    😴 Another F-16? meh, This does nothing for me, had hoped for something new and fresh.

    It will be bigger as the Airfix kit is in 1/48 scale.

    I too would love to see this in 1/48 I have never understood why helicopters are made in 1/35 scale. The only reason I can come up with is for the diorama builders to include a helo in a dio together with some tanks or something. But to my knowledge I have never seen such a dio. A helicopter is an aircraft after all and as such they should make them in the popular aircraft scales.

    Dora Wings have re-opened the order site for the Vengeance https://dorawings.com/1-48/vultee-vengeance-mk-ii

    The test build looked really nice. but the forms needs some final tweaks apparently, to get everything to line up as it should.

    As they have a Falklands conflict theme going on, a A-4 Skyhawk would fit that bill. It is after all 40y since that conflict took place.

    Would love to see it in these markings Then I could think about maybe getting one.

    The A and B kit plastic is the same with the addition of a resin engine in the B kit. Other than that it's only decals that differ.

    Well, the SAAB 17 has a very simple U/C solution and the U/C cover doubles as a dive brake during dive bombing.

    I'm building one right now. It's a short run kit and as such the quality isn't at an Eduard standard obviously. The details are soft, missing and in many cases wrong and the fit of the parts is not great. is it overprized for what you get, probably yes. BUT and that's a big but, it's the only way to build a SAAB 17 in 1/48 scale unless you want to scratch build one. And with a bit o TLC it can be made into a good looking replica of the real deal.

    Asked Dora Wings again about the Guardsman. Got this not so encouraging response What I'm hopping is that suspended means on hold, not cancelled.
  12. flarpen
    I asked them about that on FB. It's on their to do list, but no more details on when it could materialize.
  13. flarpen
    Second that. 188 and 388 would be nice.
  14. flarpen
    Do you know any individual serial numbers on the aircraft taking part in this?
  15. flarpen
    Just received info that my T-50A kit have been dispatched from Lucky Model. 😃

    Are the parts to make a FB.5 included on the sprues in this boxing? I've looked at the sprue pics, but can't identify the wing tips needed to make a FB.5

    In stock at Rebell Hobby https://www.rebell.com/saab-j29f-tunnan-20588.html?___store=eu&___from_store=default

    Aviation megastore has a lot of other Wolfpack stuff, so I will watch their site for it.
  19. flarpen
    Sounds like that could be a good idea.
  20. flarpen
    I suppose that would have to be Vingtor for Norwegian markings I guess 😆 . As for Swedish (FB.5) markings, Moose Republic has that covered.
  21. flarpen
    That would be nice, but I don't see that happening any time soon. Regarding the viggen I suspect that it was Special Hobby who wanted the kit to a higher standard then the Tarangus other releases.
  22. flarpen
    Not a rebox. The F version has a different wing with saw tooth leading edge and a bigger, longer rear fuselage to accommodate the new afterburner engine. So their will need to be some very different major parts in this release.
  23. flarpen
    Still waiting for the AT-3B to show up.
  24. flarpen
    +1 for the TH-55. Loooong overdue.

    I thought you would pick up on this Homebee, so I didn't post it here as well. Can add this though: schemes included:
