Dave Williams Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Concerning the Raiden news, it’s not a case of them doing it as they’ve already done it. The kit was released nearly 10 years ago. The way I read the blog, they’re just telling you that it’s nearly sold out. esarmstrong, Rick Griewski and Tony T 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esarmstrong Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Also, don't forget the Ki-100 that they announced a couple of months ago. They already have a mock-up of the bubble-top version done.

Pity the low back in-line engine Ki-61 didn't make it into production (though I vaguely recall a very old Revell kit of the Ki-61-III) Tony esarmstrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Hasegawa does a very nice Ki 61 with a couple of boxings. LSP_K2, Model_Monkey and Kagemusha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a very fine kit, but they only did the three short nose Ki61-I versions. If you wanted the long nose Tei version, you needed the Wolfpack conversion, or other conversions if you wanted a Ki-100.

Darren Howie Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 ZM have completely underestimated the sales of the 109. It was out of stock in Osaka and Tokyo almost a month ago and zero restocks available until another run is done if that occurs. Ive never seen that with any SWS release with them all available well after release. If you see one grab it as they wont be around until ZM get either another run done if they even plan to or another version comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't get one for a while as I have a GW P-40 and some other projects, so I don't mind waiting a year. However I want to see ZM succeed. A runaway hit would be great for them.

They released a limited edition F-4EJ, which quickly sold out, wouldn't be surprised if another version is available in time for Telford. It's a gorgeous kit.
