Fine, but why again 1:35?

That looks nice - more concerned with well made kits than scale....

Everyone to their own but I'll pass on this one.

I hope it is a big success - so somebody will make it in 1/32 as well

I'm still hoping that Infinity will finish and release theirs.

Speaking for myself, I would have bought this in a heartbeat were it 1/32 but I assume that sales of this 1/35 aircraft range have justified their decision for Border (unless) the 1/35 range is some Border Models executive's indulgence ala Peter Jackson at WNW - i.e. what they 'want' they 'get'...?

 

In my own modelling circle of friends and amongst club memberships (x2), I only know one LSP builder who has bought one of these 1/35 aircraft kits and even he says his 109, whilst a lovely kit which he enjoyed, looks 'odd' on a shelf alongside his 1/32 builds and so, he won't be buying any more.

 

Perhaps the AFV builders are dipping their toe into this scale with aircraft, or their good quality (as I understand them to be) attracts the more casual modeller..?

I have no ability to make a 1/32 of kate, but sure hope i had....this will look good in "larger" scale.

What should be a joyous event, turned into an abysmal dirge of whining.

Thanks for posting Mike - that looks good. That is a render not the plastic yet so it will be great to see the real thing. Though I'll pass on this release as I now have the Val and Zero in 1/32- it is good to see any LSP being put out there. I hope it is a big success for them.  For those who want to build in 1/35 I wonder are there any good photos with at least the Val and Kate on the same deck? I am not familiar with the detailed setup of the Kido Butai's distribution of aircraft across its carriers but someone is bound to know. 

 

Kind regards,

Paul

This is freaking awesome. I wish I were 20 years younger with all the cool aircraft coming out in 1/35th and 1/32nd.

 

Hopefully someone will release the Pearl Harbor wooden fins for the torpedo.

I'm not sure plastic aeroplane kit plans count as "joyous", whilst people commenting about the scale, on a scale model aeroplane discussion site, can hardly be construed as "whining"? There are always people with opinions that are wrong different to yours, but opinions are two a penny and can safely be ignored at a distance.

If the Border Lancaster prices are a yardstick, this will be an expensive kit in an unusual LSP scale. I'm still shocked Border are doing this in 1/35. I'm sure it will be a cracking kit, but the expected cost & scale rules me out. Yes, I'm an old fogy - at least when it comes to large scale plastic aeroplane kits.
