LSP_Kevin Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Not really surprised by that, but I'm glad to know that they won't be lost for good, and that we'll likely see them in kit from again eventually (maybe even soon, as you say Glen).

Dennis7423 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I'm actually quite excited about this. Using Trumpeter's plastic, which is more rigid than Kittyhawk's was, might solve some of the warp and fit issues that plagued some of their kits. Here's to hoping they release the entire range, which, knowing Trumpeter and what we've seen from them, is exactly what they'll do. We'll get worse decals, of course :-p - Dennis S.

easixpedro Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Wonder if that includes stuff supposedly in development? While I loved their 1/48th UH-1D, would love a larger scale one (I know it was all rumors). With the current conflict in Ukraine, doubtful that we'll see anything from ICM either. Otherwise my old 1/32 Huey sits in the build pile silently waiting to be restarted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Great news. I asked about this here a few weeks back. I guess those "collectors prices" might come down a little now. daveculp and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about that 'soon': when Trumpeter purchased Tristar moulds, it took them a couple of years to put the first kits into production.

Daniel Iscold Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Hope to see the Kingfisher back on the shelves... I think this was a KH best seller due the disaperance of this model from the market. firefly7, scvrobeson and D.B. Andrus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Oh that's great news. Hope that includes the 1/32 Mirage 2000C and Sabre Dog kits. Assuming same art on Trumpy boxes and decals. Might encourage derivative versions with some new extra parts. And what's Mr Song doing? Wonder if that hoped-for Sepecat Jaguar will ever emerge?

I for one was very bummed when I heard they shut down as the next H-60 model to be released was supposed to have been a MH-60M. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim What is wrong with the Academy 1/35 Huey series? Sorry if that's a dumb question, I am not a big follower of Helicomtomiter kits but I do have on Academy one and it seems nice.
