Tony T Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 I'd be up for a bunch of stuff by Infinity that hasn't seen 1/32 tooling or, like the Beaufighter, deserves modern tooling. Am also intrigued by the HpH SR-71 — that could really be a real beauty. Tony Out2gtcha and adameliclem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 1/32nd is the perfect scale for a Vampire, as I recall standing beside a well delaminating fuselage pod and thinking it a bit small for 1/48. And I really would like to see a big Wyvern beside a Bucc and an FG1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Oh my word a Vampire and a Beau!! Modelling dreams do come true. Now wasn't there talk of a Ventura or Hudson once?? Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Val is the only aircraft on that list that has any real appeal to me at all. If they do it right, and for a reasonable cost, I'll probably have to have one. I've had a real "thing" for Pearl Harbor attackers here of late, and the Val would make a great subject for me to pursue.

That's been my dream build for years, Tony. I remember how amazed I was when I saw Mike Young's 1/32 scratch-built SR-71 at the National Air and Space Museum.

Steve Eagle Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Of course, the best way to get a kit produced is to finish a vac. I did this with the Wyvern. Lee White 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I'm afraid of the possible price of a large scale SR-71 when I see the price of the C-47... adameliclem and Anthony in NZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thierry, it seems that the Infinity brand kits will be plastic, not resin as in the HPH C-47. A Blackbird would be expensive, but there's not much of an interior to replicate and, if they updated the approach Testors took to its 1/48 Blackbirds, they could kit both an SR-71A/B and a YF-12A. If Infinity can keep the cost down to somewhere in the middle of the 1/32 heavy bomber range and do the Blackbird justice, I will quit smoking.

Adam Adam, according to Heinz' post on Britmodeller, with SR-71 will be one of their final resin products: Quote There will be no more new resin kits from HpH except some large model projects like the Me-323 Gigant and maybe SR-71 in 1/32.

Dpgsbody55 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Hadn't read this one until now. Great news, and I look forward to seeing the Vampire released. I want one as a companion to my Meteors. I'd also love to have a crack at the Beaufighter when it's released. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
