Out2gtcha Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Man the HC Spad is not really a great kit, and is becoming more scarce as time goes on. Id love LOVE to have a new tool Spad done up in Guynemer's colors. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Funny that. I have a spad in the stash, it it looks like a model that just wants some time, and a bit of modeling skill, both of which I lack. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Feh... I’m still trying to get my arms around the fact that we’ve got a plethora of obscure WW1 kits that most modelers have zero interest in and yet not a single manufacturer seems interested in a new tool F-86 Saber.

Pretty safe bet in light of the fact that we presently have the Nieuport 17 from Copper State out now, soon to be followed by their type 21, 23 and other variants of the 17 to boot.

LSP_Mike Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 John, the simple answer is for you to buff out the Hase kit, then, we would get one. John1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I bet we will get the 504K sooner or later, same with the SPAD; if not WNW then CSM. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Keep.in mind companies are already working on the kits that will be released between now and 2024-2025! If WnW keeps more or less the same pace of releases, this means that notwithstanding variants of existing kits (and releases from new players in the WW1 kits arena) at least a dozen of new topics will be kitted. Time will tell but I'm ready to bet my shirt that the 504 is among them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Italeri-Kinetic produce a regular F-86 Sabre? Why did it disappear so quickly? Where can I find a new one?

As it is obvious that 'popularity' has nothing to do with the most produced aircraft, apparently it's more in the direction of the producers own favorite... The three Avro 504, SPAD XIII and the B.e.2c seems to fall into the 'popular' category for many of you, although not German. What I do not get is the 'Jenny' and the DH.4. none of you have commented on these. One would guess that these mostly 'American' subjects would be a predictable success on the large US market?

Kent Iconic a/c such as Spads are always popular. Training a/c with no guns and lots of rigging (and higher price point) have less appeal IMO. Just how it is. Although unpredictable, kit companies can estimate how a kit will go in the market. Some people like subjects like Be’s, but most like Camels and Albatros’ with twin mg’s, interesting profiles and markings. (Or less rigging - Fokker dvii, Hansa Brandenburg etc) Edited December 5, 2019 by Pup7309 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensar Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Maybe I'm just impatient, but I have gotten past this question by scratchbuilding what I want. This one is obscure, Fokker V.23 prototype.
