  1. Id love that too! Some of their earlier ones are now hard to get and they were quite nice kits. Similarly (and this is a stretch) as Fujimi has a 1/20 pedigree, it would make sense for them to buy and release the old Ebbro models (but that is all wishlisting from my side)
  2. Don't worry. The MiG-15 and 17 are coming and so is the 21-F13 so the 19 is the logical gap to fill afterwards. I also just finished the Trumpeter MiG-19PM so no doubt a much better 19 will arrive soonish.
  3. I agree. A set of new tires and a small sprue to fix the most glaring mistakes of Protar would go a long way. I thi k they are the only ones keeping the 1/12 scale alive. 1/20 (my scale) has died a death, so at least it is good someone still fun.
  4. That loooks goood! That engine is so great I can almost hear it.
  5. It has. To bring it on topic. Italeri has released the 1/12 Bugatti Roadster for pre-sale. I think it is great that they are committed to the scale and the model group of popular pre-war racecars. I am very jealous as their previously released cars are masterpieces.
  6. See here: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/clear-prop-tba48-2024a-boeing-f4b--1575486
  7. Nice work nick! It's amazing that MFH kits can be improved upon. But they can be, I can see. Hope for more
  8. Great progress so far! These old merit kits had a lot of charm for their day.
  9. Oh wow Oh dear oh dear. The idea of having an A,B and C standing next to each other is very, very tempting.
  10. Thats not likely. AMP has already released the Supermarine S.6B, S.6A and if you look at the decal sheet, there are decals for an S.6 as well. It would not be their thing.
  11. Rather shoddy work on the demo model. Also, it seems they could not decide if it should be a D or E model??
  12. I know it was a joke, but I could not help myself, as the request was valid…
  13. Oh yeah, that is so annoying. Why do they insist on selling and promoting some obscure ”black jack” or “red baron”. Revell is one of the remaining companies whose kits are sold in general hobby stores (as opposed to model shops) and toystores and they keep peddling obscure versions no one cares about. Give me a Tornado with Desert Storm markings and take my money. That is a real failing, though. You can make a kit as good as you like, but no-one will buy it if you give it a boxing no-one cares about. Yes, specialists like us can hunt for aftermarket parts, but we are not Revell’s target audience, the beginners are and they want satisfaction out of the box. Desert storm is something everyone knows and remembers, but some “red baron” tribute from some air show ten years back? who knows of that?
