Administrators Fran Posted January 1, 2021 Administrators Posted January 1, 2021 Hi folks!! Well its the first day of 2021 and we already have a few great news of upcoming releases!! We could use this topic for post all news that will appear this yes... But for now we already got announced for this year 1:32 P-40B from Great Wall Hobby 1:35 (YES, 1:35) - Bf-109 G-6 from Border Models 1:35 (YES , 1:35) - JU-87G also from Border Models. Also saw on Revell newsletter that they are reissuing the 1:32 Gloster Gladiator (ICM models). A very good start!! 4 2
Administrators Fran Posted January 1, 2021 Author Administrators Posted January 1, 2021 And heres some Revell news: The Gladiator as I already mention: A probably Kinetic mold in REvell box: Bae Hawk T2 A "new" Fieseler Fi 103 V1 (Cooperation with Special Hobby) And for me the most wanted for me: 1:48 SR-71!! As for 1:35, nothing really new: 1:35 Panther (exICM) T-34/85 (cooperation with ICM) MAN 7t Milgl. Re-intro A Luchs with some diorama base included.. And in a big scale, a 1:9 Kübelwagen Type 82 (in Platinum Edition) Speaking of big models, a HMS Dreadnought (Cooperation Zvezda) is also on the way: 4 1
Administrators Fran Posted January 1, 2021 Author Administrators Posted January 1, 2021 and This one I had to have it in a separate post!!! For all Star WArs fans and Mandalorian nuts, the RAZOR CREST in 1:72!!!!! Only in October 2021. 6 1
DocRob Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Thanks for posting Fran, my favorite is also the SR-71 and I hope they get it right. The other (re-) releases are not very tempting to me . Cheers Rob 4
BlrwestSiR Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 The P-40 is very tempting. Might even get the SR-71 and the Razor's Quest. Carl 3

Landlubber Mike Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Thanks for posting! At 1/48, I'm guessing that Blackbird is going to be pretty massive. I don't want to broaden my horizons (and kit stash) to other genres, but man, a Razor Crest would be super cool. 3
GazzaS Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Great post, Fran! I'm intrigued by the 1/35 109 and Stuka. I would never do it, but I can see lots of ppl planning Dio's of them crashed in front of Allied vehicles. Sadly, it seems that Revell is just the home of repops. 2
HubertB Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 I do not know this seemingly new company Border, but they seem managed by a marketing « genius » ... 1) a Me-109 G-6 ...yaaaaaawnnnnn 2) a Ju-87 G ... yaaaaaawnnnnn agaiiiiinnn But then , wait, in 1/35 scale ! Frankly, I doubt you will see many dios with either Axis or Allied hardware, just like I have yet to see many dios with 1/35 helicos and armour. What a waste of resources and money Hubert 5 1
1to1scale Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Having seen what GWH have done with Russian jets, I definitely will be getting the P-40, and no doubt on the SR-71. Razor crest is one I want, but it depends who is doing it. 2
krow113 Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 I didnt really notice the 1/35 right away... because WHO DOES THAT!!!!!!!???????????? 1 3

Yes... besides the SR-71 in :48 (new Tool) and the Razor Crest in 1:72... all others are re-pops... 2

krow113 Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Its almost like industry influencers are on glue. The good news is they realize the shrinking (rapidly) demographic has $$ and will buy. Unfortunatly its the usual 109190T34STUKASPITFIREETC. Always leaving out the most desired mark of airframe or edition. 1
GazzaS Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Love threads like this. Let's you know where ppl stand. 2
Wumm Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 I'm really finding it hard to understand the hate (especially elsewhere) for mainstream aircraft subjects modelled in 1/35th scale. Not merely "I would never buy this", but "I hope they fail". There must be at least a dozen 1/35 figure sets from multiple Manufacturers that can be easily modified to maintenance or Ordnance loading crews. Similarly vehicles; Italeri fuel tanker, Tamiya Citroen Avant and Opel Blitz, ICM Opel Kadett or Mercedes autos. Why on Earth would you use a Panther Tank in an Aircraft diorama with so many other options available? Use your imagination people! S 5 2

S I was thinking also that having options in 1/35 might make for some cool diorama scenes, instead of folks trying to figure out if they can work 1/32 and 1/35 into a scene. 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 3, 2021 Administrators Posted January 3, 2021 I’ve never gotten how the armor guys enveloped and adopted 1/35 as their standard scale. It’s just all kinds of odd. 3

krow113 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I may take the opp for silly remarks , but as long as the subject is interesting I could'nt care less what scale it is. We are def in the strongest era of the hobby , right on top of the crest of the wave. WNW was a game changer for sure , guys who would crap their undies at the thought of a WW1 plane model are up to the same undies in builds and kits. Proving that well made , well designed and buildable kits will sell , the demographic demands better kits and will buy them. So if manufacturers want to loosen up the rules then bring it on , so far its been worth it. 5
