    Once I made a post with predictions Personally I bet Spitfire MkV and Bf109F Malta Dogfight combo. To be honest, I don't mind new versions of older tooling: Beaufighter MK VIF, metal winged Hurricane and so on. Also I hope Airfix still can make a less popular versions of very popular aircraft, like a new Bf 109D. Gloster Meteor downsized to 1/72 is a option too. PS. Why is nobody asking for Yak-9?

    With a name of model given, people can like or do not like subject. With a such teaser, everybody can dream.

    Boxarts for Stridsvagn m/40 K and Stridsvagn m/40 L Swedish light tank were published on facebook, although m/40 K was earlier on their site. Stridsvagn m/40 K Swedish light tank Stridsvagn m/40 L Swedish light tank - tank on boxart have Dominican camouflage. Twenty of those tanks were delivered to Dominican Republic, some of them were destroyed by American tanks in 1965.

    I don't think there is need to make a separate thread for each new plastic model in 1/72, because it is not that popular like aircraft, so I will run one thread to aforementioned company. First of all, catalogue for 2016: http://www.ibgmodels.com/2016_IBG_cat.pdf New models for 2016. Otter Light Reconnaissance Car Chevrolet C60S with Holmes breakdown Stridsvagn m/38 Swedish light tank Stridsvagn m/39 Swedish light tank Stridsvagn m/40 K Swedish light tank Stridsvagn m/40 L Swedish light tank TYPE89 Japanese Tank, Early TYPE89 Japanese Tank, Mid-production TYPE89 Japanese Tank, Hybrid-production TYPE89 Japanese Tank, Late TYPE89 Japanese Tank, Diesel KTO Rosomal should be released in 2017 - confirmed in Facebook comment: https://www.facebook.com/ibgmodels/posts/925698510885127?comment_id=925742320880746&comment_tracking={%22tn%22%3A%22R%22}

    I have made some comparison on scalemates (both in 1/72). Yes, I'm aware that margin of error may be huge and it's risky to make any conclusion. Defiant (both boxes): 46 wishlist (one mine), 110 bought, 14 completed. Fabric winged Hurricane (3 boxes): 48 wishlist, 237 bought (one mine), 42 completed.

    Hataka now is offering a S.C.C. No. 15 Olive Drab (HTK-A110). I would be grateful for sharing opinion about its accuracy.
  13. Botan
    Indeed. Those are going to be a short-runs?

    From Airfix Aerodrome (http://www.airfix.com/uk-en/news/aerodrome/at-home-with-the-historic-aircraft-collection/): Is that a suggestion? I really hope so.
  15. Botan
    Is it a bit too early for 2017 new tooling news, isn't it? It may be a new variant of existing tooling. Still a Beaufighter Mk VIF or Mk IIF can make for a nice news. Anyway, "mouth watering" - water - ship? I haven't made a guess for one, so now I say 1/350 U-class submarine.

    More news from FtF Source: http://www.network54.com/Forum/47210/message/1456198583/First+to+Fight+2016

    This: Retooling of old Airfix Fiat G.50 is a good idea too. Can we count Faire Battle to Battle of Britain too? It was used (also by Polish squadron) in operations against shipping massed in the Channel ports for Operation Sealion.

    For some reason Revell made a series of their 1/72 and 1/76 AFV with World of Tanks game CD and bonus codes. Later WoT made a deal with Italeri. Off course things differs between places, countries and so on, but surprisingly even a WWII based games can add fans to airplanes, boats and models, when in fact they may be considered as a opposition to modelling. After all Japanese companies keep making anime based models for niche things which never existed. In the other worlds, I'm not sure if statement about younger people being interested only in cars is a little bit too radical. Other example is Skyfall helicopter from Italeri. I think companies are trying to get new people to hobby.

    This photo is in my copy of Zumbach book. There is other where soldiers and Zumbach are standing and according to description, "bomber de Havilland Dove" is visible in backround, code KAT-22 is visible on tail.

    Looking by previous releases, that is not a very important factor, because those are good sellers, so Airfix will earn anyway. Good point with P-47, I have checked and Tamiya made P-47D "Razorback" too, but Airfix may do some earlier model. Just too make things clear, those first are my guess for the most probable, not my wishlist.

    I bet one of those in 1/72: Vickers Wellington B.III Republic P-47 Thunderbolt (razorback) Messerschmitt Me 262 Messerschmitt Me 109F Arado Ar-196 Lysander Battle

    What about Katanga? I have read Jan Zumbach (commander of both those air forces) autobiography (Mister Brown: Aventures dans le ciel / On Wings of War: My Life as a Pilot Adventurer / Ostatnia walka: Moje życie jako lotnika, przemytnika i poszukiwacza przygód) and so both are tempting for me. If I am correct one Dove was used as a improvised bomber in Katanga.

    So far there is nothing about Zrinyi, unless it is a secret item. I see Stridsvagn m/40L 72036 have picture of tank in Dominican service. I hope decals fot that one will be included. Source: http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27426&start=3840

    There is a photo of Landsverk L-60 (if I am correct with type) from IBG. http://data4.primeportal.net/models/thomas_voigt10/ibg/images/ibg_6_of_6.jpg
