MikeMaben Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 They announced a schedule of 190s , some of which would be 'Basic' without all the interior parts about 2 years ago. ZM's schedule : Fw190A-3 Basic Fw190A-4 SWS Fw190A-5/6/7 Basic Fw190A-8 SWS Fw190D-9 SWS Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 I think it was over two years ago they announced the Fw 190 line, they also have the Ar 234, and P-51B/C to come, maybe the Ki 100 announcement was tied into their 10th anniversary with it being a Japanese subject.

nmayhew Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 good news, and a bit out of the blue (although I don't pay much attention to the OMB) but given how long the Fw190 is taking...I won't be holding my breath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Great news! I JUST found this.............. Im defintiely in, and would love to do the RAFs Ki-100b from the late 60s based out of Gaydon. It was very "Ki-61-ish" Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Just I know why I didn't bid for the Alley Cat conversion that appeared last year at ebay... (160 euro, FYI) Regards - dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mywifehatesmodels Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I'm hoping for a razorback, as well. This is still good news, however. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Pays yer money and takes yer choice. Probably works out at 30p a part knowing how they stuff the box out. Still good value for money I think. Edited March 29, 2022 by Royboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John As several have talked about a Razorback version... how hard would it be to graft the front end of this thing onto a Hasegawa Ki-61? I know the belly pan was different, but the cockpit and rear fuselage were roughly the same, correct? - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornton, CO USA Alas this is not so simple as the plane had a fuselage fairing behind the nose. So only the area behind the wing leading edge was identical. It is probably easier to mate the spine and canopy of the Razorback on the Bubbletop. Dennis7423 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 There are differences between cockpits in the Ki-61-1 and the Ki-100-1. They are similar but not enough so that anybody that had any knowledge between the two wouldn't immediately know. Dennis7423 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
