Yes - check out James Fahey's review of Brian Fawcett's resin pup gnome cowl here on LSP - it's a beautiful item, looks like I won't be needing the two in my stash LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I held off buying this little detail, although I did get one on Ebay when I bought a Pup some time ago that contained the cowl with it. I guess I always believed, rightly as it turned out, that WNW would eventually do this version of the Pup. BTW, the one thing Brian Fawcett did that I believe was really nice and necessary was the Se.5a replacement tail and rudder that has the rib tape on it that WNW left off for some unknown reason.

Yep, I have the old Tomy kit which has nice engraved surfaces. It was motorized so unless they have a new cockpit you'll need an AM cockpit. There's a pilot head and shoulders but that's it.

And for the more advanced modelers, they brought out a new engraving tool so you can bring out the most detail in your project." You can buy - separately - an engraving tool for the Zero kit?! There are so many Zero's out there, and this one costs £35 before VAT. Who on earth would buy one? These look interesting: Could be a concept that works well in 1/32? Quite shocked at the number of plastic models of armed young women in short dresses. Definitely a Japanese thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s just the announcement of an unrelated new product, but HLJ’s wording and positioning of the sentence immediately after the sentence about the Zero kit makes it looks like it’s related, when it actually isn’t.

Dave Williams Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 BTW, where is the WNW announcement that they are reissuing the Pup? Hopefully they will reissue the RNAS sprue in the new boxing as that version is rarer than the RAF Pup boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seiran01 Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 The box art for the new Pup release is right there in that photo...

ringleheim Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 It looks like the only aircraft kit Tamiya is showing at the show is the 1/72 Bf-109G6. Seems like a down show this year all around, but I will still anxiously wait for HLJ to publish their show report videos, which I always enjoy.
