Dpgsbody55 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Just got the weekly email from Hannants, plus a couple of extras, one of which is regarding future releases. Whenever I get these , I only check the LSP stuff, so in that vein, my first click was on the 1/24 scale releases. Alas, there's only one, and it's from Trumpeter who are not my favourite manufacturer, but it's the Mustang P-51B/C series. I'd love to get a high back Mustang on my workbench, so I'm hoping that this will be a much better effort than their 1/32 kit, which will forever reside on my shelf of doom. Clicking on the 1/32 scale products, I'm very delighted to see Infinity Models D/H Vampire Mk3 crack a mention here. This is one that won't stay in my stash long!! They also have am AICHI D3A Val listed Fly also have a couple of Saab J-29's coming up for release too, so if you like early jets or something a little different, these could be a goer. They also have a Rotachute MkIV listed, as well as a Westland Wessex, so could be interesting. There's also some re-releases listed, including a couple from ICM with their AH-1G Cobra and D/H Tiger Moth, Hasegawa with their A6M-5 Zero and Fieseler Storch, which is one I'd like to get, and also Special Hobby also putting out a repop of ICM's AH-1G Cobra, as well as their Hawker Tempests in both MkV and MkII Hi-Tech versions. I don't have the MkII, so this may well make it's way into my stash. Some of these already have prices listed, and some don't, so I guess we can see which are likely to be released first. However, it's good to see all of these listed as this means their release can't be that far off.

LSP_Kevin Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Of everything in that list, it's the J-29s that I'm looking forward to the most. Kev Jack, Rick Griewski, jgrease and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 J 29s huh?? Lovely..! What models? B for Congo, E and/or F with afterburners? (dog tooth wings on the Fs) I would not mind a recce bird too - or the D with ADEn/m55 AKANs on.. Where can I see more? As for the B/C pony - I am weird, I build mostly 48th scale - but some 32nd too.. Though I really do not wanna mix in 24th. I do not like mixing scales in the display cabinet. It is weird but I do not.. BUT - if it is good, I might reconsider.. I REALLY want a highback Mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince14 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Haven't the Fly J-29's been a 'Future Release' now for quite a long time? I thought Fly had gone under... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_C Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Fly still seems to have a working website: https://www.fly814.cz/ Tony T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for the Tunnan F for years, though if they don't come through I'm still hoping for a plastic Draken from somewhere. If I get desperate I'll do a commemorative Hawker Hunter in Swedish Acrobat markings. Tony Mark_C, Paramedic and Christoffer Lindelav 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndersN Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Fly showed some test shots of the 29 wings and there were complaints about the ailerons. "Tougher than we thought" or something and after that nothing. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coogrfan Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 A new tool P-51B (or one that at least corrects the worst of their 32nd scale versions flaws) will get my money. Paramedic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. But if they've just upscaled the crappy 1/32 effort, then for me, they've wasted a lot of plastic. The big one for me in Hannant's list is the De Havilland Vampire, which is one of my favourite early jets. I'll definitely have one of these, and more if they bring out other marques.

R Palimaka Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I don't think we'll be seeing a 1/24 P-51B/C from Trumpeter. That listing has been on Hannants site for several years now. Richard coogrfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
