Guest Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Tempted with the Aero 304 - looks like a Czech Anson. My wallet is unhappy about the Spitfire Vc though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelldoc Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Thanks for the information. Like to see the Z-37, the "potato - bomber" modelldoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 The Spitfire Vc should prove a popular kit and the MiG-23UB caught my attention in particular but why is that Su-22UM so strangely attractive!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wallet is unhappy about the Spitfire Vc though... Thought you might be interested in that spitfire Lee! Isn't the Vc the variant everyone was asking Airfix for? Never saw the Aero 304 before but it does look interesting. Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Would any of our Czech speaking citizens have any idea if the Su-22 and Su-25 are new tools, or the Ancient Ones Of Old? Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Andre The Su-25's are indeed based on the older OEZ kits, how much new plastic will be added I don't know. The Su-7U and Su-22U are also based on the older kits but it says that they both come with new fuselages so the only original parts I can think of that will remain are the wings and tail surfaces. I will happily snap up an Su-7U at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Su-7U would be new, but Pantera did release a Su-22UM: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/143053-pantera-7202-su22um-3k-fitter-g Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LN-KEH Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hei, There is also some information from the same group on http://www.azmodel.cz/2018/01/az-model-v-roce-2018/ Čeká nás opět rok tvrdé práce na nových modelech se značkou AZ model. Připravujeme pro vás pokračování řady Bf 109, nabídneme vám poslední sériovou variantu K. Dokončujeme velmi pohledný stroj – Vought Kingfisher v plovákové i kolové verzi. Splněním loňského slibu bude řada letounů Cessna – verze 150/152 a 180/185. Velmi oblíbené přebaly obohatí druhoválečná klasika – North American B-25J Mitchell, založený na výliscích Italeri. Google translate results gives: More BF 109s including the Me 109K Vought Kingfisher Cessna 150/152/180/185 North American B-25J Mitchell based on the Italeri molds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBr Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The complete translation: We have a year of hard work on new AZ model kits ahead of us again. We will continue with the Bf-109 line, and we will bring you the last produced version -- version K. We also recommend very good-looking aircraft - Vought Kingfisher, both in version with wheels and floats. We will honour the last year's promise of bringing a range of Cessna aircraft kits - versions 150/152 and 180/185. Very popular reboxes will be joined by a WWII classic - North American B-25J Mitchell based on Italeri moulds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The Spitfire Vc is of course the kit that most interest me here. Not that the others are bad, but a good and easily available 1/72 Vc has long been a serious omission from the Spitfire family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_C Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I must say that this year's plans of AZ/KP are way more modest compared with previous year. And not everything from 2017 program is planned in 2018... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Bill It can be a tricky build (though not for a man of your qualities, Bill), but otherwise it's fine. If the AZ one has the same narrow-chord wings that their Vb has, it will be less accurate than the Sword. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Bill There's mainly one big problem with the Sword Vc: they are not really easily available ! Yes, as Procopius said they can be tricky to build, but this problem is negligible compared to the fact that finding one is often not too easy. Like most Sword products, it's one of those kits that will disappear after the first production run, anyone interested should buy it immediately (or in this case should have bought). What I'd like is a kit that can be ordered online or bought in a shop anytime I feel the need to buy one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
