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 Rob Right with you - watched a video by Airfix on the kit and it does look mighty good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Andy's Hobby Headquarters has just announced a 1/16 M10 and Achilles tank destroyers. They're coming out in October for $149.99 each. They just got posted to my LHS so I broke down and pre-ordered the Achilles. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Carl Thanks for the update ... looks mighty nice. Seems 1/16th scale is getting more and more popular with armor builders these days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Great we are seeing more 16th and it may trigger some future modellers. Not the scale for me though……. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Fran Posted August 28, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted August 28, 2023 Well, I saw this other day, and forgot to share here... Upcoming 1:35 Border Spitfire... I think that might be Mk. V... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Thanks Fran The Border 1/35 Spit does look mighty good at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Based on other published photos of the Border spitfire, it’s a very hard pass for me. From an accuracy angle it seems to gather all of the worst parts of both the 1/24 Trumpeter and 1/32 Hobby Boss kits including cockpit floor that shouldn’t be there, the fabric effect on top of the tailplane and the noticeably-too-fat spine and canopy. ☹️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll probably be off down the Griffon road before too long also! Rog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm torn between this and the original release in the white Martini scheme. Please they've announced a 1/12 Stratos which will be a must buy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Thunder Models has a 1/32 tractor coming next month. Full engine detail and optional side panels. If it's like their other kits, should be a nice model. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 The All Japan Hobby Show is on and Tamiya have shown their new F-35B in 1/48. It's not a re-box of the Italeri kit. In flight display option. My LHS has it up for pre-order for $135 CAD so probably around $100 USD. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 If anyone wants to see what else is coming out, Hobby Dengeki has a show summary. It's in Japanese but Google translate should help. https://hobby.dengeki.com/hobbyshow/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Thanks Carl for the link - just back from seeing what is new and translate works fine. Pretty thin for 32nd scale but the bright spot was on the Volks display: the ZM 190. Tamiya's 1/48 F-35B looked mighty good and Fine Molds had some new 1/72nd scale kits. Yup, the hobby certainly is changing in the direction of interest of the newer modeler these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
