BlrwestSiR Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 Thanks for sharing Maru. The Lysander is a different looking plane. Definitely function over form. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1/32 scale modern tool Lysander would certainly get me to spend some money. Cheers Dennis 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know... maybe the price lower as the model gets "older" and is not as new anymore. Edited November 17 by MARU 5137 Grammar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just THINKING about it nothing solid planned yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Hopefully! It is being held in Southern VA at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay: Hampton Roads Convention Center. About 4 hours from DC and Northern VA, close to the border with North Carolina. August 6-9, 2025 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert I know, but Airfix says they’ll never do 1/32 as the market is loaded with kitmakers in that scale. They pretty much have 1/24 to themselves these days 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 I was talking to William the other day about, how true "commando" in its nature is this airplane. In and out from behind the enemy lines. Unannounced, unnoticed and quietly deadly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that plane, for the oddness. But it was also superbly functional. So how new is that Airfix tooling? I'm not very optimistic about a 32 scale one coming along any time soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left is "1/35" and right is "1/32". All dimensions are strictly proportional. For me, that is not really "close enough". But to each his own.

Count0 Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 3 hours ago, HubertB said: I am genuinely happy for you if you are satisfied with your Kate. I am happy with it. I was a professional model builder for over 25 years. I get the scale difference. I even did the math on the Kate, just for fun. I don't see it as an issue worth bothering with. I wanted a Kate, now I have one, without waiting for an Infinity kit "In the right scale" that's never going to see the light of day. Or, worse IMO, a resin kit. Most civilians, lets say, who see my models never will never know the diff either, to be honest. I'm planning on buying Borders Zero when it comes out. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 I see no problem with Border making aircraft kits in 1/35... I build mostly 1/35, so these kits would fit my collection. Perhaps Border's Intention is to fill a niche for builders of this scale. It's like producing armor in 1/48 when the standard for armor is 1/35. Think of the Tamiya aircraft/vehicle combo kits in 1/48. Anyway, the border kits. do look nice. Build in the scale you want.... By the way, a Lysander in 1/24 would be spectacular! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
