Troy Molitor Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The picture above with the real 262 and that of the kit are taken at slightly different angles and giving a different perspective on the nacelles. Ever so slightly but a different look. Just compare the nose wheel face and you can see the slight variation. A coned sanding stick with a few good passes can make a lot of difference in a matter of seconds. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiya has done a 1/48 scale kit and probably has all the required drawings to create an 1/32 kit. Tamiya has lottsa 1/48 scale stuff we wish they'd just scale up .

They are a big picture toy company really with a heavy emphasis on plastic models. They seem to pick a few major projects a year spread across several subjects, for example a big RC project or two and one or two big plastic projects. But one might be a motorcycle and one might be a tank, then a plane or two. They never do all armor, all cars or all planes. They spread their work across different facets of modeling. So no getting 3 1/32 planes a year out of them will not happen. I hope we get one in the next three years. They might choose to do a 1/12 race car before they do another 1/32 plane. They might do a couple more 1/16 tanks who knows what they are going to do. There is no shortage of 1/32 planes though coming out so I am not worried. Yes, the R/C stuff is Priority #1, and by a long way. Or so it seems. Then you have the chemical/supplies end of their business, which also must be huge. The paints, glues, tools, all that stuff. They are a very stubborn company doing it "the old way" and I think that's a function of Shunsaku Tamiya's personal approach to doing things. I keep thinking the day will come when a younger generation takes over and maybe the company will move in a different direction. They are very stuck in their ways and slow to adapt.

What? There's an obscure dimensional problem with the Trumpeter kit that I wasn't aware of and didn't notice existed in the first place? The horror. The horror. zerosystem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2019 there will be VERY FEW new toolings from Revell -but some very interesting re-labeled kits (1/32nd DML Bf 110), re-releases (1/48 B-1B) and still hidden variants of already released kits. alaninaustria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s coming, but I’m sworn to secrecy on the release date. But don’t spend all the money you’re going to get in your Xmas stocking! Regards, Bruce Crosby, That is indeed exciting news. I somewhat expected that they would bring the A-1a since they already showed the single seater canopy when the B-1a/U1 was released, but you never now. I will certainly buy a couple of them. Thanks for sharing the news. Edited November 17, 2018 by VintageEagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 It's odd then that the A-1a kit didn't make the list of new releases coming from Revell in Q1 next year: http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/FirstLook/Hersteller_News/Revell_News_2019_I.html Perhaps that tells us that it won't be released until at least Q2.

Tony T Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I thought the Trumpeter 262 wing sweep was out by several degrees. The Revell two seat night-fighter is in the stash. Not sure I'll ever build it, but it's there. Built too many 1/72 ones back in the early 1970s. Might get an A-1a when it comes out. More likely to build two, side-by-side.

LSP_K2 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I too have built a number of 262's over the years, with this being the smallest of the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
