provencenut Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hi! It seems that there will be 1/144 scale Fokker F-27-200 coming from Pas-decals in future: http://pas-decals.ru/forum/novosti/1078-novinki-vostochnyj-ekspress?start=216 Mika 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 It's from Eastern Express who also intend to release an MD-87. Good news indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hasegawa already do a 1/144 F-27 - although I've not seen one for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Mc Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Aha - I knew it was a Japanese one. I have it in my stash bit haven't looked at it for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Judging by recent Eastern Express releases (negative comments else where accepted) this will be much better than the Doyusha kit. I've got their IL-18, Yak-42 and others and each one gets much better. The panel lines can be a wee bit wonky and inconsistent but overall they are nice. Hopefully they'll produce a full range of F-27. Also from the same source, EE seem to be releasing a Shorts 360 and Skyvan. All good news and very welcome.

Eric Mc Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I have the EE S330 and it looks quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I bought a couple from 26decals at Telford last year - great price. I also picked up some decals from Nick Webb (Classic-Airlines.com). Very nice little kit. The Skyvan will be a test for eyes and steady hands.

Eric Mc Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I had a go a while ago at the Welsh models S330. I ran out of steam, unfortunately. I was planning to complete it as an Aer Lingus Commuter aircraft - I have the Max Decals set. the plan is to complete the EE kit in those markings. Hopefully, that will come to fruition some day.

Britman Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I welcome these kits with open arms. However, I would like to see some aftermarket resin or ech prop blades for this kind of thing. The best multiblade props that have come across my bench were those in the Revell A400 (1/144th ) but a new line of supply would be helpful to turn to.
