1to1scale Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hs anyone every made in resin, vacuum form, or plastic...any Japanese WW2 era bombers? Such as Val, Kate, Mabel, etc? I remember seeing someone scratchbuilt a Kate, but it's beyond my current abilities. coogrfan and Big Texan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Not so much a bomber, but a 1/32nd Dinah would be stunning. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Mabel!? Had to look that one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I scratch built a 1/32 Betty but towards the end I converted it into a piece of sculpture. Had to, I am primarily a sculptor. I would like to build another but lack the time. What do you want to know? Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Scratchbuilders, or whatever their name was, produced a resin kit 1/32 Val but they made only the pilot model. They never did produce a kit for sale. Something about the partners getting old and one or more was ill. So the company came to an end and so did plans for the Val. Alas, I would have bought one gladly. Such is life. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigant Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Well, Oldmodelkits.com advertises a 1/32 Betty Bomber with Ohka flying bomb combo for $110.00: https://www.oldmodelkits.com/index.php?detail=28228&cat=Military%20Aircraft&scale=1/32&searchtext=Betty%20Bomber&erl=RCM-1-32-Mitsubishi-G4M-Betty-and-Ohka The fact that it is vacuformed, made to order after payment, takes 8 to 10 weeks, and the kit's details can vary and the maker recommends scratchbuilding skills, keeps my happy with my stashed 1/48 scale Tamiya Betty and Hawk Ohka & V-1 kits.

LSP_Kevin Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I am seriously considering ordering this one, has anyone ever built this brand before? RCM is Roberts Combat Models, or more commonly known as simply Combat. The name describes the build process.

Lee White Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Combat models can be hit or miss. Their earlier kits are better, the F-106 is sweet. The SR-71 is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
