Sage the Owl Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 DBMK models have posted a thank you on their Facebook page to Duxford for letting them 'LIDAR' their Spitfire 24. When asked what scale they planned they confirmed it would be 1/32. I'm guessing that we're probably a couple of years away from any potential release after the Sea Fury, Hornet & Tiger unless they bump it up their schedule. Good news if it comes to fruition as the Matchbox kit needs to be replaced with a state of the art model. It's taken a long time but between DBMK & Laminar Flow Designs, the big Griffons are finally getting some well deserved large scale love.

CRAZY IVAN5 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Oh, hell yeah! I'm in like now and they can throw in it's F.A.A. counterpart the FR47 while they're at it! I'm trying to curb my enthusiasm as I haven't seen anything from this company yet regarding plastic. Lots of nice ideas but I need to see some beef [ CADS do look good] morane, BloorwestSiR and Scotsman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 That's some great news. I did enjoy building the Matchbox 24 kit but it'll be nice to have an up to date one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 FR47 Seafire, yeah! We're beginning to get 1:32 Spitfires coming out of our ears. Still eagerly awaiting DBMK's 1:48 Scimitar. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 The latest update from DBMK on Facebook: Quote This is the CAD model of the XIVe overlaid with the scan of the same. We have also scanned a 24, XVII and XVI (high backed) with the intention of doing the XIV as both high and low backed with the E wing and then a late series airframe as well.
