The difference between the H-0 and H-1 is the presence of fuel tanks in the wings. IIRC, this manifests itself on the model with a difference in panel lines on the bottom of the Ta-152 wing. There is an access panel, presumably allowing for access to the wing tanks on the H-0 that is not present on the H-1. Otherwise, the two planes are identical externally.

On a board dedicated to models 1/35 and bigger, the good news needs to be about bigger stuff.

Great points Radu. I am really looking forward to what is likely to be the best 109G ever made. As for some, gilding the lily isn't far enough.

Love the engine and gun/cannon detail. This looks promising.

What do they say about this Yak kit?

With the outbreak and continuation of war over there, I don't trust anything. We've heard nothing from ICM since the war began.

Perhaps the successful run of these will cause late model G's and K's to be produced in the future.

A big amen to this. All of this unempathetic, selfish complaining in a Ki.100 thread about other kits not being released quick enough to suit everyone's schedule is tiresome.

...which is apparently planned. The CAD images are of a razorback version. Everyone use your eyes

I was just thinking a few days ago how nice it would be if ZM would do this aircraft in 1/32 scale. Now the thought becomes reality. They are really doing a nice job of filling in some gaps in the 1/32 range of Japanese subjects. Stoked about this news. BTW, a close look at the CAD's reveals a razorback version is in the cards.

Pro engine. I'll be waiting to see if the after-market comes through before I buy.

I look forward to more Hs. 129 releases (with more marking options than North Africa) and the upcoming 109G.

Copper State brand name is well-known among WWI modelers and I am sure the guys in Latvia paid for that good will for that very reason when they purchased CSM. It does look weird, nevertheless.
