Tony T Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Mmm. I had better start sketching Su-15TM Flagon and NF Mosquito aircraft. Banter aside, is there an announcement date set or is it destined to be eternal rolling conjecture? I'm more of a "being there" type of person rather than enjoying the journey.

Christa Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 WnW procedures might be best guide, Tony. They tended to say little until all their ducks were in a row. Kotare have announced no date that I know of. Archimedes and Tony T 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Afraid Tony it’s a complete guess and wish- a-thon. There was a hint of a grande reveal at Telford of something to complement their Spitfire. But so far a big fat donut.

Not everyone enjoys pages of speculation. If not it is probably best to regularly check the manufacturer’s website as whatever they do, it will appear there or on their FaceBook pages first and ahead of our forum. Your wish-list is as valid as anyone else’s though!. 4 hours ago, Pup7309 said: Afraid Tony it’s a complete guess and wish- a-thon. There was a hint of a grande reveal at Telford of something to complement their Spitfire. But so far a big fat donut. @Pup7309 They absolutely did hint at that. The flight from NZ to UK and back across a weekend is a tough turnaround however so i get why they have backed away form that. @thierry laurent - yes he did paint a Do17. Hmmm, I can feel another mock-up coming on… At the end of the day this is all just a bit of fun. The ships have no doubt long sailed for Kotare for their next releases but, at least for me, it is an enjoyable part of the spectrum of what we do as modellers to ruminate on what may be coming. kind regards, Paul MikeC, Shoggz, mozart and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airfares, accommodation, ground transport, food, entertainment, and then the cost of transporting stock and promotional material, and dumping left over stock at ridiculous prices to avoid having to bring what’s left back. Yes, likely all tax deductible, but it all has to be paid for first. And the gain from the exercise? Their kitsets are already in the market, well known, and I’m sure they have distributors established. A nice junket perhaps, but probably not in the early years of setting up a business. I think I can understand them staying put and continuing with product development.

Iain Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Kotare have said that they've now sold out of all of their 'Mk.1a (mid)' Spitfire boxing - obviously there are still stocks flowing out through the supply chain - but this is good news and bodes well for them IMHO.
