    Perhaps this thread should be retitled “beauty products”. Then I can stop checking it for news of the Hobby 2000 British Phantoms.

    I believe that the small private purchase exemption from US tariffs remains in effect for Japan (and most other countries), just not China. It was briefly suspended earlier in the year but quickly restored.

    They are still there. There stuff turns up on HLJ from time to time. Best to pre-order, they don’t last long.

    That windscreen is a perfect opportunity for Aerocraft. I’d by the kit if they would seize it.

    You are right. Forgot about those which were two of the best. Maybe a trend is starting.

    I agree. I have the 1/72 set. It is really nice but the canopy makes it unusable. It is not just poor quality vacform but also impossibly wide frames. There is nothing that I know of the one can do with over wide canopy frames on a vacform.

    Or, at least, a re-issue of the old Airwaves resin correction for the impossibly thin rear fuselage, a defect that afflicts all Italeri Do-217’s. Hannants brings back many Airwaves brass products regularly but never, it seems, resin ones. Otherwise I remain satisfied with the Italeri ones.

    Perfect for high definition 3D printing.Let’s hope.

    Been waiting for this one. Doesn’t take up as much room on the shelf and looks a little sleeker for the shortness, methinks.

    In another photo of what I believe is the same test build, that was posted by Homebee on Jan 23 they do look bulged (perhaps not quite enough ?).

    Been a generation since a Heller kit was a must. Count me in!!!

    The sprues sure don’t look printed. Am I missing something.

    Putting the idea’s thus far with the original clues, here is how I interpret what we have been given. 1. it says these variants have not been kitted, not these aircraft have not been kitted 2. it is American made, Dutch operated. 3. More captured by the Japanese than used by the USA. 4. Bombed Saigon, (from the Dutch East Indies?) 5. Twin engined with a narrow cockpit only one man wide. at this point my money is on the long continuous canopy model of the Martin B-10. Too lazy to get off the couch and check references for the proper designation ( just finished cleaning the garage). This possibility has the virtue of being based on an existing Special Hobby kit with some new parts, just like the DB-7.

    There are those shower door canopies again. Generally, fighter pilots prioritize vision over privacy. Otherwise, these are beautiful kits.
