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 5 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 November 8 Share Posted November 8 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 November 8 Share Posted November 8 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 November 9 Share Posted November 9 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 November 10 Share Posted November 10 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...
