HubertB Posted June 16, 2023 Posted June 16, 2023 Well, it seems that HPH are throwing the towel on Infinity. The Kate is 50 % down the road, and the project is advertised for sale. That was a meteoritic passage in the modelling word … Hubert 1

Ben (Starfighter on LSP) said it was 62 hours printing time for the wings only. And printing the fuselage takes 120 hours … And, before you ask, AFAIK, he has no intention of selling it to anyone … Still, it’s a fantastic piece of design 👍 ! Hubert 4 2

BlrwestSiR Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 Just got an email from Attitude Aviation (Bouchon Scale Models) and they're about to release a retractable tailwheel for the Airfix 1/24 Spitfire kit. Which means building a VII and VIII are now possible. https://www.buchonscalemodels.com/products/1-24-spitfire-retractable-tailwheel-resin-conversion He also mentioned there's more coming and has a picture of a Griffon Spitfire. 7

Not at all surprised here ... I think this kit was designed with AM conversions in mind ... The only disappointing bit is that the design would be difficult to backdate to a Mk.I or Mk.Vb ... and the kit is just that good as base to work from! Rog 2
Bomber_County Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Apparently Resicast and Fruil Model components are both closing down before the end of the year. Hopefully someone will carry on the lines as both are amazing……… 1 2

DocRob Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 I'm really excited, there is a new tool Sea King announced by Airfix in 48 scale. My favorite heli seems to receive an appropriate scale version. I like the idea by Airfix, that the same airframe is depicted in four different liveries over the service decades, the last, being a civilian scheme. The Modelling News: Return of the King - Arifix' new 48th scale Sea King HAS.1/HAS.5/HU.5 Cheers Rob 4

DocRob Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 Not exactly modeling news, but I didn't want to open an own thread. Modellbau König of Germany has it's summer sale. There are even some WNW kits left with 30% off until 31.07., like the late Felixstowe, the early AEG G.IV, the AMC DH.9 and of course the Gotha on floats. After pondering a lot about the Felixstowe, I couldn't resist anymore and ordered one. It was not so much the price, but the sheer size, which made me thinking for almost half a year, hoping that the remaining ones got sold, only to cry afterwards bitterly . But a while ago, it hit me, I build the big one without the outer wings in a partly opened maintenance setting, so two RFC mechanics accompany my purchase and 225 € seemed fair to me for the grandest WNW offering. Sonderangebote (modellbau-koenig.de) Cheers Rob 5 1
