Finally, A C-9A I can build!
-
New USAF Spec-ops bird. Now we really need a kit! Hey, Italeri, help us out!

Is this "New" or is it an updated Italeri kit? Either way, Coool! I never got one of the Italeri, so I'll be looking for this.
-
Finally! I can hardly wait. One small ask - could you please include the recon pod the Orao carried as a recon aircraft? This fills another of my wants. Neat!!!
-
There was a mixed media Vac and plastic kit from Aeroclub many moons ago but try and find one. It will be great to have a Mainstream kit to work from. Now if Italeri will just do an HH-3E... Ah, the eternal dream.
Cheers!

How about a Dodge Weapons Carrier series including a WW II "Meat Wagon" in 1/48th!!! There are soooo many different things to do with a WC. I know I'm whistling in the dark here but somebody should listen to this one, as it's a license to print money!!!

I've been lobbying Tamiya for several years to do a 1/48 Dodge WC 54 Meat Wagon. The molds could easily be modified into a Dodge Weapons Carrier, Command Car, 37mm Anti-Tank Gun Carriage, etc., etc. To me this one would be a license to print money and would easily join the other 48th WWII kits for Armor and Aircraft Dioramas. Cheers!

How about an AOP 6 or 9 in 48th and 72nd. I know I'm asking a lot but I can dream...

You're welcome...
I just bought a MiG-19 from another manufacturer which I had planned to super detail. At least I hadn't finished it and had Clear Prop announce it. I'm sure this will be THE MiG-19 kit. Oh happy day!!!

Looks like a Me 163 too me!🙃 ;

Tried to build this with the RVHP kit. They had some nice schemes. The otherwise very nice vacform canopy was too high, stuck up above the fuselage behind. There was no way to drop the sill or reduce the height of the canopy at the bottom and still maintain accuracy so I tried building up the fuselage depth be hind it. Just couldn’t get rid of the swayback look. Gave up and substituted an Anigrand fuselage. At this point I had one very expensive Sabreliner. Kept the RVHP wings because they had the slats. Only problem there was that the slat tracks on one wing did not align at all with the recesses in the wing. The other wing was fine. Removed the slat tracks and replaced them with plastic strip on the offending wing. There were a lot of them and each had to be perfectly aligned. Life is too short!!! All worked out in the end but where were you when I needed you SWORD?
will undoubtedly get one for a more stress free build and without needing to take out a second mortgage (already on the wish list at the big H). Wonder if the OBSCURECO resin F-100 wing could be used if slats are lacking. I believe that the Sabreliner wing was based on that of the F-100.
Thanks for doing all that. You're the reason we're getting a kit. It never fails. When someone comes close to killing themselves on a build and finishes it, that's when a company announces a new from the ground up injection molded kit!!! I've seen this time and time again. Thanks for all your hard won work on this. You've made the modeling supreme sacrifice! Cheers! FTOSOTP

Can hardly wait. Too cool for words!!! Now if they'll do a C-140 my collection of military biz-jets I've always wanted will be complete! I've only wanted this for 25 years. Just super! Rock on Sword!!!

Wasn't the tail on the Airfix Sea Harrier too short as well. It seemed to me I read that somewhere. I'd like to have an FRS.1 but for now I'll stick with my Hasegawa kits. I think I've got 8 of them.

A really complete series would require 4 different sets of wings (early slatted, 6-3, F-40, Mk.6) and at least 5 fuselages (day fighters, D, K, H, Avon Sabre... assuming that the differences in the A and the Orenda powered variants would be covered by moudling the rear fuselage separately, otherwise it would mean 7 fuselages).
It would be a massive job ! Not that it would be a bad thing though, while 1/48 isn't my preferred scale I may be tempted myself by a few variants...
Only if they start with an accurate "K" model. I think they'd sell a bunch of those. Revell AG started to modify their D into a K. If you've never looked at the inside of the fuselage haves you can see the clear beginnings of work on the molds to do a K but I guess Revell found out what an extensive mod it would be and shelved the idea. Cheers!

AMT did a B-26 in 48th back in the day. Don't know what happened to the molds but haven't seen one in forever. I had one and it was nicely detailed with a well done interior, etc. If you can find one check it out. Cheers!

I can’t see it being the Fiat G-91, because it looked all ready to go until the shape issues were raised. And as this talks of new technologies not yet used in plastic modeling, I reckon this is absolutely anything but that. I hope it is the start of the Mirage F-1 family.
How about a G.91 Series. I'd go for a 2 seater and a "Y" in 48th!

Thank you everybody for your support and high expectations from Arma Hobby.
Just a note, that P-51D/K is already announced and expected in Autumn 2022.
Thanks Wojtek. I missed that one. Love your 'B' so I'm sure the 'D' will be a great kit.

Your all wrong. It's going to be a P-51D to follow their P-51B. But I'm never right so it's probably an A6M...or a Spitfire, or...an airplane!!! All I can say is it will be a cracker, if their P-51B is the bellwether of their current 72nd kits!!!

Cool... I had a "Keep Calm and Build Airfix" sign hanging in my shop. Looking forward to having one again to get back to building. I hope some of these make it across the pond. Cheers!!!

I'd like to know this as well. I'm pulling for an "A" model as I could finally do a Recon bird. Will be welcome no matter what.
