A rocket-powered launch for an F-104???  I can't decide if that is cool or crazy!  

I think both.

The also done this with F-84 and F-100

As I can’t find the 2024 thread anywhere, I’ll assume it was merged into this one at some point. Maybe a title change to st “Modelling News / Announcements”?

Anyway … the latest HKM Kit announcement is a special edition RAAF Havoc A-20G

It's both. And god help you if the engine decides to hiccup when the rocket's done.

 

But it is a cool display item.

Miniart have released a lovely 1;48 Junkers F-13.

It would be - unfortunately - a « lemon » in sales in my preferred 1/32 scale, but would I love one, even in resin !

That thing is so odd looking I’d have to have one if it were 1/32.

Italeri is getting closer with their 1/12 Lancia Stratos. 

Great news, albeit I wish, it would be made by Tamiya. Nonetheless, I just bought Italeri´s Fiat 695 Abarth. I know, I once said, I would neve buy an Italeri kit, but the Stratos will be the third breaking of the rule, the other was the 1/12 Alfa Romeo 2300. As a sidenote, I couldn´t let the 695 Abarth go for under 60 €uro including shipping.
It´s still available for that price on the big A.de

Cheers Rob

Rob, that's a great price for the Abarth. I've thought of getting one of those but they haven't been that inexpensive. 

I have their big Delta in the stash but the Stratos is my favourite rally car. 

I really should finish the Doyusha one in the stash before this comes out.

It looks like Revell have announced a 1/32 Hawker Hunter T7 (you know, the one where the Brits demonstrated brilliantly their unmatchable knack to turn a beautiful airframe into an ugly errr… something 🤮)

Good for those who had missed the Fisher conversion, though.

I actually think the Hunter T7 doesn't look too bad compared to some of the monstrosities that we churned out at that time - Argosy comes to mind!

Ok. « In the kingdom of the blinds, the one-eyed are kings » ;)

TBH, there are not many airframes of the era which, designed as a single-seater, were not seriously bastardized by the move to twin-seater. The F-100 and F-105 survived it, the F-104 passably so, but the Mirage III, the MiG-21 just to name some, did not benefit from the second driver’s position.

But the Brits compounded the issue by the side-by-side requirement. And what about the EE Lightning 😱 ?
