Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 11, 2023 Administrators Share Posted June 11, 2023 Every year, we here about the impending demise of large scale models. With Tamiya taking a break on them, and Hasegawa slow rolling new releases… But this year alone: Revell Hurricane llb ICM CH-54 Tarhe. HKM A-20 Havoc/Boston. Infinity Aichi D3A1. GWH Tomahawk. Airfix Spitfire Lukgraph Westland Wapiti And that’s just aircraft off the top of my head. Plus 1/16 armor coming out the ying yang. Yep, I’m happy. But hey, something’s got to go sideways. Maybe Border will announce all future aircraft kits in 1/35, and all future helicopters in 1/32. 😂 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Plus : Halberd Curtiss SC-1 Seahawk And …. (I thought I’d never write down this one ) … …. Trumpeter TBD Devastator ! Hubert 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 For the life of me, I cannot believe Ernie left off the biggest granddaddy of them all, the Devastator. I know, it’s still vaporware until it’s in your paws… But Trumpeter also came out with the F-35A this year and the B is on the way. They did the C late last year. Also….Kotare Spitfire Mk.Ia I have noticed a slowing trend in aftermarket for 1/32. Caracal has gotten out of 1/32 decals and I think Two Bobs did as well, but cannot verify. I think Ernie posted the other day that it seems Eastern Europe is picking up the pace on a lot of new aftermarket. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 There's also the ZM FW190 A something something coming out. Also Italeri has announced a 1/12 Lancia Stratos which is a must have for me. Round2 has a 1/32 TiE Fighter coming this summer and a 1/24 N-1 starfighter too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators James H Posted June 12, 2023 Administrators Share Posted June 12, 2023 I do like that ZM 190. I just figured that my wife would kill me if I bought another kit. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my wife puts it, “I use my shoes and handbags. You have 300 kits you haven’t used yet, but yet you want another? You will have to live to 287 yo to build what you have now.” They just don’t understand logic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my ex-wife had a few dozens pairs of shoes she never wore, and many pieces of garments with the shop price-tag still on … But she did not like my modelling anyway … Hubert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
