Probably the U95 and Rb99 missiles too, peculiar to the D version. I'd expect those to be added in the new release.

Seems to me this is what they are doing, keeping promises. They had promised all the variants of the Viggen when the first one came out so this is not totally out of the line. I'd be happier if this it was the double seater Sk37 this time, but I expect it will come too. I'm also looking forward the FH-1 Phantom as well.

Yeah, that's how these guys seem to work. No problem as long as they keep me updated, which is what they always do. I wish they delivered faster but I am aware developing a detailed kit from scratch and producing 500 copies of it must take time and effort. Never disappointed by what they produced, looking forward to building my Drakens too.

I would definitely be interested in a 1/32 Jaguar. And a Rafale too for sure. But they have to be, like any other kit I may be convinced to pay some extra money for, smartly scaled down copies of the original. I would not want to pay at all for a kit that lacks accuracy for I know it will hurt my eyes every time I look at it on my shelf. Then we can start talking about price which of course is a major factor in my choosing whether or not to buy. An expensive kit may be worth to buy it depending on how much one wants it but I would not buy a kit with remarkable inaccuracy even if reasonably priced.

And it doesn't have weapons or even external fuel tanks! Rafale is one of my favourite modern jets but I'll have to skip this one thanks to that price range.

Hopefully they really don't Maybe another reason why our never ending wishlists go unnoticed

I see Trumpeter brings their announcements to life faster than it did earlier. Nevertheless I am still inclined to believe without any particular reason that this one could take longer than 2025. They could seriously be working on it and they could be indeed nearing the release, but it is also quite possible that this is just about probing the market to see if there is enough interest... ...which I observe is lacking a bit. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would expect a new 1/32 release to spark more excitement than seven pages. The other possibility is that not many modelers are fond of the Viking in large scale. Which then again may discourage Trumpeter even if it was really their intention to make the release.

Sure, no trouble at all, I'm on vacation and will be back next week. I had posted the images of the first edition (it was two years ago if I'm not wrong) so I did not think it would still attract interest but I'll take care of it when I'm back.

My two kits arrived three weeks ago. The kit has x2 Rb04 antiship missiles and x4 rocket pods.

My two Viggens arrived about three weeks ago. Good packaging, nice box art and a better content with new layout inside the box. I had posted the first Viggen pictures so I didn't post any this time. I'm away on vacation, I'll put some pictures when I return.

#12948 here I had to try two times to have the payment go through. Then asked Jetmads for confirmation, they replied the card issuers apply security filters to make sure the transactions are genuine and they also say this is normal when they start any preorders which cause a spike in the number of payments on their site, making the banks alerted and check the site activity.

Maybe... but one I would hardly rely on if I was a manufacturer, given the diversity of any such list. And probably not the best way of choosing their subjects too I should say, considering Kitty Hawk is rumoured to place too much emphasis on these and we all know how they were rewarded.

Why the mystery, I will never understand! If a manufacturer is making a new kit then why not announce whatever it is? Are they afraid of competition? Well, then just announce the kit when it is about to be launched and your competitors cannot catch up. This does not help anybody, does it? I don't see the modelers benefiting from this other than making wishlists and nor do I think it helps the manufacturers at all in any way. Sincerely asking, am I missing something?

My favourite Japanese aircraft! Looks better than the Zero, imho. A very nice model with very nice finish.
