Jack Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 but wait a minute guys: didn't KH models had plans for the "H" version a while back? At least that's what comes to mind...... Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi AS I serioulsly doubt SW would even consider it. Good luck with your quest. AresShrike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AresShrike Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 yeah, Silver Wings, probably not, but HPM, now, that'd be Awesome!!! (I don't really see 300 pieces happening for Fisher Models either, Hopefully HPM will do it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AresShrike Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm sorry, correction, that's HPH models, not High Plains models. Big difference!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Well, I seriously doubt we will get one before long for various reasons: 1. The H still has the same global silhouette than a D Mustang 2. She was only used for some years 3. She never saw combat 4. All ANG markings look the same and were rather plain ones 5. The H was never exported out of the US Now, jump in the shoes of a manufacturer and take a business-based stance. Suddenly, this looks far less attractive! To me, if we wait for other Mustang marks, we should rather think about early marks or the twin-Mustang. Go back to my list of criterias and compare with the P-51H... As a comparison with another topic sharing my criterias, have a look at the number of resin Spitefuls and Seafangs sold up to now...: dozens! I believe the probability to get one is only linked to the fact one designer or manufacturer may love so much the plane that he would dare losing money! To me, this was unfortunately the case of the Hph Hornets and this is never good for a manufacturer...

AresShrike Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) HPH - "Comprehensive Model development for this category is 8000, - Euro. Then I can supply your kit under your brand for 125, - / pc." So, $9,279.26 for model development, then, 125 Euro each model thereafter. Considering HPH's amazing quality, and attention to detail, it's not a bad deal, BUT...…..well, at least the offer is out there now, for an exceedingly excellent (not like the Trumpeter P-51B) model, in 1/32, of the P-51H Mustang. (I imagine, that approximate $$ figure could be used for most any other "similar" aircraft too - Like the Spitfire Mk 21 ) Well, I'm gonna go see what I've got in my wallet...…..

AresShrike Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Now, admittedly, $9,000 sounds like a lot, but...….. If 45 people, pay $200 each, for the development model, then the 1/32 P-51H would be available, for $144.71 each. Not too bad, when you look at it that way. Now, where are my 45 friends!!?? (with $200 to spend) Maybe I should start a new "HPH 1/32 P-51H Mustang - Group Buy!!!" thread.

iaf-man Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I guess that F-82 is more likely to appeal to modelers Variety of markings and subtypes with a combat service And as I mentioned at Fisher forum-we already have the G exhausts+radar pod from Shapeways thierry laurent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I must admit that I find the H model to be the ugliest of the Mustangs. It lost a lot of the curvy lines and proportions of the earlier models, at least to my eye. It is however, a huge hole in the history of the airframe as far as kits, and would be a welcome addition to many, I'm sure. Bring it on!!

Jack Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Well....ugly is in the eye of the beholder, just an example: F4 Phantom...............wings straight, tips bent upwards, nose bent downwards, stabilizers cranked down as if about to fall off....and still a fantastic looking aircraft.........just saying.....

Indeed it is. I love the F4 for precisely the reasons you stated. Art is subjective, right? Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
