Given how many kits of figures, vehicles and field equipment exist in 1/35th, this makes a lot os sense. Great potential for dioramas, and I hope to see some soon.

Consider my head well and truly spun around, Fancherello. What you're doing is extraordinary. Adam

If they incorporated the interchangeable open/closed engine concept introduced on their 1/48 G-6,, it would sell forever. They'll do what they want to do, when they feel like it. Still, it's clear that Tamiya took a keen interest in raising the bar on -109s in 1/48 and 1/72. 1/32 makes all of the sense. And if they get to enjoy martinis made with ZMs tears, all the better for them.

Lord knows, he is that guy who will always need another Bf-109. Green has a nice symbiotic relationship with Tamiya, so it's possible that he knows something and is dropping a big hint.

I hope the good people of Zoukei Mura see your model. Beautiful work, man.

I've used a similar product at work and thought about modeling applications. Maybe? Worth trying.

Worth thinking about. First challenge that popped into my head was the likelihood of air bubbles collecting on the interior details. Could vacuum extraction work? I don't know. There might be some freaky optical distortions, too.

If they all spent $25 on a crowdsourcing initiative to offset some development costs? $124, 975. I would gladly invest $25 in the development of a KI-46 "Dinah." Hell, I'd chip in to fund a B-29, to make 5,000 people happy and see what some of us would do with it.

Not to mention the Tupolev copy, the Tu-4, and its variants.

An opportunity to please modelers in smaller scales as well. The market's there. If viable companies can specialize in gun barrels and landing gear, there's room for dedicated turret makers.

If the wings are that much thicker than the correct profile, wouldn't that bloat have knock-on effects on the dimensions and shapes of the cowlings and nacelles?

I've been thinking a lot about how this kit could serve as a starting point for a Ta-152. Buckets of blood, sweat and tears, but I can see it.

I don't know, man. Seems that models in 1/24 and 1/18 are consistently among the most-followed WIPs, and the models are often crazy great. The interest and the the market exist, and I think it may grow pretty rapidly.

An iconic American aircraft that was also flown by other air forces and navies does make a lot of sense.

Warbird, this is a real mic drop. One of the best -262 models I've ever seen.
