There was the resin kit from scratchbuilders  https://www.largescaleplanes.com/reviews/review.php?rid=1017
 
Apparently Tigger doesn't offer the vac kit anymore.  

In my case, as I get older I'm becoming more and more aware of my own mortality. Buying kits (that I know I will never build is) is like buying time.
 
"Hell yeah! I'm gonna build 'em all before I die! Just you wait and see!"
 
I know I'm only fooling myself but it feels so good! LOL!

OK guys, time to right this ship and get it back on topic. We've been aware of Simon's conflict of interest with regard to Kotare and Richard Alexander for some time now, and normally we would treat this as their personal business to sort out between them. But it has spilled over into many threads here in the forums, and caused a certain amount of aggravation. Given that we've recently discovered that Simon had in fact been removed from the forums once before, I've taken the rather drastic decision to ban him. We don't normally discuss these decisions openly in the forums, but I think an additional level of transparency is required in this case.
 
OK, back to Eduard's fantasy 1/32 release schedule!

They haven't, and this constant sniping hasn't gone unnoticed.

I completely disagree about Kotare, think whatever you like about the Fit and engineering, but te Kotare Spitfire is really badly researched by comparision to an Eduard Spitfire - the Kotare is bad as far as the big forms go, and the Kotare cockpit is a complete muddle..... An Eduard 1/48 Spitfire MkI scaled up to 1/32 would be infinitely better than the Kotare effort.
 

The Sabre jet would be my concession to blow torch and or lawn dart planes.   

Haven't built a 48th bird in about 20 years,  just wanted an Expeditor and I know I'll never see one in my scale so took
  this down from the shelf that had been sitting for the last 3 years and dove in, reworked the whole thing to get it where
  We are. hope you like it.

The correct answer as always: Scratchbuild a Me-410 and soon an injection molded kit will hit the shop shelves...

It was on Infinity's list, but doesn't look like that will happen. Just have to keep waiting and hoping for redemption after messing up my HpH build by putting a twist in the fuselage that left the wings hilariously twisted

A darn ambitious project! Was  this to be a resin/3d kit?  The bugger needs to be styrene.  Too big for resin.

Thought back in 2022 Infinity Models announced they were going to bring one forth...

Nice Choice  

Got the tail antenna up..still needs to be blended in. Also the tail beacons. Continuing to skin the belly-

 

After a bit of trawling through the stash, I've now settled on this kit for my entry into the Group Build:
 

 
Hopefully the connection to the GB theme is obvious! This is just a placeholder for now, as I'm trying not to start any new builds right now! I'm hoping to clear the bench enough to be able to kick this one off around mid-year, if not sooner.
 
In the meantime, if you'd like a closer look at the kit, Jeroen Peters reviewed it for us back in 2015:

Definitely.. 

But I bet you’ll be dreaming about it (like I do!). 

I will try 

I hope that the Kotare Spitfire Va arrives soon so that I can join with my Vb trop conversion.

Just seems to be a trend, hate to be left out, will be doing a simple quick conversion on this,
      1st Canadian Division, sky blue spinner and Fus. band

I am late to the game.  Love it. 

Red Ensign, "Z" stripe, Royal Canadian Air Force, high viz red/white/ blue Maple Leaf roundel...my favorite schemes!!! What a great build!!

Funny that you mentioned Thorpe Abbots, I visited  in 1978 with a friend and we HAD to leave after about 15 minutes. I  can't really describe the feeling except it felt very menacing. I wasn't the only one either as she felt it too, took about an hour for us to finally shake it off. We went to other old bases but that was the only one that spooked us.
