I think folks who thought the 1/32 Revell kit was too big will be all over this one. :lol:

It is impressive to see Border sticking to the scale though.

There's the usual to-and-fro about this on TOS ... 

For my part I got back into scale modelling back in 2008 - wanting to build German WWII armour in a larger format than when I was a kid playing around.

I started with 1/35 ... and then I went looking for comparative aircraft only to find they were all in 32nd scale ...

Apparently Tamiya is to blame for 35th scale being a 'thing' ...

The real question is ... can Border group the obvious "sets" together to help them get market traction ... Apparently their Fw-190A-6 was a winner!

Kate, Val, Zero A6M2 ... F4F, Dauntless, Devastator

Mk.V Spitfire ... Fw.190A-4 ... Bf.109F-4 ... P.51B

He.111, Do.17z, Ju.87B, Ju.88, Bf.110C ... Spitfire Mk.Ia, Hurricane Mk.I

Mk.IXc Spitfire ... Fw.190A-5/6/7/8 ... Bf.109G ... P51D

The list goes on obviously ... but they ARE churning them out at a decent rate! ... 

I'm not sold yet ... but if they keep kicking goals it might be hard to avoid finally getting scale aircraft that MATCH my armour scale.

Rog :)

I so regretted selling mine a few years ago, that I ordered one as soon as the re-release was announced. Still in preparation, though ...

Hubert I built the 1/48 Eduard kit some years back and was a really neat kit in 1/32 would think impressive some Nice lines and has that  transition phase look from bi/mono with the fuselage shape.;)

Thats going to be a lot of shelf space, esp if you deploy the MAD 

Well when you have multiple four engined bombers in the stash and on the shelf.........

Airfix might be doing what they did last year - holding back release announcements until just before the kit is released. I'm looking forward to seeing what the NEW Airfix has waiting for us in 2024.

Thanks to @ScottsGT's efforts fighting through the Hobbycraft Sea Fury kit recently,  we now have a new one coming for the end of the summer. 

DBMK has announced that their Sea Fury kit should be ready by then.

Over the years, I've become a huge Sea Fury fan and have built both the Fisher and Airfix kits. I'm eagerly awaiting DBMK's release and am planning on buying and building a few. 🤞🤞🤞:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:.

Oh and Trumpeter is showing a 1/32 S-3 Viking in their catalogue. 

 

Wow, I was sure that was a joke until I scrolled down the page. Great news, but if it takes as long as the Devastator I might have gone gaga by then.

Yea, that one might be for the next generation of model builders.

Anyone got info on the A-20J/K release date?  I’m not seeing any pre-orders or “coming soon” on any of the usual vendors sites.  

Should be out in Aus by end of Feb I'm told by my hobby supplier on the east coast ... and we're usually one of the tail ender's for model distribution.
