Ali62 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Now a DH.88 Comet in 1/48 scale will make me very pleased indeed. Looking forward to these a lot. Ali 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeronut Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I may end up buying extra kits just for the Gypsy Sixes to use on other models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarLos Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Selling only engine kits would be a good idea! There is a great gap to cover since Aeroclub closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Just out of curiosity, I've seen a number of "announcements" from MicroMir, but what have they actually gotten to the point of being able to buy up to now? I'll happily (very happily) get a 1/48 Comet, but is it ungrateful to say that I'd almost rather it be 1/32? If they REALLY want to make me happy, add a 1/32 Percival Mew Gull- and NOT Henshaw's uglified version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Welcome news as it is, but I would like a 1/32 issue. The previous hi-tech kit was prohibitively expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 A bit more than I thought, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 You do have to hunt Mikro Mir stuff out but FWIW I've found the effort to be worth it so far. The 1/48 BI-1 was a bit of a let down but that's all so far and you can't blame MM after they checked with the museum who were less than complete with the truth...apparently.

The previous hi-tech kit was prohibitively expensive. I assume you are referring to the Marsh Models kit? When originally released it was £95, I personally don't expect a 1/32 styrene kit to be too be much cheaper. Thomo.

Kevin Callahan Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I do love the DH-88, and will be there when the 1:72 version hits the Big H. To Bob's comment, it does seem that Mikro Mir has many more announcements than finished product. Their 1:72 line has a lot of interesting stuff in it (like the K-7). One that has crossed the availability line is the Miles Aerovan. I'm in the early stages of construction and have been pretty happy so far. Sometimes development of a new model is a long process, and as long as Mikro-Mir keeps producing nice kits of interesting subjects in 1:72 I'll be there with my credit card out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the early stages of construction and have been pretty happy so far. There's something decidedly off about the shape. No, wait, that's the original aircraft's fault! Gotta admit, though, it "doesn't look quite right" in a rather endearing way... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillidragon Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Don't worry so did I, but I would have said 'hmmm' for 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
