LSM 2026

[Fran]

Well, I know that we are still in 2025... but there`s already some news for 2026...

 

The first one is 

GWH F6F-3 Hellcat!

[DocRob]

I guess, it´s news for ´26, but a very much welcomed one. Lukgraph of Poland is releasing a Grumman Goose G-21 civilian in 1/32 scale.

TMN: Kit countdown... Clayton's top ten upcoming releases of the month...

There is something else for our Canadian birds with wings aficionados under the same link above. A Canadian CT-114 Tutor Snowbirds in 1/32 as a 3D-printed kit by Joycraft.

Cheers Rob

Joycraft has the instructions posted for the Tutor on their website now. Supposedly they will have a pre-production sample ready for a show in Quebec later this year. 

I've got my reservation request already in for the kit.

Kotare are showing off a P.47 ... technically for release in 2027 ... but the number is 32019

HKM have another couple of Mossies slated to come out - NF.30 and the Highball prototype.

Airscale have their Typhoon on the way to follow up their Defiant  ...

Airfix have a 1/24 Bf.109G5/6 on the way with a bunch of good marking options

Kotare have also announced a BF109 E too. 

It seems like this could be a very expensive year for some folks.

All cool stuff......I have yet to buy the big spitfire(s) from Airfix.......but a new Mold oversize (1/24) Me 109 intrigues me.. I recently

Got two new nice Air brushes... I want to try these out, but, currently, circumstances have kept me away from the bench.

I hear Gecko is coming out with a 1/16 marder II....sounds cool. Lately I have been concentrating on OOP Tamiya Kits......ones

I missed the first time around. I've said it before, this is a golden age for model kits....both in variety and in quality.

Whew, good thing I've built both a Hellcat and a 109E in recent years, or I'd be sorely tempted. If that Eduard P-51B drops, I'm in trouble though.

[Count0]

Pre-ordering the Airfix 109 today. Somehow missed the Kotare announcement but not surprised. Everybody comes around to the 109's = money eventually. lol. Or in my case negative money...

 

Airfix won't ship to the states. Boo. So I'll just have to get it from someone here.

[Artful69]

Anyone catch any new big scale armour / ship or other release news at Telford?

Yup, if that GWH Hellcat is anything like the rest of their AC stuff, I'll be hurting for sure.
