scott_t Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Couldn't resist ...... made a reservation for 1 copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Got my email as well. This kit will heal my teenager's frustration as I never succeeded finding the Revell kit at that time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbaldguy Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 These guys turn out some really nifty and exotic stuff. I do wish they’d tackle something like a nice LSP Vigilante or Whale or Banshee. I think they are far enough removed from those planes that they could do them justice, having no preconceived notions and all. In the meantime, I quietly await for the FH-1 shoe to drop.

Tnarg Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 X-Planes, Viggens and Drakens, what's not to like? Thank you very much, JETMADS. Tnarg Oldbaldguy, firefly7 and Violator1991 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violator1991 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Yes indeed, I too am very pleased with their existence and their product line. I'd prefer they come more often with the cold war era jets though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 When I made my reservation request, I asked about a CF-100. In their confirmation email to me, they said they'd love to do the Clunk but it would be at least a few years if/when they got to it.

mattcour Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 CF-100? That would be excellent, assuming we are talking about 1/32 scale but there is only one operator. Considering their choices of subjects however I'd say Jetmads is probably the only manufacturer that may be willing to dive into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetmads kits are a great value, but I have to be choosy with 1/32 scale. Gone are the days I could get everything that is released. A CF-100 would really be an interesting choice. There were twice as many CF-100 operators as you think and the other is closer than you imagine. https://www.belgian-wings.be/avro-cf100-canuck mattcour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I was not aware Belgium had flown them, maybe just because I saw the Cannuck wih RCAF markings all the time. Still not sure if that makes a big enough market.

Violator1991 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Number of operators is important naturally for a kit's market but is not everything. Viggen is a very good example for that. BloorwestSiR and Christoffer Lindelav 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Waiting for the Draken (and possibly the D-558-II pointy Skyrocket) but Infinity have suggested they're doing a J.35, one day, and I prefer plastic. The X-3 Stilletto is a fantastic subject but I'd probably impale myself during the modelling process, assuming I could make it without a wonky nose. Good that I've got some Tamiya F-4 one piece fuselages to whittle and rescribe. Keeps me out of mischief for hours. Tony MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 The Stiletto is such a glowing example of its time. Truly does look like something ripped from the pages of a sci-fi comic, maybe that's why it looks so cool. Will be cool to see how it looks as it gets closer.

Landrotten Highlander Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Bit the bullet and ordered 1 kit. Luckily I remembered to put in me old teeth, otherwise I would have to buy a new set (again, for the same reason) Edited July 8, 2022 by Landrotten Highlander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattcour Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 I had ordered one kit last week, a couple of days after the preorders started. Convincing myself that a 1/32 X-3 does not come everyday and it may be a good idea to keep one unbuilt in stash I placed an order for another today. There are 376 order numbers between my first order and today's one! They are really good at selecting subjects I think...
