Grant_T Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I'm hearing a Victor. But that might just be the voices in my head. Royboy, Sepp and Gazzas 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 My completely uneducated guess is that it’s not going to a large 4 engined bomber in the same vein as their B-17 or Lanc. If it’s a twin engine, I see it as twin fighter as opposed to twin bomber. That would be keeping with the simple scheme as you wouldn’t have to deal with a full fuselage interior, bomb bay, or turrets. I wouldn’t mind seeing a P-38 series, preferably the early F/G/H versions like the 1/48 Tamiya kit. Out2gtcha and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul2660 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Would love a 110 G4. But not holding my breath. love all their stuff so whatever it is I am sure it will be a nice kit. paul C chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Personally, from the descriptions of what it might be, and what it probably isn't, along with my recent experience with a recent HKM kit, I'm likely to buy it.......this seems kinda fun to me, even if it is our own doing. But then again, I enjoy a bit of a guessing game. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 If they were gonna stick with their twin-engined gig, I reckon they'd need two things: A researchable aircraft... that they can find real factory drawings of, or an existing example they can measure. Cuz we know every rivet and panel line will be counted and scrutinized. From what I've read, that leaves the Dornier Do 17 out. And would they bother to tackle a subject like the Me-110 that has conversion sets already on the market? Has anybody done an A-20 yet? A plane that was everywhere, and yet not very famous. Still sticking with P-38 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Think HpH is doing a resin A-20, but it’s the later J version with the dorsal turret. Personally, I’d prefer the earlier A-20B/C or Boston versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 If it is a twin and they want to rely on correct existing information, this is indeed probably a Beaufighter or Me110G as both will be good sellers. With regard to the availability of the AIMS conversions, we should keep in mind the development of such a kit is asking for some years whereas the resin set is quite recent.

I still recall all the "im gonna pass on the HK kit and wait for the other to come out...." comments here and elsewhere - had to be pretty big kick in the nether regions to hear that after investing much time and effort into a new release.... Honestly they can't win either way and are just probably a little gun shy to announce too early ...and look what happened when everyone waited for that Lancaster to appear....Oh wait a minute it didn't and now those of us mad enough to build 1/32 heavies will want the HKM one that we can actually buy. Thank you Neil for getting that one out of the door and I hope you have made a tidy profit from it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have a predilection with WWII twins so my parlour game guesses are: C47/DC-3 - Unlikely Me110 G4 - desirable (but researchable?) Me210 or 410 of any type? Outside chance - again researchable? Beaufighter - front runner B26 - apparently not Wellington - curve ball choice and yes I'd be happy with any and all of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radub Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 They are announcing a what? What were they thinking? Whatever this is, I am so disappointed. When are we going to get a kit of that model that everyone has avoided so far because it is unsaleable and I won't buy anyway because it is not the version I want and, anyway, Ken from the internet said it has a flaw that may not even be real?
