HKM Do 335A-12 Trainer - It's coming!

Hi all,

 

I really do wish HKM had done the Do 335A-12 first, but hey ho! At least I got the chance to build two of the previous versions and I loved them. Today, I received two test shots in the mail, for the future Anteater version of the Do 335, and I'm pretty stoked. Work starts soon. The kit is pretty much the same as the fighter version, but for two different sprues. One is the grey one you see here, and of course a clear sprue (not photographed). This is only a test shot too, and some refinements need to be made to things, but it is eminently buildable, and I'll do this for Military Illustrated Modeller. Here you also see the box art that was done by some friends of mine. They are working on the decals and instructions at the moment.

HK will first release the B-6 night fighter, and then it's the turn for this beauty!

Yup. Same applies to the Ju 52.

 

 

Well that's news to me! ... I hadn't heard of any so called "shelved" or "cancelled" plans for the Ju.52 anyway ... lol :D

Just knowing the amount of time needed to develop a kit from concept to retail, I didn't expect it, any real news of it, or the P.51B for at least another 2-3 years.

 

Just goes to show how out of the loop I am ... I've missed the announcements of the prophets of doom!!

 

Rog :)

Had the heavy fighter version, sold it on and regretted it ever since. Especially now when I see the cost of replacing it now. I am tempted by the latest 2 versions but torn between which one to get, room for one only. Unless I can come across a cheap B-2 version or trade for one. There's just something about this aircraft that appeals and I don't know what it is.

Looking forward to both the HK A12 and B6, ZM and the clear plastic is just not what I want to work with.  I am hoping that ZM won't continue with that on newer releases that they have stated are coming. 

 

Clear is OK for parts of the airframe, but the entire kit made from it, is adding a bit of difficulty IMO.  Clear is just harder to work with for me, especially large pieces. 

 

Love ZM's stuff, but just not the massive clear plastic parts, keep it light grey please. 

 

Also Kudos to the HK box art it keeps getting better and better, loving this one for the A12.
