I'd prefer 1/72 myself. It's a better scale for modern tactical jets.

That'll sell well, I suspect. I'll buy one. -
Finemolds gone too far? - WW2 Japanese kitchen car

I remember Tamiya releasing "Barnyard Animals" in 1983. -
I think there's a bigger, industry-wide problem. All the major subjects have been done. Often done to death...which companies are NOT making a 1/48 Mustang? It's getting hard to pick a subject that will sell, especially if you aren't willing to roll the dice on experimental or drawing-board aircraft. FWIW, we're seeing that over on the armor side. (Having said that, an F-108 kit might do quite well)

1/32 - Hanriot-Dupont HD-1 & HD-2 by Copper State Models - 3D renders
HMSLion replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
This one I want. And am surprised Wingnut Wings never tackled it. -
I'm a sucker for X-planes (after 40 years in flight test), so I'd be in for at least one. Probably two.

Roden tried clear wings with their Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter. It didn't work out as well as hoped, and carried a cost in brittleness of the plastic.

Yup, A/V 2 had dihedral that A/V 1 didn't have.

700: any news about Flyhawk ships announcements?

I'd have preferred a capital ship from the Great War, but I'll cheerfully buy one. -
1/72 - Lockheed S-3 Viking by Trumpeter - release in 2023-2024
HMSLion replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
This one I'll buy. Worked on testing those in the early 1980s.
