smitty44 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Just wanted to remind everyone that, even though there was little activity at Shizouka there are still some 20+ lsp releases set for this year that we know about.

Thanks....... who do you think will be getting excited about the I-16’s...... I can think of three off the top of my head. It is great news that other companies are entering the frey. This list is from cybermodeler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 The Special Hobby Westland Whirlwind should be out before the end of the year, photos of some of the mold tooling has been posted on their Farcebook page. This one is at the top of my acquisition list ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I’d love a big Whirlwind but........once bitten twice shy with SH ...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty44 Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 Remember when Eduard had an advertising snafu when they released the Legion Condor boxing in 1/48th? I nearly split a side. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Well, the SH kits are certainly not shake and bake but I haven't found them to be all that bad, I built their I-16 and P-36 and didn't find them all that taxing and they came out to my satisfaction 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Don’t forget about the IM PT-13 announced too. Airfix I think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it as an opportunity to use your acquired model building skills. At least it should be a few degrees better than scratch building your own.

Hubert PS : thanks to Westland, there was a civilian-registered Whirlwind for a short period of time after WWII. which gives me a good reason to buy the kit, without breaking my « no camo » self-inflicted rule 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 12, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 12, 2019 This year is shaking up to be decent. Even in a good year, I couldn’t build barely four of those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJTX Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 The only big scale plane I feel is missing is a good P-38. Doesnt have to be Tamiya, just not the trumpeter thing. Past that, I can find more than enough to keep me happy. Even with my meager stash of 9 I have enough to last for awhile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
