thierry laurent Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Actually an accurate Stuka would also make sense. This is an iconic BoB plane and there is no good kit in large scale! This will be my favourite hypothesis! Archimedes, Martinnfb, Christa and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lack this Iconic BoB bomber from the 1/32 line up ... and also an accurate Ju.87B/R Both of these fall under the "... something to shoot down" banner. Rog It would be a tough one to pull off well but I agree with both @Palm-tree and @Artful69 Rog' that a Do-17 is one of the BoB aircraft that would at least appeal to some of us at LSP (and probably a wider audience?). It would fall firmly into the 'quirky' side as opposed to 'definite money spinners' category though. Given that Mark Robson said he had over 80 airframes proposed and Richard Alexander had his own list, it is anyone's guess what 'non-Spitfire' airframe will be next. What I am fairly certain of however is that commercial reality will drive their release schedule far more than it ever did for WnW. But remember that Richard Alexander let out of the bag that the Lancaster was one of the first things that WnW started so, even though we may not see quirky release for a long time, the Kotare team may well be working on something 'quirky' already in addition to the money spinners and that is a heart warming thought.

You know Thierry, this actually makes quite a bit of sense, if we're going off the few "clues" we have. Hasegawa only ever did the lake Stuka, and the Trumpeter kits aren't exactly popular, even though they are quite alright. As for some of the other suggestions, I imagine we will see some of them down the line, should we continue to give Kotare our business. The Do-17 makes a ton of sense, as does the Beaufighter and P-51A and P-51B/C. But those will be in due time. I imagine what we see first is something to compliment the early Spits, whether that be Allied or Axis. And then we'll probably get some Duellist boxings, too. - Dennis S.

Confusionreigns178 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 (edited) I am PRETTY sure it will be a 1/32 Rinky-Dinky-Plinky Self-Lubricating Truss-Flange Warbler (very possibly the later version, with the Rich Corinthian Faux-Velvet Interior and four-person hot-tub). If that proves to be incorrect, I think it might be something German (or French, Romanian, Italian, Norwegian.... please insert further countries, as you see fit). Cheers. Chris.

Kagemusha Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I'll be surprised if the new kit has any connection to the Spitfire, much better a popular subject from yesteryear much in need of a re-boot.

Hear,hear! I'd be down with any of those especially the Hellcat. I don't see Kotare doing any of them except possibly the Mustang [ which would be fine with me too] Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwest21 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 The jump in kit numbers to 32009 made me wonder if they are doing something similar to what AFV Club does occasionally with kit numbers. When AFV Club released their first M113, it was kit 35113, the M110 was kit 35110, the M60 was 35060 and so on. If they are doing that, then a Bf109 would be it. Otherwise, I have no clue. thierry laurent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY IVAN5 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Does it have to be BoB theme or even a British design? there's crap load of subjects that could and would make them money. I'd like to see ,in no real order, P-51B/C, Hellcat, LYSANDER, any Griffon engine Spitfire / Seafire , any late model Corsair. Just my 2 cents worthand a cof a cuppee. No matter what they do ,it'll be good quality and give Tamiya a real run for their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they did say that it would compliment the Spitfire... ... and there are only two other planes to think of when you think of Spitfire... the 109 and the Walrus.... ... just kidding.

Aptivaboy Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 An early Hurricane is likely the most probable kit, but a 1/32nd Hellcat would sell like hotcakes, probably almost as well as a P-51B/C. An accurate 1/32nd Cat would be wonderful! CRAZY IVAN5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I meant Hurricane. Thought provoking to say the least. One thing to consider , when Kotare decided to go after the early spits , the market was wide open with tyhe exception of the Revell kit[ which isn't too goody] and now they have a corner on that market . If they decide to do a Hurri and/ or a 109E , then they do have some respectable competition, revell's new Hurri [ not quite in the same league as Kotare but very good ] and the Cyberhobby Emil which is very good[ I've built 2 and, well, that's enough for me]. Now could Kotare do a great job on either ? No doubt but then at what price point [ it does matter], they could come in at twice the price of either of those 2 MAYBE. Now this is where an early Stuka AND the Do -17 could clean up, they'd have the market all to themselves. Both are BoB iconic aircraft. Just my 2 cents worth [ if that] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I meant Hurricane. Felt a warm fuzzy affinity with the arctic, whiskers and tusks when the magic word Walrus appeared. Would fit the quirky label, later. I'm really hoping it isn't a Bf 109, as the 019 number combo is already getting a lot of attention in Japan. What do I associate with the Spitfire but isn't one? An early Hurricane, definitely, but also a ground support set with accumulator, refuelling bowser and maybe a dinky sports car.
