When is the next big show in Japan where they would announce something? Starts 11 May... http://www.nihon-kankou.or.jp.e.wp.hp.transer.com/detail/22100ba2212059968 Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Addendum: those are the free public days. The trade element of Shizuoka starts earlier, so maybe we'll know what's new a few days earlier. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis252 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I'd sure settle for a F-16D, which can be done with 2 sprues and a P-51B. Just that simple. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Aside from my Huey fetish, I’ll table an F-86 or an F6F series. Either should be within T’s comfort zone and in theory, should have pretty broad appeal, especially the -86. williamj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I’d expect that to be their next release before an all new tool kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B. Andrus Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I've heard their next 1/32 kit will be the Bf 109G, however no date as to release. Not at liberty to name source, but has proven reliable. We'll see. williamj and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 109F is not one that has been offered much, especially in 1/32. The Friedrich represented the 109 series at it's peak, too.

Often difficult to find the Hasegawa F and the Trumpeter is not a F at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at liberty to name source, but has proven reliable. We'll see. I am not advocating for a 109G, but this is just what makes the most sense to me, especially when you look at the 1/48 kit and the timing of the 1/72 kit. There is something about it, the pattern and the fact that they have not done a German WWII prop in 1/32 that makes me feel this is the one. williamj and rafju 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make that a B/PR IV kit and I'll be very happy. 3 hours ago, wunwinglow said: Spitfire XIV/PRXIX But happier still with either of these. An FR 18 option in the XIV would be even better. Don't want much, do I? wunwinglow and Fanes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the fact that there are thousands of interesting and colorful markings options available. I would just hope that they would include the "late" G-6 bits in this kit (Erla canopy, tall tail, tall tailwheel strut, etc) and not just do the earlier version and leave us hanging for a few years (or forever). I swore off 109's after my battle with the Revel G-6 but if T does this, I'll be all in. Out2gtcha and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pup7309 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Sounds like it will be a 109. An Fw190 might be nice but looks like ZM has it covered...How about a B24 Edited March 17, 2019 by Pup7309 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
