Silver Wings Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks Kev, yep I guess we would provide an outstanding quality of details but you know... There are so many "virgin" kits to be released so we won't cry after the La-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoyguy Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Not only did I not know that the Craftworks La 5 was still available, I didn't even know that Craftworks was still in business! Fair enough to avoid it then I guess, though I suspect a Silver Wings La 5 would be superior. Kev Well, the last copyright date on the Craftsworks website is 2006, so you might want to check with them before getting too excited Edited March 25, 2013 by eoyguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have been trying to contact Craftworks for a while now about their La 5... But I never get any replies... The one person that I know of that did get a La 5 in the last 6 months, said it took 18 months to sort out.... So I would welcome a Silver Wings La 5! I would at least get a couple for myself and I know a couple of others in my office that would get one too So please don't drop the La 5 from you list!

dennismcc Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Regarding the La5 I gave up with the Craftworks website and have a "saved search" on eBay looking out for the kit but no luck so far, the proverbial hens teeth, and no doudt that the price would be outside my reach even if I found one.

Out2gtcha Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Our own Dave Pratt is leaving the hobby and was/is selling a CW La 5 for sale on this very site - Craftworks La-5 $250.00 USD is not an out of range price for one either. Ive seen them going for more. Just like the 2nd release of the CW Me-410, IMHO they are in the "OOP" category and about as hard to get as you can find.

Kagemusha Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Oh dear, I hope that 7 changes back to a 5 - I emailed Craftworks regards buying the La-5 kit years ago, never had a reply. I'd buy an early and late La-5. Maybe you should have a mini poll La-5 v La-7? Just to gauge interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Wings Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 In fact we've always wanted to release the La-5 but knowing about the Craftworks, we've changed our plan to the La-7.But since the La-5 is not available - we can get back to our previous thought No problem. Guys, what about the other releases? Many of them are pretty advanced... Some of them might be releases in plastic if everything goes well. We'll share more information soon but would like to know your personal opinions. We don't have any experience in cooperating with world's largest distributors, selling IP kits....

dennismcc Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Great news, good to see the Falco on the list - hope it comes with Hungarian and Swedish decals. And is hopefully followed by the Re2001 and Re2002, the Re2005 is available from PCM. As to the rest these are the ones that still float my boat and I would buy them at a reasonable price, not everyone's cup of tea but then again life would be ever so boring if we all liked the same things. 7) 1:32 Yak 9 10) 1:32 PZL P.11 - in progress 11) 1:32 La 5 12) 1:32 Fokker DXXI 13) 1:32 American T-6 Texan Cheers Dennis Edited March 25, 2013 by dennismcc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thats great news for La 5! I would pre order one now if I could! I would drop the T-6 Texan from your list as there is one coming in Plastic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) It's a great list that will make a lot of people happy, but I was sad to see the P.11c move down the list to #10. I will be patient though, at least it is in progress and maybe the delay is for injection molding... I will likely buy three of those to start. Of the others, the Jak 9 is next for me. I will buy more than one depending on the version D, M, P or U. The rest are interesting, but not subjects that will attract me to buy. That of course is just me. I think the Bulldog will do well for you ( I might buy that one ). The Stearman and the LA 5 are great choices for plastic kits if you can do it, they will sell. I think the Texan would be a bestseller, and I would keep that one in mind anyway. It depends on who the other company was that announced they are doing a 1/32 kit. If it's Hobbycraft then I wouldn't worry, that has been on their list for years and they seem to have stumbled as a business. Just some thoughts from one person...
