The profits can be used to launch a company devoted to the production of aircraft in 1/32 scale... Well, after I make a zillion dollars when my novels are made into movies and/or TV shows I can start producing WW1 era kits in 1/32 scale. Pipe dreams are my favorite hobby.

ssculptor Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Y'know, it just occurred to me that if worst comes to worst I can always go back to the way I made models back in the1940's. Back then I started with blocks of balsa and carved the parts with a sharp knife and sanding sticks. Or stick and tissue. I am not in love with plastic, y'know.

A-3 Skywarrior?? In 1/32?? I'd be more than delighted if such a kit ever comes but manufacturers are not interested in such big kits anymore, so it seems.

Pup7309 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Also Kotare hasn't said specifically they will be exclusively 1-32 So you might see something larger in size ( Jets, bombers) in a smaller scale. And will they just do aircraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdthoresen Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 As a side note, the Australian model podcast “On the Bench” has an interview with Richard Alexander, the head of Kotare, and their early plans as to what their direction will be. A good interview, but as always, Richard is a bit evasive as to what subjects are in the pipeline, just like when he was with Wingnut Wings! It is the episode from September 18th…..

Tony T Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I'd love a new tool Griffon Spitty within my lifetime. Whatever happened to the PCM Mk.XIVc moulds? Somebody mentioned Special Hobby at one time. Have both "modern" Revells with some extra bits but they're going to need a tube of filler and a couple of sheets of very fine emery paper. Will be nice to replace them with a Kotare and Tamiya, respectively — oh, the pitfalls of consumerism!

Special Hobby only made the very first PCM kits (typically the Macchis). BR Thierry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just been on a spit build-fest, including 3 of the modern Revell 2x MK IX and the MkII), the fit was perfect, no gaps and no filler needed on any of them. Also did the hobbyboss MK V, again great build with no gaps. LSP_K2 and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Indeed, I agree: some stupid accuracy shortcuts, flash as well as molding marks and blemishes but no major assembly issue. npb748r 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who owns the tooling and whether or not it'll all be left to rust!? 2 hours ago, npb748r said: I've just been on a spit build-fest, including 3 of the modern Revell 2x MK IX and the MkII), the fit was perfect, no gaps and no filler needed on any of them. Also did the hobbyboss MK V, again great build with no gaps. I was referring to the pockmarks which all need puttying. I might give the IIa a go in January as I have new radiator and rotol spinner parts, plus HGW harness and Xtradecals. Nice to know it fits well, though I recall the wing needing some adjustment to dihedral. Trouble is, I'll then need a Hawker Hurricane to go with it.
