KiwiZac Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Very slightly O/T but I just wanted to say that in the following film we learn Sir Peter Jackson uses the word "kitset" to describe a scale model aeroplane assembly package Edited November 9, 2021 by KiwiZac LSP_Matt, Panzerwomble, MikeMaben and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Back in the world of Spitfires, I think it would be great if Kotare would offer the option of the very early flat canopy together with a Watts two blade prop. They could also offer the option of the different three blade props that early Spitfire Mk1's came with - variable pitch (with the correct operating plunger/knob in the cockpit, please) or De Havilland or Rotol constant speed prop. How hard can it be??? Cheers, Michael MikeC and monthebiff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Michael I seem to recall them saying that they "probably wouldn't be able to stop at one"; so one can draw one's own conclusions, but an early Mk I would seem like a quick win - and would be s-o-o-o-o welcome.

I hope you're right. It seems so obvious, yet no one has done it yet. The really early planes would only need two extra parts.

vince14 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 One other point I took from their Livestream was that they were going to produce kits of aircraft they loved. It felt a little like Richard Alexander (despite the excellent work he'd done for WNW) isn't a WWI fan, so I think we need to look elsewhere for WWI aircraft in 1/32. They didn't rule WWI out, but it certainly wasn't a priority - thank goodness for CSM! I suspect we'll see a range of BoB types coming from them in future.

John1 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Why the separate spine? Did the Mk1 have different profiles? Hopefully they nail this part and it fits ala Tamiya. Edited November 14, 2021 by John1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Hmm... As long as the fit is good, that's a really nice touch. Edited November 14, 2021 by John1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZM is taking a similar approach with their FW-190. No seam on top, and if it’s done right it’ll simulate the distinctive joints produced where the upper panel overlaps the side panels on the rear fuselage. If it works.
