I think folks who thought the 1/32 Revell kit was too big will be all over this one. It is impressive to see Border sticking to the scale though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm eagerly awaiting DBMK's release and am planning on buying and building a few. 🤞🤞🤞. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
