Richard What I meant was - they have not cancelled any of their announced projects so far. The Ouragan is still listed as one of their projects. I have no insight into what is done when or in what order. I agree it would be nice it they gave some more insight into their design and production plans and timelines. On the other hand they are far more open than most other companies in this hobby - what do I know - I just want them to finish the Draken next /Niels Tony T and JMcD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard I doubt they have ever announced and started the Ouragan project officially. "Future Release" sticker is tagged on it and also on some other projects too that they have listed since they one on their website. That is self-explanatory, as I take it.

Violator1991 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 King Air 200 is a very very good choice of a new project, this has long been ignored by any manufacturer! I hope it comes with some variants like the Guardrail etc and 350 series will follow. I just checked their entire timeline down to their first-ever announcement on Facebook in 2019. No Ouragan announcement. I noticed meanwhile that the Neptune announcement was made in February 2021. This has just officially started a couple of months ago so not a surprise an announced project kicks-off after 2+ years. I don't think they should be distracted by anything and nothing weird here that many projects are being developed at the same time with an overlapping schedule. I would agree that a clearer release schedule would be fine but then again we are on the consumer side and have very limited information as to what they plan business-wise. Having said that I am quite fond of their subject selection strategy, regardless of what comes when.

LSP_Kevin Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 In response to a question on Facebook about outstanding Viggen deliveries and the status of the Draken, Jetmads has this to say: Quote The deliveries of the Viggens are ongoing as planned now that you have asked...the Draken design is in progress.

It is a pity as this means no info release about various interesting planes and helicopters used by the IAF... iaf-man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattcour Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Jetmads replied to my email about the Ouragan and the Draken: Hello, Please be informed that any project tagged as Future Release displayed on our website is within our release plans and 1:32 M.D.450 Ouragan is certainly one of them. However, the Ouragan project has not yet been announced officially as the release schedule is yet to be decided, but we are pleased to inform you that its design is in progress. We should hereby note that the line-up of future projects on our website does not imply a release sequence, whereas which project comes first totally depends on its level of completion and production team’s workload and schedule. Therefore, any project can come up earlier than the many others that our designers are working on and this may include some other projects that even are not listed in our current catalogue nor we ever announced before but have been working on since our start-up. As for your query regarding the 1:32 J35 Draken, we have been receiving too many requests to bring it at once and this will be the top topic to be discussed in the next management meeting.

RicardoD Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Good to hear that about the Draken. Now even more intrigued about these "unexplained" projects!! No intention to start a guess rally but can't help wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadBaron Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Gonna be that guy.... If only it were 1/48 I'd take a case of them! Maintained far too many to count, and the old Redstar RC-12 in the stash looks like it's going to be a right PITA to get up to 350 trim Good news for large scale civvie fans though, it ought to be a stellar kit!

Two sidenotes: The advertised version is the C-12, meaning it should come with military decal options. Second, 1/48 version has been suggested by many people in facebook comments and Jetmads says it's possible. JMcD and RadBaron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guradrail I hope too but the MC-12 should be a 350 series aircraft if I'm not mistaken. John1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete G. Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I may actually have to get one of these. I've been trying to stay away from twins but this one is so different to me personally! Beautiful aircraft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
