Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 A Tiffie and a Whirlwind in 1/32nd - now that is rather nice! Jonners 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 A new tool 1:48 Baltimore? I would have expected another CA rerelease. René 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham T Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 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! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I suspect that more of those must be ex Classic Airframes tooling than it the list as printed suggests. The Walrus and Buffalo in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmaas Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basuroy Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 The 72nd scale sea vixen - new tool or reboxing plastic from some other brand ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Vampire mk I? Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 If that is a new Sea Vixen tool, and it has been properly researched and rendered in kit form, and is good quality it will be a sure fire winner and something that a lot of us have been waiting for! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 A modern car door Typhoon and a Westland Whirlwind in 1/32 I can feel some retail therapy coming on Cheers Dennis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) 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 Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy wood Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 still no Hansa Brandeberg C1 then. It was announced nearly 9 years ago. It even has a kit number (32007) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nes4day Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hmm... no word on that 1/72 Viggen, the wait continues..... Anyone have any inside scoop on what's the story with the supposedly incoming 1/72 SH Viggen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 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. A 1/48 Baltimore sounds nice too Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Nothing wrong with the Heller Viggen, Draken and Starfighter for me. They all had two seat options in the box and recce noses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truro Model Builder Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 A new 1/72 Sea Vixen to the standard of their recent mouldings would be particularly nice. Did Special Hobby do the Xtrakit Sea Vixen or was that somebody else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
