coogrfan Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) I hope those Hermann Graf markings will be included in the HB version. Edited July 4, 2017 by coogrfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATCplSlade Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 If I am right and it is, I assume everyone will know it is basically a 21st Century Toys in it's execution. I think we have a couple of guys who can tackle it.... After they finish their P-51 and P-38, of course. That should happen in what, 2-3 more years?

GMK Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Once you get the English language version up...... this is the translation! 1:18Brazilian EMB312 TucanoITEM No.: 81802 ​Now that WOULD be interesting........and I love the old butcher bird too!! ​I guess it'll be the artworked subject though. Could be tempted here. Shame it's not the Super Tucano. That thing is sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coogrfan Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 The Merit 1/18 SBD that was released a couple years ago was solid, hopefully this will be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 No, HK. Hong Kong Models, makers of 1/32 B-25s, B-17s, Meteors, Do335s... What 1/32 bombers has Kitty Hawk done? Ahhh... being schlampig again I see. Hong Kong Models, otherwise known as HKM, please not HK... it confuses the rest of the herd!! And here I thought you were just being dyslexic!!

Tony T Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 There's almost a perverse fascination with making things larger and larger. There are about a dozen not so obscure things I'd prefer kitted in 1/32 scale, including a Tucano. Sorry, these super large kits are really Xmas prezzy fodder for twelve year olds.

Artful69 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 In 1/18 ... how are the dimensions on this thing? ... I wonder if there's a nice big BMW 801 in there? Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to to build a 1/18 190, but I probably won't, due to space. Maybe a 1/24 one someday. And I don't even know WTH a Tucano is. coogrfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCGMK1 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Nice! I wanted to get a pre-built one, but this will be better! Of course it'll sit in the box next to its best friend the 1:18 SBD kit for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't even know WTH a Tucano is. Quite a cool plane built in Brazil, also license built in the UK. The Super Tucano is even better looking but this below is a standard Tucano.. alaninaustria and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 In Butch's defence, 'HKM' often get referred to as 'HK'... I always say HK. Large Scale Planes (LSP) benefits from an international membership, some of whom do not speak English as a first language. Therefore, I find it of great importance to be accurate and clear in terminology, especially in using abbreviations when posting to LSP. Americans have perfected the art of abbreviation to make life easier and more convenient. However, using abbreviations can lead to confusion to non-native speakers as well as those who are either fatigued, or are suffering from information overload (saturation). What can normally happen is that one will briefly over-fly the text and misconstrue an abbreviation as something else entirely. As in the case of using HK for Hong Kong Models, this should be abbreviated to HKM. Many members may only unintentionally see KH which has been used previously as an abbreviation for Kitty Hawk model (KH). Whatever we choose to write, we should be as accurate as possible. Just imagine the confusion generated on our forum if a certain percentage of the LSP membership began referring to LSP as LS… what?? Are we now talking about Large Scale Modeller (LSM)??? I'm beginning to get confused… I know that we live busy lives and we are reaching information overload and saturation levels on an unprecedented level, but we should strive to be as accurate as possible in our terminology and abbreviations to support clarity and understanding. We must transcend our own ethnocentricity and articulate ourselves as best as we can to include the greater international membership here at LS… whoops, I meant to write LSP. That's my two-cents… Cheers Alan Lothar, Out2gtcha, AdamR and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
