I'm definitely going for earth and green as I'm a suckered for the early two tone lower wing! Regards.

tomp. Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Well, I must say it looks like it was worth the wait. I have both CA kits in the works and there is no comparison, the quality of Special Hobby keeps improving with every release. I’m a big fan. npb748r and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I'd definitely be hoping for Dieppe markings, maybe someone like Jennings or Roy Sutherland would be down for making them. Although I guess with all of the new plotters out there, cutting masks wouldn't be too tough. Matt npb748r, Uncarina and brewerjerry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdLSP Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 On the plans, I noticed that on page 12, CMK already is offering 4 different AM pieces, since they are joined at the hip with SH-I doubt that that we will see a HI-Tech version. I contacted EDUARD about them doing a Color-PE, KOOKplus or 3-d Decal for the Instrument panel, they were non-commital saying they would look into it if sales of the kit were good and there was enough "demand". ( They did do one in 1/48 for the vac/CA/Trumpeter kits in 1998 but sales were poor and that PE (FE710) is no longer avaialbe. SO, if anyone else is interested in those AM parts, take the time to contact EDUARD and MASTER-MODEL.PL (for brass gun barrels) and lets create that "demand".

CMK is a Special Hobby brand - they own it. The resin they include in their 'hi-tech' kits will be marketed as CMK if they make them available separately too. This is precisely what the did with their Tempest kits. Kev LSP_K2, Trak-Tor, MikeMaben and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
