I hope that when they return, they will invest more in Infinity Models, creating more accessible kits for the community.

It's childish to expect Tamiya to do everything we want, especially in 1/32. Plastic modeling isn't even their most important business... I only have this hope with Trumpeter, which can make kits that sell little, since if there is any loss, the communist party covers any gap that may exist...

What I regret most is that if Trumpeter doesn't do it, no other manufacturer will. Not that they are not capable, but simply because they lack courage. Most manufacturers are afraid of 1/32... There are things that only Trumpeter can do...

Thinking that we almost had a 1/32 Jaguar injected by kittyHawk, who gave it up to prior the Mirage 2000...

What would be the obvious? ICM continues to release an average of five kits every month. I don't understand what could be the reazon in postponing the HS-123. It would be past time to take advantage of the Christmas sales...

Upscale their 1/48 MIG-21 series!

This is great and exciting news for Brazilian modelers, since the Meteor F.8 was the first jet fighter in the Brazilian Air Force! This will sell well here! I was really hoping that HKM would make the F.8 as a follow-up to the Mk.IV, but that didn't happen, and Revell announcing the Mk.III left me quite frustrated, since the F.8 is a much more popular version, used in several countries. So I'm very happy that Revell listened to the market's greater expectations.

The kit released by Revell is the Mk.IIB, converting this to Mk.I standard is an easy job.

Considering that when they announced kits like the A-6 Intruder and Devastator in the same way, I imagine we will be seeing this 1/32 Viking kit arriving in stores around 2030...

It's quite acceptable for you to question the accuracy of Trumpeter's kits, however the engineering of their kits is very good and to date I haven't seen any of their kits that don't assemble well, including the HobbyBoss ones.

Sorry, my mistake...

At this moment the decal is available here in Brazil, but it will be available also with Hannant's in England and The48ers.com in Cyprus, as soon they restock the decals.

Hello guys,I just released a 1/32 scale decal for the A-7E with full stencils plus insignia, for the 1/32 Trumpeter kit. I decided to make it as a separate decal to save space on the decals with versions, since without these items you gain space for more options, and every A-7 kit comes with insignias and some stencils. Hence, those who do not want this type of hyper detailing (and there are those who do not like it), use these items from the native decal kit. In the same way, those who want to hyper detail the version of the kit or another manufacturer, have the option of buying just the stencil pack.

I've been dreaming about a Mirage F1 in 1/32 scale since the day I discovered its existence, in the early 80's. Since then, more than 40 years have passed and no manufacturer has pointed in that direction. I was immensely frustrated when I heard that KittyHawk came from the departure of one of Trumpeter's designers who left there taking with him the project of a Mirage F1 that would be released by Trumpeter, and when taken to kittyHawk, it was downscaled to 1/48 ... I still hope to see a 1/32 Mirage F1 in this life... Plastic, always plastic. Resin is another world... Currently I do not expect a kit from bigger planes like Mirage F1, Rafale, F-22 or any modern jet coming from any other manufacturer than Trumpeter, hoping not to come with too many issues... Even with the mistakes, when Trumpeter does it, and does it wrong, who would do another correct one? I like the A-7 Corsair II, Trumpeter did it wrong, and in all scales. For 1/72 and 1/48 there are better options, but in 1/32 their kit is the only game in town. Will any other manufacturer make another one? If so, I certainly won't live to see that.

Revell could take their good JU-88A kit and repop that with new parts for JU-88C fighters versions, or JU-188, just few sprues and a dream come true... Trumpeter could make new parts using their MIG-23 kit and bring us a MIG-27. Also few new parts could bring us a P-38M

Not all kit makers comment on their projects, others advance so much that they end up canceling before they start... We know that ICM promised an HS-123 as the next aviation release in 1/32, and recently Trumpeter released the Devastator, which was promised several years ago. Daco had promised a Fouga Magister in 1/32 and then, they did not talk about it anymore, Special Hobby promised a Thyphoon Mk.I and a Macchi 200, but they are masters at going back on promises... Does anyone know soething about any relevant release, in plastic (not reboxes or releases of already available kits from other manufacturer) in progress out there?

Companies often release the less popular versions first, when the more attractive version comes later, as they did with the new P-51D. However, this happens when these variants are already in the initial project, and the difference between them is restricted to a few parts. We see this with Revell's new P-51D, JU-88, He-111. The Meteor Mk.III only shares parts at this level, with the Mk.I. The F.8 version is a mostly new kit. It will be really surprising if it comes later. Revell has hesitated not to continue their modular kits, such as the JU-88 that died as the A-4, when with very few parts it could have reissued as the JU-88C or even the JU-188.

To be interesting worldwide, I believe the best seller would be an F.8, but I can't guess what Revell's perception will be... I'm heavily cheering for an F.8 !

The Greif was very near to FlyingFortress in its measures: He-177: Length: 22.00 m (72 ft 2 in) Wingspan: 31.44 m (103 ft 2 in) B-17: Length: 22.66 m (74 ft 4 in) Wingspan: 31.62 m (103 ft 9 in)

I asked Italeri about the MC-202: Hello all, I would like to ask if we will have the release of the 1/32 Mc.202 Folgore in scale still this year? Their answer: Gentile Sig. Miranda, la ringraziamo per averci contattato. La informiamo che, per l'uscita del modello Macchi MC Folgore, bisognerà attendere la fine dell'anno 2022 o inizio 2023; non abbiamo ancora informazioni precise. A tal proposito le suggeriamo di iscriversi alla nostra newsletter, in modo tale da restare aggiornato mensilmente su tutte le novità in uscita : https://www.italeri.com/ Restiamo a sua disposizione per ulteriori informazioni. Cordiali saluti, Tania Italeri Staff

I need it !!!

I hope they can take the 3D designs they have ready too. HK had a Jaguar Mk.I and an F-11 ready for 1/32 that were not released...
