DocRob Posted January 1, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 The P-40 is very tempting. Might even get the SR-71 and the Razor's Quest. Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landlubber Mike Posted January 1, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted January 1, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted January 1, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted January 1, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes... besides the SR-71 in :48 (new Tool) and the Razor Crest in 1:72... all others are re-pops... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Bronco did the opposite and released a T-34 in 1/32 recently. * As in T-34 Russian tank and not the trainer plane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted January 1, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wumm Posted January 1, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 3, 2021 Administrators Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krow113 Posted January 4, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
