Juggernut Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Does that translation “…jet fighter aircraft….” allude to a Kikka by chance or am I hoping against hope? Edited December 24, 2023 by Juggernut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just the Ki-100. I just had her read through it again and she can't seem to get "Jet fighter" per'se. If they're going to do a Kikka [ oh how I hope ] it will have it's own designation. Kikka would be Kokoku Nigo Heiki loosely translated Imperial weapon number 2. She isn't getting any of that in the blog. She can read all 3 types of Japanese writing methods[ riddles to me] she also speaks it fluently too [ I envy her!] Pup7309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its a word that doesnt translate perfectly. Pup7309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, as does the shape of the radiator housing under the fuselage. 19 hours ago, Artful69 said: If ZM are going to do the whole P.51 enchilada ... I'm all for it ... the Hobbycraft kits are getting very thin on the ground and showing their age regardless ... A Mustang Mk.I & II as well as the Mk.III would be nice to see ... . Oh yes! 12 hours ago, scimitarf1 said: My guess is that is the wrong silhouette and it should be a P-51B/C. If it's a Pony of whatever variant except another D/K I'll take it. Don't think we're likely to see a P-51H though, or an F-82, but it's nice to have a fantasy or two. CRAZY IVAN5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's more, there are three types from ◯ to ◯ in 1/32 scale, Since there's already a T-28B,C,D , this ones gotta be an A.

Actually I wouldn't mind it if Z-M did the whole range, just not a big fan of KittyHawk but I'll go with it if no other choice. Now that some of the Kitty Hawk stuff is coming back , it might be interesting how all this shakes out. You just know that Z-M will be putting all the innards in.

The KH T-28 is a sound kit whereas the same cannot be said for all of their models... D Bellis and CRAZY IVAN5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll think about trying their T-28 , as long as it doesn't have a lot of "goofy" engineering. The last kits of theirs that I built were the FJ-2 and FJ-3 and they weren't bad at all[ 48th but oh well]. Well, the FJ-2 didn't give any location to mount the ext. tanks but I figured it out.
