ironman1945 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Guys Just saw in the latest Riich catalogue their first 1/32 scale aircraft, 1-16 type 10 in Chinese Nationalist markings. Does anyone know if its all new, or a re-box of the Special Hobby version? ​Dave/Ironman1945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) AFAIK, its all new tool. But others should know more......Harv Edited August 8, 2017 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 What or who is Riich? Kev LSP_Ron and esarmstrong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esarmstrong Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Never heard of them before now. Judging by the products offered on their website it is no wonder. Looks like they are predominately into armor and support vehicles. Very little emphasis on aircraft. LSP_Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironman1945 Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 I believe they are a relativley new Chinese company; up till now yes armor and support vehicles/accesories. Like I said, first I have heard of them doing an aircraft kit. Dave/Ironman1945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Yup, relatively new. A few armor items; I have a couple. Not bad. Will be curious to see how they do with the aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CATCplSlade Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 So far they have a 1/200 Kingfisher on a catapult under their belt, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Their AFVs models are quite nice. So I hope their I-16 will be OK. I forgot that announced release. In spite of the quality of the ICM one, this option has more appeal to me as you can build more easily a Chinese or Spanish one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Be interesting to see how it stacks up to the ICM kit. Generally the Riich armor kits like their Universal Carrier have been very detailed and good on accuracy. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 If it's as good as the ICM kit we're in for a treat. Bill Cross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Riich has released a very favorably received Tiger I with full interior. VERY nice detail. A type 10 polikarpov might be interesting. If they release it, I'll find it odd to have now three companies doing the stubby little plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe TAKOM has released a Tiger II. The only kit I know of with a full interior for the first Tiger is the ancient and execrable Academy kit.

CATCplSlade Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Yes, Academy and Rye Field make the only Tigers with interiors at the 1/35 level. Riich's armor is pretty minimal; they make a lot of horse-drawn stuff though. Bill Cross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
