  1. 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.
  2. More news from FtF Source: http://www.network54.com/Forum/47210/message/1456198583/First+to+Fight+2016
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. They have said on facebook, that new airplanes will arrive near the end of this year. https://www.facebook.com/ibgmodels/posts/896946427093669
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. First To Fight news spotted - FlaK 20mm w/trailer - Polish Bofors 40mm AA - Polish Schneider 75mm (w/tires) - le.IG 75mm (w/tires) - Polish Praga RV Source: https://www.facebook.com/tankmodels/posts/1158572490827466 Polish Bofors is a nice addition to earlier released C2P
  13. Indeed, especially for Minor Axis (or just minor countries) fans. Set of Hungarian tanks, and even Attack will make a Slovak LT. vz.40.
  14. I have found photos of sprues on shops site here I would be nice see instruction, but there is no need to be hurry, I will get it eventually. It looks headlamp are hollow, which is nice.
  15. It's may be quite of offtopic here, but there is no general thread or specific for newest Roden 72nd scale Rolls-Royce car, it quite slipped under the radar. It was a good idea for adding Irish decals, I'm going to add it to my collection.
  16. Company subscribers got a email with information, that both "Biało-Czerwone Iskry" and Indian will get their own boxing.
  17. Today's update So neither Breguet Br.XIX or Potez XXV unfortunately.
  18. Could it be a suggestion? https://www.facebook.com/officialairfix/photos/a.80699376270.112940.65102591270/10153623219681271/?type=3&theater
  19. Looks that I found an explanation. Apparently older instruction for this decal set (I have a newer one) had a olive drab instead of red. http://modelingmadness.com/scott/decals/br/br400.htm
  20. What do you mean by "it wasn't red"? I have both decals from Blue Rider and Huma model in stash by the way, what a lucky coincidence
  21. Waiting for MkVIF and Mk.II though. Mk.VIF can even get American camouflage
  22. I wonder if there is a chance that Airfix will make a a new Soviet or French plane.
  23. Yes and no, it was known that B5N1 will follow B5N2 since March, but not officially from Airfix http://www.aviationofjapan.com/2015/03/airfix-nakajima-b5n-sprue-frames.html
  24. My bet: P-47 Razorback, if not then it's a new variant of P-40 or P-51.
  25. Yes, LOT Polish Airlines bought 7 NC-701 in 1946, later those were given to army and used to prepare photogrammetric map of whole country.
