Artful69 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 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 Rog 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Miniart have released a lovely 1;48 Junkers F-13. https://www.themodellingnews.com/2024/09/updated-preview-plastic-pics-to-add-to.html It would be - unfortunately - a « lemon » in sales in my preferred 1/32 scale, but would I love one, even in resin !

BlrwestSiR Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Italeri is getting closer with their 1/12 Lancia Stratos. Pic of the test build. Needless to say I can't wait for this. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted Friday at 07:01 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:01 PM 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.

GusMac Posted Friday at 09:48 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:48 PM 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted Saturday at 01:17 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:17 PM 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 😱 ? Hubert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted Sunday at 09:29 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:29 PM The one that always got me was the Canberra. The EE version always looked like it was wearing goggles whereas the Martin one actually looked normal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
