Didn't the Trumpeter1/32 TBD-1 Devastator kit, which was released in 2023, first get announced in 2005 or 2006?

If Trumpeter do a second release for Midway aircraft as some people have suggested, they'll need to include a twin rear machine gun set-up if VT-8 aircraft from Hornet are to be modelled. Otherwise, aftermarket to the rescue or rob the mount from a Trumpeter SBD-3? The odd-shaped bulge on the starboard fuselage under the windscreen does not seem to be included (for aircraft upgunned with a 50 calibre machine gun I think) and great fun will be enjoyed by all making the odd triple pronged pitot head! I'm looking forward to it very much!

Thanks for that advice, I have done both actions as suggested and will keep the forum updated as to any progress.

Hi everyone I have seen from other posts on this forum (and indeed, a couple of other sites) that Jetmads have been really on the ball when it comes to replacing faulty parts for their 1/32 Viggen kit. I have also seen that they have responded to emails regarding their safety following the dreadful earthquakes that hit Turkey and Syria recently and that they, being in Istanbul, are fine. That being the case, I am perplexed at the complete lack of response to a request for a pair of replacement clear canopy/windscreen pieces that I made some time ago. The model which was received in December, was only examined and started some weeks later and the 2 clear parts were found to have moulding faults in them which could not be polished out. I therefore emailed Jetmads requesting the parts, including photos showing the issue. But I have had heard nothing from them at all, not even an acknowledgement of my request. Should I be concerned? Does anyone else have a similar problem or is this long delay normal? Many thanks for any help or advice. BHH

Hi everyone I am about to start a major build of a 1/32 Trumpeter BAC Lightning F.6, incorporating many of the "fixes" that have been identified as required for greater accuracy over the years. I have also bought a few detail sets and a new corrected canopy from Aerocraft. One thing I cannot find is any decals for the late "2 tone grey" F.6 aircraft, including the sharkmouth carrying aircraft from 5 Squadron. I found a build online which mentioned an Xtradecal set, but I cannot find anything about it. Does anyone know if this set is available anywhere, or if the markings I want are on any other decal sheet? Thanks in advance for any help or info you can provide. Best wishes BHH.

An update! A company called 3DPM has launched 3D printed ladders for both the F-105D and a pair for the F-105G. They are available direct or via Ebay (put 1/32 F-105 ladder into the search box). I have a pair on order and will report back on their quality and fit. Cheers BHH

According to both Morgan and Shacklady's excellent Spitfire book and the allspitfirepilots.org website, EP706 had a "B" wing, so the Hobby Boss kit is perfectly fine to use a basis.

To just correct you, the Hobby Boss Spit Vb Trop kit definitely gives the chin scoop - in fact you get the option of 2, the large Volkes filter exactly as in the profile above and the smaller Aboukir filter. The kit also gives the option of clipped wings and full span wings.

1/32 Roden Albatros W.4. Does a kit of this exist?
BadHatHarry replied to ssculptor's topic in LSP Discussion
Don't think it ever existed. On Ebay, someone sells a 1/32 Albatros W.4 conversion set to use on a Roden Albatros D.I kit. -
DK Decals DKD32009 has an option for one of Beurling's many Spitfires on Malta. Not certain about the Seafire, the HobbyBoss Spitfire Vb Trop is probably the best option.
