I would argue in many cases yes we are "missing" an actual good/accurate kit for many types but whatever.

Yeah, a new accurate P-51B in 1/32 remains my top want. Still, haven't done a wish list in a while so here is my current: P-51B (I believe has been mentioned as in process by a couple manufacturers but nothing has materialized) A-20G (I know HPH/Infinity/HGW has mentioned one in process for years) Beaufighter (a new tool would be nice, again I think Infinity has mentioned on in process?) BV-138 (HPH maybe doing one?) B-26 Marauder Pe-2 Other "nice to haves" in 1/32 that would get my $$ -new tool accurate P-38 series -La-5, La-7 (Did the HPH already but would do another if avail in plastic) -F6F Hellcat (just a good accurate basic 1/32 kit in the Hasegawa style please) -Wildcat - Trumpeter isn't bad but showing its age, if someone did a new-tool accurate kit I would be in for a couple...)

Sounds more like an affliction ha - like I have more decals than I have kits to apply them to - bad case of Decalcomania

Decalcomania. Learned a new word today ha

Yeah a little confused at all the kits that have been shown in progress by HPH then now Infinity. I feel like the A-20 was shown in progress like maybe five years ago approx? First was HPH, then HGW now Infinity? Haven't we also seen or heard of a BV-138 and a Beaufighter in the works as well with masters well underway (maybe just a fuselage for the Beau?) Surprised at so many irons in the fire so to speak. As Dave says above though I hope their next plastic kits improve on the Helldiver - while I have not built it myself every review or in progress I have seen has mention it is rough....

Very interesting releases to be sure. I'm still a little perplexed at the 1/35th and 1/32 cobra releases though - while I know there is not a huge difference in sizes it is still noticeable and I was hoping the 1/32 cobra meant they were going that scale for additional choppers but maybe that was a mistake.

Thats really coming together nice - well done!

Totally amazing!

Neat to see the Mando in this fighter but it does not seem as practical a ship as the Razor Crest was. I guess this is the Mando's mid life crisis - kid has gone away to college, family sedan got wrecked and instead of replacing with a useful truck or SUV he gets a old hot rodded up sports car.....

Ha they should release the full aircraft in 1/32 like one of those subscription models I see out there. Sign up and every month they send you a chunk of the F-111 over like a year and a half.

Huh well that certainly is interesting. I almost feel they would be better off to do the entire nose of the F-111 in 1/32 then it could be like the "nose art" Lancaster kit that is out there....

Thank you for all the notes! So, Im a little confused on the square-back pilot seat - is there any guidance on when that is accurate to use? Is it good for the AVG subjects at least?

maybe slightly more detail on this pic:

Wow - what a beauty for sure - fantastic finish and a real eye-catcher!

the sights are interesting, but I feel what is needed more is the floor mounted gunsight and the AVG reflector setup piece that is attached to the bulletproof glass. The old Cutting Edge improvement set for the Trumpeter kit had them - I may steal them from the set I have but would prefer new aftermarket....
