Would love to have one as well Thierry, but I hope that they will keep price somewhere in 600-700€ range, when considering there are no engines and no undercarriage and I would guess they will sell catapult separately. They will be in Moson during the weekend so maybe we will have some price estimate.

Mirek posted some progress on this one https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=105045&start=5580

Mirek posted pics of finished model on modelforum.cz it should be available to order during the May https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=152824

superb build Mike!

new rebox of A-4 available for preorder from March 30th

Wow! Impressive model. I can imagine all the effort you put in it.

There are just too many missing. I fully agree with Kev about He 177. However being these days into airliners somehow it would be great to have: 1. C-46 2. DC-4 /6 3. Martin 202/404 4. Convair CV 240/340/440

seems that Bv-138 is almost ready Mirek posted some updates over on modelforum.cz and states that first pieces should be available for the Moson Model Show (20th of April)

Episode 5 so far the best one, however, I have seen first 4 episodes for couple of times already and I really like it. I have read the book for 3 times in past 2 years so it’s easy for me to follow the characters and events but I could imagine that for audience without any knowledge of 8th AF it could be really hard to build connection to main characters

new sets ready to order from Infinity https://www.infinitymodels.cz/inf-3206-8--full-cockpit-3d-print/ https://www.infinitymodels.cz/inf-3206-9--engine-3d-print/

thunder model has annouced even the bigger version MIL-44 seems that we will get more from them in 1/32, fingers crossed

Just saw the first episodes. Wow! Superb. Can’t wait for the rest

Wow! Great news. now it seems I will build my first Bf 109

some tests of printed IP on their FB page. https://www.facebook.com/people/JSProducts-WestlandSikorsky-Sea-King-Range/61554900021700/ and comment from JSProducts regarding the planned release schedule: "Mid 2024 is the target window for the CH-124 and Mk 50, followed very closely by SH-3 types, and MK3 back half of 2024. Then the list moves to the various Westland European mk's."

It's great to see that the guys at the Border are bold enough to release even twin engine plane and that they are improving with every new release. Considering myself 1/32 "scaleist" I'm pretty happy that they have announced He-111 and not Ju-52, G4M (IMHO 2 possible future releases for them), He-177 or other multiengine plane not kitted in 1/32 before which could change my one scale rule for the aircraft models. Seems that the Border is avoiding US subjects (maybe to please "Big Brother"??) so I don't think that we will see anything like C-47 or PBY in near future. On the other hand I have several ship kits in 1/35 in my stash and Akagi deck with some planes to display (Kate and A6M) fits to this category Btw this is interesting concept and I can imagine part of Mogami flight deck with some F1M2 or E13A1 reconnaissance floatplanes as a future release. Even better would be to get nice kit of crowded deck of USS Enterprise before the Midway or Hornet deck with Doolittle's B-25B

Latest Old Man Blog posted https://www.zoukeimura.co.jp/sentiment/oyajiblog_134.html Seems that Ki-100 is in latest stage of development and that P-51B is getting closer and another one QUOTE: There's more! ! Among the ◯◯ machines that are sure to appear for those who aim to become pilots, the one that I want the most is finally here! Moreover, there are three types from ◯ to ◯ in 1/32 scale, so I'm so excited that I can't even sleep. I want it!
