Servus guys out of a cold Austria! I just wanted to post my thoughts on the new kits coming this year!!

First I must say that I have been very happy with most 'new' kit that have come ou in the last two years. What I am lookin forward to is:

1. Revell of Germany new 1/72 Uboot.... sprue shots (pics) on the website www.revell.de !!

2. Trumps new 109's....

3. Trumps new F-105 series

4. Hasegawa Me 109 K is coming.....http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/e-w/NEWDETAIL/03.11/ST20.html

5. Hasegawa is reboking the D-9 ...http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/e-w/NEWDETAIL/03.11/08143.html

6. I still have to go and get the Academy F-18 !!!!

7. I am curious as hell to see the Trump Corsair... I hope they got this one right!!

 

I don't know about you'all but I am happy to see new subjects... I guess all those letters I wrote to Hasegawa to do the 109K finally payed off! I just hope they do the D-11 and 13 now!! or that sombody will resin it up!!

Take care and happy modelling!!

Woops.... forgot to mention the Amtech P-39 series... now I am a happy camper when this sucker hits the shelves.... I guess somebody was listening to the polls all over the place....... just add some Russian stars to the decal sheets, sit back get the research and measurements right..... this will be a winner!!

Cheers

Alan

 

P.s Amtech if you are reading this.... please don't change your mind on this one..... I have been waiting years to see this one in Styrene!!

Thanks for thinking of us....

I just went to the Revell website. Your right,the U-boat will be a hit !

 

What a model,to bad they don't mention a price. I think its not going to be cheap.

 

I once visited a real U-boot at Kiel,Germany.A museum piece where you can walk inside.

Since then I've wanted to make a U-boot,but all the old Revell kits are a bit on the small side so this 1/72 nd is what I want.

 

They will olso make the P-38 again.To bad ,because that one is still around in the old kits.

Revell could have done better here .

Missed a few others in resin, Alan, if you really want to drain that pocketbook:

Fisher Models F9f series

Panther Productions Skyraider series

Collectaire F-80C

Aerodynamics Buccaneer

And our own Jerry Rutman's Buffalo series!!

 

It's gonna be a good year(s)! #>

 

All of which I have on pre-order btw - except for the Buffalo, only because Jerry won't take pre-orders!

I also checked RoG's website and it looks like they are re-issuing the Revell Zero as well as the P-38. Definitely a good year for models.
