Wow that is a good deal for a nice kit. Lordy I wish Hasegawa was still doing kits like this; basic with few bells and whistles, but good shapes, reasonable surface detail and a great platform for aftermarket if one wants more detail and affordable...

Wait, wait, why aren't all you 32-scale zealots melting down about THIS announcement the way you did over the 1/35 Kate?
After all, these kits are going to be even MORE ridiculous next to your other builds.
Just sayin'.
Well, maybe:
1. they are also doing these kits in 1/32 so one has a choice?
2. 1/24 has kind of been out there for a long time as a scale for aviation subjects?
3. 1/24 feels like a logical step up for those who want to build EVEN MORE BIGGER

Having tried to improve the Trumpeter kit cockpit area and still being unsatisfied with it, I would say Hasegawa personally despite the age of the kit and lack of detail.
The airfix looks good though - I have been holding out for a conversion to a dash three to build it myself but may give in and do as a dash-5

AOA Decals has a A-6B from this squadron on their sheet "Intruders from the Sea" 32-009.

Wow - fantastic build and finish - love it!
You mentioned some issues with fit and that if you build another you would go about it differently - just curious if you could expand on that? I like to keep notes on future builds I am planning and the P-38 is one of those....

What I like the most in Williams Bros kits is the instruction sheet. Very instructive with quality drawings, they’ve never been excelled.
I bought the Williams Seversky at its release then sold it years ago when I stopped modelling. A few months ago, I found a used one at a modelling show for 10 euro. It’s been resting on its shelf since. Now seeing your excellent build, I’m wondering if its time has finally come after all!Definitely agree with that - I LOVE the instruction sheet/drawing that come with the kits - the Gee Bee Z in particular was a favorite. I have a very old boxing of that kit now I want to dig it out lol....

yeah I would throw in to pre-order or "kick-start" production of the Kate....

Very nice build and great finish - love what you have done here.
I still have great fondness for the Williams Brothers kits - still great racers and unusual subjects even now

The Top Notch masks look good - I had not been aware of them prior - thank you for sharing that link

Thank goodness for Trumpeter’s‘interpretations’ - they are keeping the aftermarket industry alive
True - and since we are seeing some really good aftermarket options for it so I am good with that
On the other hand there is no shortage of aftermarket available for the 1/32 Tamiya P-51D either so hard to say

eh, I would say any thread posted to LSP has at least a 50 percent chance of becoming a wish list thread

wow! that is looking fantastic, though I have to start to wonder if it wouldn't be easier to offer the whole fuselage as a printed piece since almost all is modeled in 3D now
-
Any updates on progress with this conversion kit?
-
dang-it you just sold me a Devastator kit - I wasn't gonna pick it up but this pit set really sells it.
Very interested to see what other sets you do in 1/32. If I may suggest, I know its a old kit but the 1/32 Trumpeter Wildcat is a pretty good kit and there isn't much aftermarket out there anymore for it.
-
If you haven't got it already, the MENG 1/24 Fokker DrI is a mighty fine kit....

Heya Eli welcome back - so good to see your return!
Regarding A-20 options, I have always liked "Miss Behavin" - there was a set from Pyn-Up decals in 1/48 always thought it looked pretty great
Codes and numbers and insignias I would be fine with masks myself if that is cheaper/easier to produce especially

Oh that looks amazing. Been a top want of mine forever and not one I thought we would ever see in 1/32 but now that it is here just not sure I would be able to swing the price tag sadly. I guess we shall see. Maybe the Bank wont mind if I skip a mortgage payment?
