Steve Eagle Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Has Special Hobby announced anything about the Whirlwind or Typhoon lately? I haven’t seen anything myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 They seem to have dropped off the radar! Same thing with Fly? SAAB Tunnan anyone? So where are all of the projects that should have been with us two or three years ago? Perhaps they know something we don't???? scvrobeson, Tnarg, Jan_G and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_G Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 this was the latest new so far at the beginning of the May regarding the SH Whirlwind IIRC they were planning to have it ready for late 2019 jan Rick Griewski and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 The Italeri Tornado and Daco Magister also seem temporarily off the radar. Would love Special Hobby to do more kits like the X-15. The NASA lifting bodies would be great. Tony Tnarg, firefly7, Out2gtcha and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three years and counting for the Italeri Tornado is it? ...…………...could this be the new Trumpeter Devastator????!!!! I'm certainly not holding my breath for this model! Maybe 2025? timvkampen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love Special Hobby to do more kits like the X-15. The NASA lifting bodies would be great. Tony Can you imagine an X-20 in 1/32 or even 1/24? Match that Gemini kit from Revell with a "real plane" from space, even if it never got past the drawing boards. Those lifting bodies: M2F-2, HL-10 and X-24A and B cry out to be done in 1/32, as does a really fine X-3 and X-2. Those actually flew. Revell keeps putting out the X-1, but where are its brothers? Paul Fisher did a great deed for us with his X-1A/B kit, and we can only wish for the best for him as he recovers from that disaster and follows his passion. Don't get me started on how much I want those Saabs, but a 29 sounded so good. Hope Fly make that one. And to respect the start of the thread.... that Whirlwind is such a beautiful plane. It almost has the grace of the Spitfire. So many models, will we even build a fraction of them? It is just too much fun to dream.

They told me to expect that one for 2017 release back in 2015 at Telford?? Let's also not forget the mythical 1/32 WWII Westland Whirlwind too, now scheduled for 2019 I believe? Not holding breath on this one either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Well at least the Whirlwind will arrive as we saw the molds and CMK/Special Hobby is a well established company. So this is just a matter of time. Alburymodeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
