A couple of days ago I messaged @Clunkmeister about how successful the pinned thread on LSM modelling announcements for 2022 had been - and that maybe we should start a new pinned thread for 2023. Ern agreed that it was a good idea ... and so what I was to do for the next couple of days involved scrolling through the complete 2022 thread and listing all the current announcements for this first post. It seems @Fran and I think along the same lines - as he launched a thread less than 12 hours after my discussion with Ern!! ... These will be merged. To simplify ... I have only included LSM announcements (1/35 and up) ... That is in no-way a definitive list parameter moving forward ... there were a few 1/48 announcements listed in the last thread (and smaller scales too) - and all of them were interesting! ... The list below will fall under several Titles ... "LATE" announced as a 2022 release but delayed for some reason. "ANNOUNCED" as a 2023 release, but not yet out for retail "RELEASED" as in any previously announced (or "surprise MF!" kit) that has now hit the retail sector (in 2023) "FUTURE" as a projected 2024 release. As such, I will expect the edit this post throughout the year ahead, as more kits make it to retail ... but nothing will hit the last 2 categories until next year, obviously! LATE ... * Airfix - 1/24 Spitfire Mk.IXc * Andy's Model Headquarters - 1/16 M4A3 'Easy' 8 Sherman * Beemax - 1/12 Lotus/Honda 99T * Border Model - 1/35 B5N2 'Kate' * Copper State Models - 1/32 Bristol Scout c * Gallery Models, Heller, MonoChrome, Trumpeter (yes, all 4, same boxing!!) - 1/16 Pz.Kpfw III Ausf.J / L / M * Gecko Model - 1/16 Pz.Kpfw II Ausf.F * GWH - 1/32 P-40B 'Pearl Harbour' * ICM - 1/35 CH-54 Tarhe * ICM - 1/32 Yak-9T (kit not due in Australia until late January 2023 ... showing for retail in other locations?? - First I've heard!!) * Infinity Model - 1/32 D3A1 'Val' * Infinity Model - 1/32 B5N2 'Kate' * Italeri - 1/32 Macchi C.202 Folgore * Kotare - 1/32 Spitfire Mk.1a (Mid) * Miniart - 1/35 Pz.Kpfw IV Ausf.H & Kfz.70 w/crew & Dio set * Revell - 1/32 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIb * Trumpeter - 1/32 TBD-1 Devastator (🙄 yeah, I know! - but it was announced at a model show so I HAVE to include it! ... at least its a little more than vapourware now) ANNOUNCED ... * Andy's Model Headquarters - 1/16 Pz.Kpfw Tiger.1 Ausf.E (Early) 3 in 1 * Border Model - 1/35 Fw.190 (details are still sketchy on variant ... some are saying F.6 while others say F.8) * DBMK - 1/32 Hawker Sea Fury * Halberd Models - 1/32 Curtis SC-1 Seahawk * Hobby 2000 - 1/32 Messerschmitt Bf.110D (Dragon re-pop) * Hobby 2000 - 1/32 Messerschmitt Bf.110E (Dragon re-pop) * Hong Kong Model - 1/32 Douglas A-20G 'Havoc' * Infinity Model - 1/32 Messerschmitt Me.410 * Infinity Model - 1/32 Z-37A Chelak * Infinity Model - 1/32 Westland Wyvern * Infinity Model - 1/32 Bristol Beaufighter TF.X * Kotare - 1/32 Spitfire Mk.Va * Meng Model - 1/35 AH-64D 'Apache' * Plus Model - 1/35 M-16 Austro - Daimler 'C-Zug' * Revell - 1/32 Gloster Meteor F.3 * Takom - 1/35 AH-64D 'Longbow' * Takom - 1/35 AH-64E 'Guardian' * Takom - 1/35 Mi-28N 'Night Hunter' * VFS - 1/32 SR-71A 'Blackbird' If anyone can find anything I've missed ... or to add ... or advise of change in status (ie - kit in stock - physically!! - at the local HS) just list them below and I'll update this reference as often as I can! Cheers Rog Sorry @Artful69 I didnt saw your post! If I did i would have deleted mine! 1

ScottsGT Posted December 21, 2022 Posted December 21, 2022 Almost forgot that I have that 1/48 B-58 kit, but in a smaller cardboard box due to shipping size of the original. I really need to find that sucker. SR-71 really grabs my attention. If it’s on my affordable scale I’ll have to do it. 1

Good God it’s going to be huge with that rotor span. At first I was ready to jump on the bandwagon and get one, but the more I think about it I realize I already have two helicopter kits on the SOD and do I really need to add something this freaking huge to my built collection even if I ever got around to building it? I might have to live vicariously through others on this one. 4
HubertB Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 Not so huge, as it’s going to be only 76 % of what it would look like in a « proper » scale … Hubert 2 2
Peterpools Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 A 32nd scale B-58 would be a dream come true. 1

Peterpools Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 Mark Of course, isn't that always the way. I've never built a vac kit and it's way beyond my modeling capabilities. 2

Artful69 Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 Ok ... super surprised that this hasn't made it on here yet, but ... Due in late March apparently? Rog 5
seiran01 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 ZM’s Fw-190A (A-4 I think) should be out this year also. ICM has the B-26B Marauder coming in 1/48 in late 2023 along with a 1/32 HS-123. The 1/48 Ki-21 is slated for a Q4 release as well, that one was announced a year or two ago. Airfix confirmed the Gannet in 1/48 but nothing new in larger scales sadly. Announced recently (no idea if 2023 release) Italeri 1/32 Macchi 202 Mini Art 1/48 P-47D in three variants A new (new to me, at least) company called Triglav has a 1/35 resin Bayraktar TB-2 in development 6 1
BlrwestSiR Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 There's a 1/12 Cain coming out in March from Moderoid. It'll go nidely with their previously released ED-209. 5 1
seiran01 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 I have no idea what that Cain is, but it looks awesome! What’s it from? 3 1
