HubertB Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Looks like the SH Westland Whirlwind (the one with wings, not an egg-beater above) is (at last ) announced for this spring (and in case you are wondering, yes I have already spotted a civilian scheme for it ) Hubert 6

BlrwestSiR Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 The Minibase Su-33 is almost ready for release. There's a test build up on The Modelling News that looks stunning. I'm really tempted by this kit since I doubt we'll see an Su-33 in 1/32. https://www.themodellingnews.com/2021/01/test-kit-dry-fit-review-48th-scale.html?m=1 2

GazzaS Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Looks Like Italeri want to sell more versions of the Tornado? https://issuu.com/italeri/docs/previw_italeri_2021/8 Honestly... I don't know a lot about modern jets. So, I can;t just go buy any old Tornado and chop it up to make the version I want. 2 1
Vandy1 VX-4 Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 What happened to the Italeri Higgins PT boat? It was in last year‘s catalog but never came out? 3

HubertB Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Very cool subject, just in my league, but I’m only in for 1/32 Hubert the narrow-minded 3 2

It would fit easily on the swimming pool ! Anyway, water was more the element of the original than air, wasn’t it ? One could even argue that the Do-X was the forerunner of the Ekranoplan ...

BlrwestSiR Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Meng has announced a 1/24 Fokker Triplane. https://aeroscale.net/news/large-scale-fokker-triplane I wonder if this is an upscaled version of their 1/32 kit? 4 1

Hum... I think that Meng were tooling this for Wingnut Wings, for a never-released 1/24 scale series of WW1 aircraft... as far I know... So this could well be a former never seeing WnW model kit... 7

Or possibly someone got the scale conversion wrong on the shrink ray and they decided to just release it. 2 2
BlrwestSiR Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Jetmads wants to know what should they work on next. They've posted that after the Lear and X-3, they're doing a 1/48 kit and have three in mind. The options are B-47, P2V and a Tu-128. I think I know what @Clunkmeister will be voting for since it'll look perfect next to his B-36... Carl 1 2
harv Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 I definitely want a 1/32 X3 Stiletto. I've been drooling since the first announced it. Have a link Carl ?.....harv 2
