Kotare 1/32 Spitfire Mk.Ia (Mid), with Mk.I (Early) and Mk.Va announced

[John Stambaugh]

Just saw the recent newsletter from Kotare models on their upcoming Spitfire mk1. Richard is looking for a release date of August 15th. (Adlertag). CAD shots look fantastic!

 Finally a modern Mk 1.

With Zoukei mura, Revell, Italeri, and now Kotare bringing new kits my must have list will be growing. Yippie!

That's great to hear John - I'm really looking forward to these!

still wish they would put an engine in it,its a bit like a Ferrari car kit with no motor.

[Royboy]

An early and late mark Hurricanes to go with it would also be very welcome too! 

[Chek]

I'm glad they haven't put an engine in it.

Personal taste and all that, but the thought of building not just one but two Merlins in the Tamiya Mosquito is a real turn off for me.

If someone came up with a resin insert to fix the cowling cover panels to I'd be all over it.

Gentlemen, it appears that I misquoted Richard @ Kotare models. The newsletter states that the release date is "later this year". 2022

I apologize for my confusion. 

As for the PM where I am accused of being a liar; please, a little more tact next time. 

 Happy modeling, John

Indeed people, there was NO need for that what-so-ever.  If you have an issue with something that someone has said on the forums, please use some tact, discretion and some benefit of the doubt. We are all here for the same reasons, and that is to have some fun and do a bit of modeling, so there is no need or warrant for engaging someone like that. The facts bare out that most of the time its what it always is: as misunderstanding or a simple mistake that we all make sometimes.

I'm appalled you received such a pm John, if someone has a problem with a post it can be reported to the staff, we can all make simple mistakes, it's what makes us human, but how we deal with them is what makes us humane, or not.

[John Stambaugh]

Thanks guys, as for me I will will try to be more careful in what I post. 

 As for Kotare, ZM, Revell, and all the great kit makers bringing new offerings I say; you will be hearing from my bank account.

Mate,

 

Thanks for letting us know any info that you get, I’m more than happy to get an update even of those details change!

As for people calling you a liar, they can, in the Antipodian  vernacular, go and get stuffed!

Hi John,

 

I’m sorry that happened to you. Times must be tough at the troll farms. Hopefully they’ve been put in the cooler.

 

Cheers,

Adam

I just merged these two topics, since they both cover the exact same thing.
