I still haven't seen the show. I can't get motivated to watch based on what I'm reading here and have seen in short snippets on the internet. I do note that it is 86% fresh at Rotten Tomatoes, which is surprisingly high. I just don't want to spend money just to see this show; I have faith it will come around at some point and be right under my nose on HBO or Netflix, etc., (which I subscribe to), for free. If reviews were much stronger, I'd suck it up and pay the money. I have seen very short clips of some of the air combat, and the CGI is god awful. Reminds me of "Pearl Harbor" or "Midway" (the new ones). For anyone who has not done so already, go watch "COME AND SEE" anywhere you can find it. I watched it for free at Youtube. The whole movie was there. Probably 1 of the top 3 "war movies" I've ever seen.

This is my guess too. Probably a G-6, which has been modeled to death, but it would still be awesome in that big scale. It will be an iconic aircraft, from WWII (I think), and something German since they've done a modern kit of a US and RAF plane already. Bf-109 is the almost obvious guess. Trumpeter already did a 1/24 Ju-87 which a number of people have guessed. I would say "no" for that reason.

That color scheme has been on my radar for a long time! Not the easiest to reproduce, but so cool and interesting!

I have indeed binned many a kit, and find the act to be thoroughly therapeutic. For some reason, on some projects, the kit doesn't come together as planned, or it doesn't look the way I had imagined, and my passion for the project quickly drops off. When it doesn't come back after a period of years, I tend to throw it out, largely to make room for newer, more pertinent stuff. I do strip the box of interesting parts/decals/bits first, however, and bag them with a label indicating what kit they came from. You never know what interesting little accessories will be useful down the road.

The finished camouflage scheme is very nice and accurate to the original. A real triumph!

I have been waiting for this damned movie for what seems like about 15 years. It has been in development forever. I just watched a few up to date trailers. It looks to me more like "Midway" (the new one) or "Pearl Harbor" than "Band of Brothers" or "The Pacific." It's worth noting HBO dumped the project, which has me worried. The special effects look fake and computerized. I will watch EVERY SECOND of the show mind you! But I am smelling a major letdown already. I REALLY hope I'm wrong.

I have copied this technique to great success with 1/72 and 1/48 kits. The principle should work on 1/32 as well, just scale up the materials as needed. You don't need much "size" to hold up a model aircraft; they are light. Note that you can also present the "base" in a million ways with some creativity. https://scalespot.com/howto/stands/stands.php

Unfortunately, greed is older than buying and selling in China.

Many years ago, the big hobby store we enjoyed in my home town in upstate NY had the Airfix 1/24 Stuka hanging from the ceiling in desert color scheme, along with most of the other Airfix 1/24 kits. The Stuka was probably my favorite of the lot! It looks so cool, and my God, it is HUGE. I'm gonna have to get one of these.

I forgot about this Kate! B/W the Akagi deck kit, the Zero, and the Kate, lots of cool diorama possibilities coming from Border. I hope it sells well b/c I love when manufacturers give us new and inventive things like the Akagi bridge...and not the 847th Spitfire kit, or Tiger I kit, or IJN Yamato kit....

I just saw the news of the Aka deck in 1/35 scale coming soon at Modelbau-Koenig in Germany. I thought "That's an odd scale for something like this...why not scale it so you could display a Zero with the Akagi deck?" Then I thought: "Oh my gosh! They are going to release a 1/35 Zero or something like that!" And here is the proof! I think the Akagi deck and island kit is really cool....makes me maybe jump into 1/35 aviation for the first time.

Gorgeous! Love the fur coat on the figure! The whole thing looks fantastic.

I water floss (my teeth) every day. The thing shoots out water with actually quite a bit of force. Yes, it has a pressure dial, but even if dialed down to "1" it's a precise, sharp, HARD jet of fluid. I can't imagine cleaning an airbrush with it without getting the cleaning fluid all over the room. Maybe I'm missing something.
