Kagemusha Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I don't know,... this might look kind of cool. (Image snatched from the WWW.) Great picture, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 There's also the issue of the wireless op's window on the Tamiya Lanc it's too far forward but it's still a nice kit, the Bomber boys was a good proggy. Pity tho they didn't give a mention to the Stirling and Hallybag plus how tight a squeeze was it getting to and into the rear turret!!!!

CATCplSlade Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Did you say a PBY? Looks as though this is being developed by Kingscale in 1/32: http://amg.cdc.cz/kat109.html Obant Now that looks very intriguing. At first I thought it was a vacuform kit (which I don't do), but on closer examination, I can see that it's injection. All that interior detail is nothing short of amazing. Could precise detailing like that, inside and out, be the start of a new trend in kit production as new technologies come into use? I suspect this kit won't be cheap, but then, cost isn't a concern for me now that I'm retired and don't have many expenses. As for the other two from my wish list, the JU-52 and C-47, I understand Masterbox is working on those, but when or if they'll actually go into production seems to be an open question. At least I'll have plenty of other multi-engined 1/32 kits to keep me busy in the meantime. Oh, and thanks for the info. Jerry Peterson Hi, first-time poster, wandering over occasionally from the Small Scale Military HQ forums as I started building 1/32 after 21st Century went bust and Forces of Valor slowed their new releases. Had to sign up when I saw this post although I know its a little old now - I was searching on updates to HK Models releases to see if the B17 was due soon. So.................................. ..........anyway, saw the mention of the PBY, which I have seen before while doing other searches (and I am excited about a PBY in 1/32), and wanted to let anyone else interested in this know that there is a cutaway PBY-5 fuselage on display at the Pensacola Naval Aviation Museum in Florida IN ADDITION to the restored plane outside. If I had known about this kit I would have taken more and better pics last time I was there, but as it is my birth city and I still have family there I will be going back for more. Lots of great planes there BTW for reference pics. I have touched the only known 2-seater training ME-262 there. The PBY cutaway is setup to resemble a plane in flight (mannequins in crew positions, gear, personal items about, etc) so it should be a detailer's wet dream. I hope this kit becomes a reality, even though I've already swamped my room with the B25, He111, Ju88, and soon the He219. Already marked out a corner for the B17, if and when.

richdlc Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 hello if that's the case (with the cutaway fuse) would you mind taking lots of pics & posting them up here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATCplSlade Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I only have a few right now; wife wants to visit P'cola for Spring Break (not visiting family this time so we can do more stuff - last time we were hampered by my dad's wife - not my real mom - who had hurt her back ). I plan on taking tons of pics as I have a Trumpeter TBM-3 Avenger, Trumpeter F6F-3N Hellcat, and want the upcoming Hasegawa N1K2 Shiden Kai so I want detail pics for when I start those builds. In the meantime, here is what I have plus some extra stuff: My buddy, George: The ME-262 2-seater: Back view of the Avenger: And a Battle of Midway survivor: And lastly, rides for the kiddies: Here is a list of planes on exhibit, just in case anyone would like to make requests: http://www.navalaviationmuseum.org/explore/exhibits-and-collections/aircraft-on-display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
