Kagemusha Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I think it's great that they produce a mix of popular and more obscure subjects, Mr Shigeta has said the next release would be the P-51B/C, and an accurate kit of which is sorely required.

I fully concur on that. I appreciate that many will yawn with 'another Fw190' but they are are made by manufacturers because they sell and provide the cash cows for more obscure subjects which sell slower. Am I delighted that Z-M are doing the Bf-109 and Fw190? Yes. Will I be equally delighted if they produce something more obscure because their Bf-109 and Fw190 sales paid for the development of it? Absolutely. They have trod that line well I feel. Because they have been willing to produce 'cash cows' we got to see a beautifully tooled kit of the Ho229 (something I never thought I would see in my lifetime).

Troy Molitor Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Dear Mr. Shigeta-san, Please, please do justice to a P-51B/C. I'm all in with the BF-109G and early FW-190's! I'm also still waiting for the Hs 129 variations to come out. Troy Ryan, D Bellis, Archimedes and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 +1 I have more than a few decal/marking options. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I just wish they had started with a 109F instead of a G. There are lots of G's out there, few F's and I consider the F the pinnacle of the 109 as a dogfighter. Everything got heavier after that.

Neo Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 The fw190 looks amazing and is a must get. I'm not a huge 109 fan but it looks good Tbh the one and only announcement im really looking forward to is the hs 129 big gun Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hworth18 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I was under the impression that ZM was working on an updated Fw190D series? Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although to some extent I wish Tamiya will challenge ZM on those same subjects in 32nd. D Bellis and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I too would love to see a good P-51B or C, but I'm also very happy that a new and detailed 109 and 190 are on the way. I just hope it's soon. I get why ZM offer models as they do, with so much of the interior to be built. It's all about seeing beneath the surface and what makes it the plane it was. I like that. Both will be purchased by me both because of the detail in the kit, and because my stash is a bit light in stocks of WW2 Axis planes. But I'll also be buying a P-51B or C, as I'm not big on the later Mustang models, from a modelling perspective.

They did announce a D-9 as part of the series, hopefully they will complete the range with a D-11 and D-13. Martinnfb and hworth18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool to see, although both kits are really entering into very crowded markets. Matt No worries, these will easily “elbow” their way into my already crowded hobby room Martinnfb, scvrobeson and D.B.

HB252 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I Hope the kit prices are below 50€, if not, there is Revell for FW and Trumpeter for BF Martinnfb, nmayhew and D Bellis 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
