Dennis7423 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hobby Boss is showing a 1/32 B-24D and J on their release catalog for 2018. Yowza! Here's to hoping they are good (plenty of restored/complete ones to measure) and don't go the way of the Trumpeter 1/32 TBD Devastator (which is also in the Trumpeter 2018 catalog as "new" for 2018). Thoughts? Comments? Keep it clean folks. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA phasephantomphixer, alaninaustria, Smokey and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark P Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Well, I sincerely wish them luck... If you think the Bf 109 variations/recognition is a minefield and confusing, try the B-24! One only needs to read Consolidated Mess and that becomes quite apparent. Still, an ambitious project, if it ever sees the light of day.

CATCplSlade Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 That never stopped anyone from releasing 109 kits, did it? kalashnikov-47 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hobby Boss is showing a 1/32 B-24D and J on their release catalog for 2018. Thats got to be a mistake. Maybe a typo for 1/48th? As was mentioned, I think a 32nd B-24 would be cool, I just cant see a main stream IM release of one at the moment, especially a 4 engined verity out of the blue from HB, that has as of yet not ever done that to my knowledge.

Mark P Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 No it didn't... But the 109 never had the multitudes of varying window/turret combinations that the B-24 had. Mark Proulx Lothar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATCplSlade Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 And the smaller scale kits still sell regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The product numbers are consistent with these being 1/32 scale kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why a mistake? Its simply a first for them, they arent afraid of large scale at all so would have thought them the logical choice for a surprise large scale large release? Why cant you see a main stream company releasing one? Hk have two large 4 engined releases out with a lancaster due shortly HB simply want a slice of the action with the most produced 4 engined bomber of all time... Aware that the B24 is a minefield.. you know what, i for one dont care if they get it perfect, close , not so good or even crap, at least its another 4 engine heavy i can enjoy building without resorting to a full scratchbuild. My predictions are that it will be crucified way before its realeased, it will be a fair to middling kit but most will hate it and class it as unbuildable due to either its lineage or the writers will to be a ( unwittingly ill informed) keyboard warrior Happy xmas .... discuss.....

Dennis7423 Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Awfully ambitious of them, and as usual, I'll believe it when I see it. Can't help but prefer HK to do the large scale bombers... even though they have some niggles, their kits are refined and solid. Happy to be proven wrong though! - Dennis S.

phasephantomphixer Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) If true, and you didn't like the scheme issued (assuming they make it accurately enough) then you would have your work cut out for you. This one I would buy, (so far have passed on the Big Boeing) Ploesti D is a must Adding that Metal Gear IS A MUST! Thinking ALL contest or model shows need to plan MORE table space for us LSP'ers...

Guest The Southern Bandit Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hobby Boss can make decent kits, not heard anything bad about their 1/32 IL-2 Sturmovik for example, guessing this is a long way off though if it does come to fruition.
