Are SH/A going to re-release this kit anytime soon? I missed it on the initial release.

1/48th - Douglas A2D Skyshark by Clearprop Models - Released

Just been confirmed. It is on the way. Can't wait to see it. Glad I hung onto my Ginter book on it when I sold my Dynavector kit. -

I can't see how to order it. -
The Rieth Creations new 3D printed Banshee set is quite a bit better than his previous set. While set 1.0 was good, 2.0 is better. No doubt that whomever releases the KH Banshee, the molds will not have been corrected.

I have a Hasegawa S2F-1 Tracker 1/72 scale I will never build. Old end flap boxing with USN decals. Sell it cheap. It is a pretty nice kit for it's age.- 45 replies

I'm sure they'll sell tens of them.

Well, Japan did not operate the F-4B so I think that argument doesn't hold too much water. In fact they didn't use the F-4C or D. Yet obviously they designed their molds to accommodate those versions with the B. I think it would be financially advantageous for Tamiya to complete the F-35 series and they do have a affinity for USN subjects.
-
I wonder if Tamiya has their F-35C in the wings ready to release since their B followed closely on the heels of their A. Maybe get the jump on the HB kit. The HB kit may be a scale down of the Trumpy F-35C of which I have not heard of too many issues with it.

Still waiting for them to release their second version of the Skyshark in 1/48. They have made the molds and have been sitting on them now for a few years.

Kitty Hawk also had a fairly accurate CAD finished of the F11F-1 Tiger. They were initially going to release it in 1/32 but I believe I recall them switching to doing it in 1/48 instead. They closed shop however before any metal was cut. At the time, I downloaded a copy of the cads they had done on it. I have them somewhere on my computer.

I have the Airfix -2 Banshee kit. I've also had the HC kit but it has been long ago. As I recall and from the photos here it was a pretty accurate kit if somewhat simple. The HAWK 1/48ish kit is from the mid 1950's and while some say it is accurate, it really is bad. It is more the the prototype and not a production version. I really like the Airfix kit.

No love for the F-35C in 1/48 except the Kitty Hawk kit.
