Zero77 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Four from SH, One from Azur. All open cockpits. Azur belongs to MPM like Special Hobby, so it's the same kits from the same moulds. D Bellis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOG7777 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 The 1/48 I-16 Type 24 is designated as kit# 48097. There's also a listing for a I-16 Type 24 as kit# 32001. This would be the 1/32 kit. It's possible for a company to release the same aircraft in multiple scale guys... just like Eduard, Tamiya, Hasegawa, ZM, Special Hobby, and a bunch of others have done... The existence of the 1/48 doesn't disprove the pending release of the 1/32. It's possible that the listing for kit# 32001 is wrong, but.... we have no way of knowing yet. Given that it has a different kit#, I'm inclined to believe it's coming. Until proven otherwise. (Technically it could even be a rebox of the Special Hobby kit, since Special Hobby has already reboxed ICM kits) Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICM's website lists the 1/48 scale kit as already being out, plus there are pictures of the parts at the ICM website of the 1/48 scale kit. The Hannants listing indicates an expected release date of sometime in the 3rd quarter of 2017 for the 1/32 kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOG7777 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 OK sounds like the 1/32 really is coming. Glad to hear it's not a SH rebox. Got enough of those already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 It would be nice even if it's a 1/48 upscaling, as the 1/48 looks very good and detailed (more detailed than the plain SH kit, though the Hi-tech version is a bit better with a more accurate cockpit floor and parts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Having built the SH/Azur I-16, I am happy to see ICM release one as I have at least one more to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royboy Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Perhaps they'll look at some Soviet AF twins at some time too, they always seem to be the bridesmaids these days. Here's hoping! Edited January 24, 2017 by Royboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
