    we are quite sure, that even as short run, this kit will be a huge step upwards from airfix/minicraft, thus hopefully making it a good selling kit.

    The interesting thing might be, that since we build models on our own, we are fully aware of the importance when i comes to accuracy and buildability.

    Sadly also we had to learn that certain things are simply not possible in injection moulding. Yet, at this stage we think we created something that maybe does not compare to any other airliner model in terms of accuracy. But in the end the buyer will decide and right or wrong us. At least thats what we try :)

    After the -200, the -100 will follow and after that another milestone in aviation is about to be created.

     

     

    Concorde?

  2. An update on the update, from Heinz,

     

    Next release is Bv-138 in 2024, then B-47 and S.M.79, all these will take some time.

     

    The B-26 will be available in about 3-4 years, probably a B or C, but maybe the former as it had the more colourful markings.

     

    Jiri's thinking about releasing the Beaufighter in resin, but that's not for sure.

     

    No words about a Do-17. I think Jiri´s plans are to finish some of the already started projects and then there will be an end, he´s 65 years now.

  3. Just received an email from Heinz, a close friend of Jiri at HpH/Infinity.

     

    The Kate is going to be released under the HpH label, Infinity is now in the past, the larger parts will be resin, with the already tooled smaller and clear parts in plastic.

     

    Added to the future HpH releases of the S.M. 79, Bv-138 and He-177, are a B-26 Marauder and  Lockheed PV-1 Ventura in 1/32, with a B-47 in 1/48 - this a priority project.

    From the latest Old Man Blog;

     

    "Imagine my trembling voice, my hands and this heart! !
    The day has finally come when I can fulfill my promise to you! !
    Details of the kit will be announced in the next issue, the next issue, and the next issue.
    Well, after all, it is a kit that has taken 10 years from the start of development to the actual machine interview.
    Therefore, the content is so amazing that even I myself can't believe it, so where, no, what should I start explaining ~~~~.

    It is a masterpiece of the past ten years that has continued to wander in dreams and illusions while sleeping and waking up.

    Above all, I was able to come this far while encouraging the development staff at Zoukei-mura, supported by your happy voice and face.

     

    Reservations for this kit are available from Saturday, April 29, 2023 to Sunday, May 28, 2023.

     

    your dream is our dream

    Please look forward to Zoukei-mura's latest work, "Fw 190 A-4"! !"

    I noticed my cart at Hannants empties automatically every day now. Previously I could add one or two things at a time, and they would remain in the basket.

     

    If you log in and add them then, they will remain, though you have to log in to see them afterwards.

    Is it at all possible these were newly manufactured?  Maybe they had sprues in a big box but no instructions or packaging?  I am just a bit skeptical these were all sitting in a warehouse all this time.  I do think they will go back into production at some point, they are to valuable not to.  

     

    Nope, they were in a warehouse in case WnW's started trading again, they aren't, hence the final sale of stock.

    Unless most of those parts are a 10 0r 12 part chopped up fuselage designed to let further meteors to be tooled..... much like aeroclubs  F8 conversions ...:p

     

    The kit hasn't been designed yet, so the parts count is speculative.

    It was great to see them in the air , Malta 53/54 , but by then they were all over silver with the yellow/black " Oxydol" stripes underneath .

    The low flying there had to be seen to be believed . They and the Sea Fury`s from Hal Far almost took the tops off our sigs unit aerial masts! .

    I`m hoping for MK 6 or 10 , in wartime garb of course . I think it was one of Malta`s TT 10s that made a two second appearance in the

    " Ice Cold" film . dropping the message tube .

                                                                             

     

    Wow, I'm jealous.

    If the design does not exist yet perhaps Revell can change it to a F.8

     

    Regards

    Robert

     

    The folks at Revell, who make the decisions, have chosen the F.3, despite advice in favour of the more widely used/commercially viable F.8. Tis the way of the world.

    Thanks - I thought perhaps there was a glitch as not had trouble buying before.

     

    Just tried now on my laptop and it recognises the UK, but asks to confirm the order before entering my details, so much different from yesterday, very strange, I also added some wheels to take the order of 100 Euros, looks like the pre-order period is up until the kit is released next year, it's vague to say the least.
