I think they will find they have hit a big a vein of gold with both the Val AND the Kate!! 

They now need some more big hitters to encourage them some more!!

I hope they carry on with doing more great subjects like thesell

Well, if they keep coming out withww2 Japanese stuff they'll have hit a vein of gold with me. I'm still waiting somewhat patiently for mine to arrive

I agree on the Japanese subjects.  Also am hoping for a Lagg series, and Lavochkin series. My fingers are still crossed.

Yes! Those would be definitely be welcome on my selves, Seems as though Japanese , Italian and Russian WW2 stuff takes a "back seat" to other stuff , maybe we'll see an interest increase in the future. ICM and Italeri are getting into the mix with their offerings. Who said the hobby is dying, yeah ,right!

I received my Val this Friday, no shipping notice in advance. So they obviously sent without notifying their customers. However, they added an advertisement sheet that features their upcoming Kate. A good sign that we will see this one released despite Infinity’s decision to drop producing plastic kits, I think.

That would be music to my ears! Bring on the Kate and perhaps they'll have a change of heart. Still awaiting the Val. Tp anybody that got theirs already , how's it look?

Maybe sales of the Val is going well?

It would seem so judging by the responses on this forum ,though I understand that we are but a small group in the general scheme of things. Then again we may have more influence than we think. Just blue skying here.

Can’t talk until we see some of ‘em built.

Hello
Don't expect too much to see Infiniti or HpH make Russian planes. I had discussed it with the boss of HpH during an expo, I had asked him if he intended to decline his Il-28 to the 32nd. He told me that Russian planes were selling badly and that he no longer intended to produce them. In fact nothing since the MiG-15. Too bad a beautiful Mig-17 would be welcome

Actually, they also released the Soviet La-7 WW2 fighter.

The Revell offering is really not bad . . .

If people don't want to buy Russian subjects - even those made elsewhere - it gives you an idea of how badly the Russian economy must be doing.

Good news: I ordered a second kit from Sprue Bros last week, which was delivered yesterday. 

 

Bad news: it was delivered to my Houston address, and I am in Livingston (approx 70 miles away) until Friday.
