seiran01 4,693 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 It dawned on me today that the Luftwaffe fans probably couldn't be much happier right now - with the new he219's, revell 109, and announced kits for the me410 (HPH in resin), HK's Do-335, and Fly's Ar-234 and Meng's Me-163, both of which will probably offer much greater value than the existing kits from MDC and Hasegawa. All we need is a Horton 229 (and...?) and we've pretty much got the whole set of aircraft that flew in the mid-late war time frame. Ok so the 229 didn't see combat but nevertheless... Now, I'm not a huge Luftwaffe addict, but that's an impressive lineup in a relatively short time! Link to post Share on other sites

Rog As well as an injected molded Hs 129 and I could really dream and ask for a Fw 190 V1, as well. I agree that this is great. Not just for the Luftwaffe fans, but for 1/32 lovers, all around. The kits that have come out/are coming out in the last five years and in the near future are more than I thought I would ever see.

Learstang 179 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Would that the same could be said for Soviet VVS aircraft. I mean is an injection-moulded La-7 in 1/32nd scale asking too much? Evidently. Well, at least we have the I-153 now, even if only in resin. Don't get me wrong - Luftwaffe aircraft were my first love and I'm definitely going to be picking up an He-219, and I'd love to see an injection-moulded Hs-129 also (actually, an Hs-126 would be nice too - I'm not holding my breath on this one, though).

Guest Martinnfb Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 This is a never-ending topic, yes we are in need. Need to get more toys, and sure we are willing to pay the price. and Horten in 32nd scale is on my bucket list for sure M. Link to post Share on other sites
Out2gtcha 35,938 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Oh MAN Id LOVE, LOVE a 229 in king scale! Really would be something to behold.............. Daywalker 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Erwin 1,992 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 You can be pro or contra German planes. It's just the fact that they were way ahead in the design that makes them so wanted. Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Jason Да, это правда!!! The most common VVS aircraft have never really been modeled in 1/32 in any meaningful way, like the La-5 or -7. I have the 153 kit....looks great, but resin it is. No Yak-1...No Yak-3....No Yak-9 or LaGG series, either. Harrumph! That said, I would love a Do-17 or a 126/129.... Tim W. Learstang 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Kagemusha 9,419 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Yeah, I really want a Fw 189 too. Link to post Share on other sites
seiran01 4,693 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 BV-141 would be pretty cool to have, especially that giant angled glass nose sitting next to a -189 Link to post Share on other sites
Learstang 179 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I agree, an Fw-189 would be pretty cool. It'd need a really nice cockpit though, with that fish tank of a central nacelle. The AM people would have a field day with that one! Regards, Jason Link to post Share on other sites
scvrobeson 3,480 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 It's just the fact that they were way ahead in the design that makes them so wanted. Yes and no on the design front. The Me-109 was pretty outdated by 1943, and even the Fw-190 hit snags of being behind the pace of technology. I think part of it is the cool camo schemes you can put on German aircraft. OD/Neutral Grey is pretty boring after awhile, but a bunch of different colors mottled on looks pretty cool. And I think part of it is to build models from the major players, and Germany can be seen as the main antagonist. Plus, throw in that Revell is from Germany already, it just makes sense that they would do kits of their country's aircraft. Matt Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas Lund 1,831 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Loads of good suggestions here. Do-17Z and Fw-189 I agree, but I'd rather have some russian planes, very overlooked I agree. La-5FN, yaks etc etc Learstang and Daywalker 2 Link to post Share on other sites
