A new tool BV155?  I've only fairly recently finished the last one (and it wasn't by far the oldest SH kit in my stash), so I'm a little surprised.  Maybe a BV155C?  More generally, that's a fairly wide range of interests covered but not one for me.  My problem not their's, I'm sure.

That's an ambitious list for a single year, I wonder how many we'll actually see in that time frame!  Waiting patiently for the 1/32 Tempest VI, but the 1/32 Tiffie & Whirlwind might also find their way into the stash! .

Worthy of note - the 1/48 Brewster 339B/E, which is actually a new-ish kit.  MPM/Special Hobby had previously done the Model 239/F2A-1 for Classic Airframes (and are now releasing it under their own banner).  They had also done the F2A-3 and Model 339-23 (RAAF) as Special Hobby kits.  However, despite setting the common wing up for the 'middle' Buffalos (none of the previously released kits needed a second wing light opening, which was a bear to fill) they were absent until now.  This release will allow for the British versions, both ex-Belgian Western Desert and Southeast Asia; I'll assume a Dutch release will follow. The Special Hobby kit will be more accurate, although a bit more challenging to build, than the 35 year old Tamiya kit.  Happily, there will be a new book on the Buffalo in the Ginter series by Rich Dann, maybe out by the end of the year.

The 72nd scale sea vixen - new tool or reboxing plastic from some other brand ?

Come on Dennis, you know you want a go at their 1/32nd Yak-3 to add to your collection! Me, I'm intrigued by the Sea Vixen. If it is a properly-done and accurate kit, put me down for one (or two). I love early/WWII jets so that FH-1 Phantom looks intriguing also.

 

Regards,

 

Jason

Hi Jason, I'm not supposed to know but there is a 1/32nd scale SH Yak-3 not 10 feet away from me at this very moment ready for my birthday next month !! I think the one above is the ordinary version rather than the Hi Tech one

 

Cheers

A reissue of the Balliol. I love the foreign and civil header! - so that's G-ANSF and one of the twelve Ceylon examples then.

 

 

I hope they remember to double-print the white for the registration letters, 'cause that's the only way to make white decals work over a deep red background.

Nothing wrong with the Heller Viggen, Draken and Starfighter for me. They all had two seat options in the box and recce noses. 

No argument from me. However they aren't 48th with is all I can manage nowadays Thanks to increasing decrepitude.
