Tony T Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Rummaging through various internet sources the following "new" 1/32 Chinese kits are in the catalogue: Hobby Boss: A-26B & A-26C Invaders as predicted. Trumpeter: P-40N Warhawk, the perennial Devastator, but the hoped-for F-100F seems to have gone and the regular, non Thunderbirds, F-100D replaced by an F-100C. Lightnings are still there. They could do with a repop. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they'll think it's worth a re-tool? Prime territory for HB or even Revell to give it a go! Dreaming. wunwinglow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 A Shermy done right, yes. Now, which one of the 2357 variations? At this point I'd rather see ICM do the Devestator. Bound to be better, and a yellow wings bird would be eye catching. Royboy and Dennis7423 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime territory for HB or even Revell to give it a go! Dreaming. Anyone, really. Revell would be great for an E E Lightning, but it looks like the Arado 196 A-3 twin floater is going to get re-popped. We'll have to wait till January for news of any new variants (Bf 109 G-2 or -4, later Block P-51D etc etc) as it's very unlikely there will be a new tool from Germany. Sad that Trumpy's dumped the F-100F in favour of a minimum change F-100C, but maybe Paul Fisher can give the two-seat Hun a go (?) Yeah, there's loads of creep crawly target stuff, especially 1/35th Soviet era stuff that used to appear on May Day parades. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Ampersand son of Sherman book, I think there might be a lot more versions than 2357. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine you're already aware, Mike, but Tamiya did the Sherman (along with several other tanks) in 1:16 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 At this point, I think Trumpeter is just trolling by keeping the Devastator in the catalog, and we’ll never actually see it. Dropping the F-100F is a big disappointment. Royboy and jgrease 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The changes are not really lighter as they will have to change the fuselage (for the tail) and the wings. So... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not checked the differences between these, but it might just be the new fin and decals trick. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
