Hoppy Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hi All On Cybermodeller they are showing a link to the new Italeri 2013 catalog showing a new 1/72 Short Stirling. Hopefully it wont have the heavy panel lines of their Sunderland. http://www.cybermodeler.com/news/italeri3.shtml#.UQdjw2thiK0 Regards Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 And about time too! Even if the panel lines are OTT, I don't care, its a new Stirling!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A H Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Cool! Someone at Italeri is a fan of RAF wartime aircraft, by the looks of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzaob Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The B-57G is a welcome re-release, filling one of the gaps in the Airfix and HighPlanes 1/72 Canberra ranges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Laidlaw Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yup, don't care about the panel lines - the Stirling's the thing! Have to admit that the 1:35th X-craft sub has piqued my interest, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Ok... I'll be the first to say it... If only it was in 1:48!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A H Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Well we could say the same thing about the Airfix Javelin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Do Airfix rebox some Italeri kits, as I thought the Horsa was one of Italeri models, so just thinking that may be Airfix would use this tool later on and the Sunderland kit but in a Airfix box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Well we could say the same thing about the Airfix Javelin! I know mate... but someone was going to say it, so I thought it might as well be me Maybe we need some new legislation that kits have to be simultaneously released in both 1:48 and 1:72? I'm just going to sit here and wait now for someone to pipe up "and 1:32!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just going to sit here and wait now for someone to pipe up "and 1:32!) Happy to oblige, "and 1/32" though in the case of the Stirling 1/48 would be big enough !

Mike Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Well done Den Couldn't agree more on the Stirling... I know how big it is in 1:48! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeronut Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 "and 1/32" though in the case of the Stirling 1/48 would be big enough Although a Stirling in 1;35 will be needed if the Masterbox Horsa ever turns up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Although a Stirling in 1;35 will be needed if the Masterbox Horsa ever turns up. Could we have a Halifax in 35th as well then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeback52 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I could easily live with "heavy" panel lines on the Stirling!! This is a trivial matter!! What counts is that its a NEW STIRLING!!!!! Now, who's for a Halifax B.III? Blenheim IV/V, Hampden, Whitley, Beaufort 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Well done Den Couldn't agree more on the Stirling... I know how big it is in 1:48! Yes, there's one gathering lots of cobwebs in your workshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
593jones Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Now, who's for a Halifax B.III? Blenheim IV/V, Hampden, Whitley, Beaufort Me, provided they're in 1/48 (Especially the Hampden!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8fan Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) I just read the stories of the two Stirling VC's. Not to diminish anyone else's service/efforts, but I wonder which markings they will choose? Edited February 2, 2013 by Av8fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruffy Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Glad to hear a new Stirling is being produced! It always seems to be the under dog in bomber command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelldoc Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Everyboby has a long year time. The kit is annouced for the last month (DECEMBER!).
