Administrators Posted January 10, 2022 Wow... nice list!! For me, the top is Val and Kate!! 2
harv Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 I agree Peter. Now that I have the hellcat, I'm eying the spit 3

I remember that, too. Maybe one of the other Czech manufacturers are on it? There's plenty of good stuff on the horizon for those willing to work for it. Nothing shake the box, but if you can build Special Hobby, you can build these. 2
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 10, 2022 Administrators Posted January 10, 2022 I've always wanted to watch the L-39 class at Reno battle it out. It's as crazy as the T-6 class. A bunch of equal aircraft jockeying for position. What could possibly go wrong? I'm amazed every year when there aren't T-6 and L-39 bits and pieces scattered all over the valley floor. 3

Like I said … I like the list … and I’m definitely up for at least 4 items mentiond above (finally some early war Japanese carrier gear!) … I’m just wondering where the Do-17z has gone? Rog 3

My only concern is the quality of the plastic and the moulding flash. The Typhoon plastic was very soft and 'soapy' feeling and the mould alignment was poor on many pieces, especially the cockpit tubing which made it a pita to clean up. 3
Artful69 Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 No one has mentioned the ZM Bf.109G-14 yet so l’ll chip that one in … Also the Infinity Models gear … a Val and Kate to go with my Tamiya Zero And a new tool Revell Hurricane. Mods … any chance of pinning a list of gear and who is releasing it to the top of the thread - I think we’re going to be surprised at the amount of Large Scale stuff coming out this year!! Rog 4 1
Peterpools Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Harv Same here - fit and mold lines are always bothering me and it’s impossible to know for sure until the kit is released and in modelers hands. Keep ‘em comin Peter 4
BlrwestSiR Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 There's a new set of figures for the recent Border Models 1/35 (ahem) BF-109 coming. https://www.themodellingnews.com/2022/01/preview-franz-stigler-company-wwii.html?m=1#more They depict Franz Stigler and some of his ground crew on the day he escorted the B-17 Ye Olde Pub.
