spreckair Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I hope that they stick to subjects that have never been produced in 1/32. It would be nice to see the Japanese naval attack aircraft in 1/32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I'd like to see them do a rex conversion for the Revell kit; a Rufe conversion would be fine too for the Tamiya kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beaching doodar is fragile but it's a nice little collection of bits. (IIRC Out2gtcha rebuilt some of his Rufe's trolley in brass, and I might use thin steel sewing needles in lieu of rigging, for that enduring confidence - overscale, but nothing's going to snap, rust, or render me blind). ICM have got a winning streak but they certainly seem to be giving Aerocraft Ali a bit of trade. I always havelikened ICM to Hasegawa or Tamiya moulding finesse combined with Trumpeter plastic — you need Ali's brass bits for a confident build.

Out2gtcha Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Yeah, the MDC main float is solid resin, and while it helps to give the finished model some heft, it does nothing for the OOB resin beaching trolley. Troy Molitor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Cloud Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I'd love to see a new series of Allison Mustangs, the Hobbycraft kits are nothing to write home about and out of production. At least a Mk.I since it's never been done in 1/32 (or 1/48 I think). Someone mentioned a P-51B, I'll take one of these too and I wouldn't mind new P-47D's.

MikeC Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Here's another I've just thought of that fits in very well with biplane fighters of the 1930s-40s; the Czechoslovak equivalent to the Gladiator: the Avia B.534. Some may say it's a relatively obscure aircraft, but it was a lovely-looking machine, especially the open-cockpit variants, and it did serve with the Luftwaffe, and a few other air arms, as well as the pre-March-1939 Czechoslovak Air Force. <Edit> It does also have a unique claim to fame: a IV serie. version, flying for the Slovak insurgents, shot down a Hungarian Ju 52 in September 1944, thus achieving the last ever air-to-air kill by a single-engined biplane. Sadly, the pilot, one Frantisek Cyprich, received a dressing-down rather than congratulations: his CO told him that he should have forced the aircraft down, so it could be captured and used. http://surfcity.kund.dalnet.se/slovakia_cyprich.htm Edited September 13, 2020 by MikeC Dany Boy, R Palimaka and Pup7309 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mission was flown by 178 B-24 Liberators, which crew report by the radio that planes from WWI attacking them.

It was absolutely beautiful, and looked properly like it was spanning the old days and the modern era. +1 I held off on a chance to buy the HPH kit because I'm hoping ICM will do one.
