BlrwestSiR Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 To go with the recent reissue of Tamiya's 1/12 Porsche 935, Scale Motorsports had announced they're going to re-release their detail set. https://scalemotorsport.com/collections/super-detail-kits/products/porsche-935-big-scale-super-detail-kit It was more than double the kit price when it first came out so I'll be curious to see what it goes for this time. I had someone offer the original set to me for €750 recently.... 3
BlrwestSiR Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 I posted this in the Lancaster tips and tweaks section but just in case I thought I'd post it here. Resin2Detail has just released a pair of pilot's seats for the Lancaster. https://www.resin2detail.com/product-page/1-32-avro-lancaster-seat-upgrade-for-hk-kit-no-belts 3
Bomber_County Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 Am I behind the curve on this......... https://www.hk-models.com/hkm/1-48-avro-lancaster-b-mk.1-01f005/ This is amazing news, now to decide if to push the button.... 3

I already have a couple pre-orders for it. I think it’s a better scale for most people. 5
harv Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 I remember doing a 1/12 scale Porche years ago. I was amazed at the sheer size and detail....harv 4

Scale Motorsports has announced the price for their detail set will be $850 US. That's a hard pass from me on it. Unless I happen to win the lottery. 3 1

Bomber_County Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 I’m surprised there wasn’t a little more fanfare to the 48th Lanc being announced or did I miss it........ 3
BlrwestSiR Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 I thought there was an announcement on here about the 1/48 Lanc? The price is great for it considering how much the Tamiya one goes for. 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 27, 2021 Administrators Posted February 27, 2021 And the Tamiya Lanc has some shape issues that are tough for some to swallow. 4
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 27, 2021 Administrators Posted February 27, 2021 That 1/48 B-47 will look real,y blood along with the B-36, B-52, and B-70. Along the same lines, I also have the 1/72 Tupolev 95, Antonov 24, and 1/48 Bone, all which will go nicely with the others, even if the scale is a touch different and Antonov isn’t a bomber. A Tupolev 22 in 1/48 might be too much to wish for? Displaying all of those together at the same time might be a bit real estate intensive. Even the Tupolev 95 is massive in 1/72, dwarfing the B-52. 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 27, 2021 Administrators Posted February 27, 2021 I’m really looking forward to seeing how Jetmads does with the Viggen. I know of at least one other person here who ordered one as well. Hopefully it’s worth all the hype. 3
harv Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Sure hope the X3 is as good as it looks.....harv 2
seiran01 Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Is it bad that I'm more excited for the Learjet than the Viggen? And I'm really excited for the Viggen! Having owned one of their skyrocket kits before deciding I'd never really build it (and sold it on to someone who would appreciate the subject more), I can tell you the engineering and finish of the parts is absolutely top-notch. The presentation of how the kit is packaged for both part safety and visual impact is significantly more professional than any other product I have ever seen, and the instructions are very, very nicely laid out as well. Those with Viggen preorders are in for a treat when they see the finished product with their own eyes 2 1

Thre is an excellent 1/32 (not 1/33) paper model of the Tu-95. Now, THAT would dwarf you, my friend Hubert 3 1

I am however like you on the Learjet, and have reserved one. And I'm game as well for the Skyrocket, and the Ouragan, and the Trident, if they ever come to fruition. I am still reserved about the X3. It looked spectacular, but ... Hubert 3
BlrwestSiR Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 I'm looking forward to the Viggen. Just hope we can convince them to do a Clunk. That would be a must have if they do. I know what you mean about the X-3 Hubert. The performance couldn't match its looks. Still looks pretty awesome though. 2 1
seiran01 Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Ah the X-3, one of so many victims of early jet design let down by underpowered engines... a shame really. I get the feeling there are at least four or five of us on LSM who would be standing outside their door waving money in the air if they announce a 32nd Clunk - myself included! 4
seiran01 Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 *edit - a victim of so many aircraft throughout history whose potential was let down by underpowered engines 3

As I was looking for something else, I, literally, just unrolled a 1/32 drawing of the CF-100. I'd still be a taker, but , gawd, it is really a big, and I mean BIG, sob ... The other drawings in the same scale I unrolled at the same time looked small in comparison, even the EE Lightning ... Hubert 3 1

Now kind of regret I didn't have the cojones to pull the trigger on the pre-order. Just too intimidated by all that resin but they are stunning in the splinter scheme, just raw power and functionality. 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 28, 2021 Administrators Posted February 28, 2021 A Clunk in 1/32 would be mind boggling. It was a big, big aircraft, but it was a two seat, twin engine all weather interceptor, and carried a lot of weapons and fuel. It was also arguably the best, and for awhile the ONLY really capable all weather interceptor available to the West. Plus, unlike many other contemporary aircraft, it was by NO means underpowered with it’s twin Orendas. It made the F-89 instantly 10 years out of date, outperforming it handily in every respect. It’s only flaws? A cramped rear cockpit and no air to air refueling capability. 2 1
BlrwestSiR Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 More Viggen news. DN Models is going to release a set of masks for the Fields and Meadows camo scheme. https://dnmodels.com/product/saab-37-viggen-splinter-camo-paint-mask-set-1-32/ They got some input from Jetmads on making it fit their kit. If you haven't used them before, DN makes some very nice mask sets including some custom ones they did for me. Carl 1
