    I want the Winnie Mae one, for sure. Looking forward to the Orion too.

    I wonder how many boxings there will be. I'm looking forward to the military one.

    You seem to have spent a considerable amount of time researching one plane, already. If you are concerned with how you spend your time, wouldn't sending them an email of your findings tack on additional meaning to your due diligence?

    I like the SNC-1 just as well and am very happy to hear it, don't get me wrong. I'll be picking up a copy myself, for sure.
  5. kopperhed
    Nice! I'll have to look up what the differences in the versions are

    Wow uh...good thing i didnt start my Sierra CW-21b. Perhaps they will come out with one down the line...
  7. kopperhed
    all very cool subjects, to be sure. Mars Models was working on a 1/48 Kharkiv KhAI-5

    I'm just overjoyed for a new P-35. Dora Wings makes some of the best subjects, keep up the good work.
  9. kopperhed
    Neat. That's something I would buy. It even compliments the Czech Model XP-56 because this seems to be the earlier version.
  10. kopperhed
    Neat. I would like to do one up as that endurance record bird.

    Certainly, this is one of those aircraft that you build for the sexy, sexy lines of the machine. Looking forward to getting my hands on the Special Hobby release.

    I look forward to a potential release of a Jumo-powered version.
  13. kopperhed
    Hey, that's real neat. I'd buy both versions, for sure.
  14. kopperhed
    Hot! I wonder how many different boxings there will be.
  15. kopperhed
    So, which version saw combat against Chinese pirates around Hong Kong?
  16. kopperhed
    Sold! An interesting aircraft from the golden age of aviation. What a time to be a modeler! I was just sanding down my shelf-queen CA kit. Maybe I'll finish both.

    I did buy the new Tamiya Spitfire and look forward to the fillet-less Eduard P-51. I'll gladly do my part and buy models if it might give them the chance of branching out and taking risks.

    I'm no economist and I don't run a model company, so I go by what I see. And I see new kits of new subjects being released. Yes, they are mostly limited run companies and have less to lose than a mainstream company but they run a risk as well. They could just be releasing what they want to see in scale but I doubt they don't seek out their customer bases and desires. I don't expect the rest of the existence of the modeling hobby to just be new pops of safe subjects. I am glad to see a new B-17G, as I've said, but is something different that unlikely?

    It's true, producing "109s, P-51s and Spitfires" is a safe business route and it's not wrong. But as a contributor on a board like Rumourmonger and the commercial success of the likes of MPM/Special Hobby, denying the potential of different subjects is strange opinion. As a modeling company, who are you listening to if you're not listening to modelers? What are you in this business for? Not listening to your customers seems like an unwise business decision.

    Are you talking about my investment in buying a kit? I would get endless hours of enjoyment, so yes I would. Are you talking about the manufacturer? That's naive thinking of you sir, considering today's scale model market.
  21. kopperhed
    Okay.
  22. kopperhed
    Dora Wings is doing good work. As a 48th scale mid-war fan all of this will keep me a customer for a long time. I've always been a fan of the Bellanca Aircruiser, though... hint hint.
  23. kopperhed
    I'm still excited about a new B-17. I'll still buy a G, as well as an E if they release one. But anyone who isn't a stick in the mud can see we sorely need a 17 C! 17 C! 17 C!
  24. kopperhed
    Chant with me! We want a B-17C! 17 C! 17 C! 17 C!
  25. kopperhed
    Neat. Will look good next to the Eduard Tsurugi.
