    Great Wall Hobby P-40B- preorders

    in LSP Discussion

    Posted · Edited by petrov27

    the side windows in the kit are just the clear areas with no frame around them - the frame is moulded with the fuselage sides. The complaint is that it would have been preferable if these included the frames such as was done with the Special Hobby 1/32 P-36A and Hawk 75 - it gives a cleaner ability to mask them, you are not worried about glue on the edge of the clear part, etc. 

     

    There is a bit of drama here that was not expressed by the complaint; the "complainer" also says that the kit looks fantastic and that the engineering is good aside from this point - in no point does he say it is "unbuildable" that I see - that is someone else who seems very sensitive about any criticism of the kit overreacting to his comment.

     

    I think his point is fair that it would have been better to do these windows with the frame included but I think the horse has already left the barn so to speak and it is not going to affect my purchase of the kit....

    ICM NEWs 2021 - Bell AH-1G Cobra in 1/32

    Yeah while I am extremely happy to see a new Cobra especially in 1/32 the whole release plan is a little odd and frustrating with now the Special Hobby version and then the word they are also releasing in 1/35 scale. I guess it would definitely have been better to wait to purchase till all options were on the table but it feels pretty rare that a new release is going to go this way (with so many options....)

     

    Infinity Models Bristol Beaufighter

    Great news indeed! Im getting forgetful in my old age though, wasn't HPH/Infinity doing an A-20? I seem to recall that from several years back. Also, pretty sure at some point they displayed a BV-138 in process? Was that a fever dream maybe? Not trying to turn this into yet another "wish list" but I swear we have seen these other subjects well under-way by these folks but now we see Beaufighter (which dont get me wrong I am all in for) so just curious what happened to those others as well :)
