LSP_Kevin Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Does anybody know anything about the following kit? AML 1/32 Heinkel He 162 Salamander All I can find about it online is that it's listed in a couple of places as a future release in short-run injected plastic, with AML being a Czech producer. It sounds unlikely to me that it ever got released, and is a hangover from a time before the Revell kit came into being. Anyone know for sure?

thierry laurent Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I am wondering if this was not this special boxing including the Revell kit and all the CMK detail sets...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 I am wondering if this was not this special boxing including the Revell kit and all the CMK detail sets...? That's the logical conclusion to make, but each of the 3 or so websites I found this listed on described it as 'short-run'. If we can't find anything definitive about it, I'm going to assume that it was never released, and remove it from the database. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Kev, You are probably right as the reboxing I was thinking about was in fact marketed by "Best Choice" as shown here: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/BEST1002 Thierry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll remove the AML entry. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 I've just found a photo on eBay that shows the side of the box, partially, and you can see MPM's name and logo there, so I guess that explains that. So, which brand should it come under - MPM or Best Choice? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 I found a few more on eBay, and all bar one labelled it as an MPM kit, so I'll stick with that. I just can't seem to locate a release date. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hi Kev, It was released in 2008 (confirmed by two different sources). Hth Thierry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hi Kev, It was released in 2008 (confirmed by two different sources). Hth Thierry Thanks, Thierry. I've also been contacted by a member who has the kit, and has offered to take photos of the contents. This should complete our entry nicely!

So, which brand should it come under - MPM or Best Choice? Kev I'm just guessing, but I'd imagine it's like the Revell/Pro Modeller kits; a Revell kit, but the Pro Modeller series.

Apparently the included decals are from Best Choice, which is where that name comes from on the box. Definitely an MPM kit. Kev LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 OK, time for another kit question! Did the UMI Boomerang kit ever get released? http://www.largescaleplanes.com/kitdb/details.php?kit=166 Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 As far as I know, the answer is no. I think he was working on it the same time as the Avia S199 conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
