Bigger pressies at crimbo & birfdaze maybe, thats usually the only time I'd get something as big as a Lanc or B-29 etc, the rest of the year it'd be 2 bob jobs with the occasional Boston or Mossie if you saved up for a couple of weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The delay is a pity but as long as more 48th follows I'll be cool with it. Will you be taking pre-orders at Telford?? There's a Bristol 188 at Cosford as well.....

charlie_c67 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Hope you won't forget the Brits and Commonwealth with those Hawks Am I wrong, or are KP also doing the earlier versions of the La-5? If so, any news on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jan - is this a completely new mold, or a reissue of the Zvezda/Eduard or of the Hobbycraft La-5FN? Thank you! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 If you are looking for ideas for more light planes, then the British Aircraft Swallow II would be a good one. Developed form the Klemm 25, it had new wing and fuselage shapes, and there is a UK military option as a number were impressed and used as gliders! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to this my fault you had to write your soo long post. Sorry. :-) Here are camouflage schemes for the first boxes to be released. http://www.modelarovo.cz/curtiss-p-36h-75-172-az-model-prehled-kamuflazi/ Jan, these look great, and I hope P-36 debut today at "Pilsenkit" would be a big success . Just one question: the profile of post-Pearl Harbor P-36 flown by pilot Harry Brown carries two victory markings (two Japanese flags). I've seen the same profile over the years, but no photo of his P-36 with the two "kills". Is there a solid photo reference on this detail? And, when I saw the photos of the KP/AZ P-36 sprues I have regretted buying two old Heller/Smer/Mistercraft kits. they are just not worth the trouble anymore Regarding Spit Vc, which markings are in the plans? How about one 352 (Yugoslav) Squadron airplane? Edited September 2, 2017 by Relja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) Pilsenkit was a great success for Hawk, we'd sold all boxes we had there. Starting Monday our production staff will be packing orders. This one for Mr. H. will be the first. Also on Monday we will take the final decision in "Telford Item" and special action. There is one piston engined fighter plane prototype, one British jet and one twin engined aircraft. In fact all are British origin. I will inform you in time. Spitfire Vc - it is not decided yet what camo will be designed. For sure RAAF, Czechs and Poles in RAF, Malta, MTO, RAF Aces..... We are collecting references now. P-36 - I am not working on this project. But I will ask my colleague for the kill marks references and if it is not prohibited I will post it here. Telford - our table will be at Guideline stand as the last year. We will bring variety of kits AZ/KP and also products of Stransky Kits, Avalon decals and etches by Marabu. Have a nice Sunday gentlemen. Edited September 3, 2017 by Jan Polc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTiger66 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 All of this is good news Jan. Curtiss = really good news and Let-200 as a KP release is also good; I missed it first time around. I'm pleased to see the canopy masks for them too. Due to postage costs, I may hopefully enlist the help of a fellow Britmodeller, to pick me up at least a couple of Hawks and masks at Telford. If the boxing with the Norwegian one is out by then, I'll have that one too. I feel a Hawk production line commencing in 2018. I second @Dave Fleming 's suggestion for a BA Swallow; maybe a joint boxing with a Klemm 25? I just bought the old Huma Klemm 25; a lovely little kit - maybe the masters are around somewhere? The BA Swallow derivative allows for nice engine variants; both offer many nationalities/markings. I gave up and bought an old Blue Rider DH9 conversion for the Airfix DH4. Any news on a 1/72 DH9?

I think that currently no one is producing it, there's a lot of Mk.IIs on the market... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hurricane Mk. I is not in the pipeline. There is only one man who is lobbying for it in the company..., me. But I still hope that Petr will not survive my constant press on him... Stay tuned. :-) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want stuff collecting and so on just let me know and I'll get on it. My club go to help a trader member so arrangements can be made. It's really good to see a manufacturer who is kitting all these off-beat subjects. I hope there is more to come in 48th. About Spitfire schemes in the RAF. There were also pilots from India, Israel, France and so on. It would be nice to see the aircraft of these peoples as well. I'm very glad the Hawk was well received. If you keep coming up with projects like that Petr will have to listen to you. I know a lot of 1/72 model-makers will be very happy. Finally I've just got the Su-25UTG with the other on it's way. I'm very happy indeed with what you've done. Thank You. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a market for a MkI, even though there aren't any currently in production, because the Airfix and Hasegawa kits are going for silly money on eB*y. While you're at it, could you lobby him for a MkII as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
