Abakan

From what I know their main distributor did not pay the bills to sell them and sack the money to avoid bankrupsy. That did not work out in the end and it killed both the distributor and Huma ( HUhn ModellbAu ). Mister Huhn is iirc still alive but does not plan to release any of his kits anymore.

@Mike Thank you for this excellent review. Will order a copy for myself

No Foto of the transparencies? I know they often get forgotten to add, but it's still a stain on a otherwise excellent review. I for one am thinking about getting one, so the quality of the canopy parts is important to me

T9? Didn't the Wanderzirkus Rosarius used T9 as well??

Not all of them, that's for sure. But better to have too many than none.

Well, missed the first round of them. So no A-4M nor OA-4M for me. Thankfully I had one original Fujimi OA-4M in stock A-4 addicted me did order some of them others tho 15 B 13 C 16 E/F When the OA and M come out again I will get 5 / 15+

My bet is that it will be their G-10. A G-6 would require a complete retooling of fuselage, cockpit and wings. So I guess Revell won't do that.

Actually I got this box https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hasegawa-65365-focke-wulf-ta152h-1--325988

That is definitely "NOT" aka almost entirely correct. I know as I got TWO of them the last time I was in Tokyo. I did get the Dragon kit in Hasegawa boxes. 1/72, not 1/48. However I agree that the Aoshima Kit is the one to look for. I hunted down as many as I would while in Japan and got a total of six. Pretty cheap too, about 10 Dollars each.

I agree with everything Vesa said. Why waste your time and effords on a turd like the Italeri G-6 to bring it to G-2 standard? Get the Finemolds one and be glad you did. If you can't get one then go with the AZ one, which also is a bazillion times better than the crap Italeri spew out. The Heller kit is good for nostalgic reasons, the Italeri not even that.

They really, really made me cranky a few years ago when I got one of their 1/72 Bf109G6 kits ( for nostalgic reasons, I like theblack 12+- and did not know about scalemates back then ). When I opened the tiny box I found the godawful old Airfix kit in there. Needless to say I was NOT amused. But their Bf109B/C is my favorite 1/72 Bf109 ( and I have a metric ton of AZ, Finemolds, Tamiya, Hasegawa kits in my stash )

I for one would love to finally get my hand on a couple of Bf109G12 trainers. I remember they were scheduled for October 2017....

Seems to be lost with all hands on board. Up to 20 death. https://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/20-Dead-In-Swiss-JU-52-Crash-231329-1.html Damn, I flew with them twice and at least the second flight for sure was on HB-HOT.

I agree, buying from AZ/KP from outside the EU means NO tax. Which also means no tax to sales for customers with shipping addresses in Norway and Switzerland ( and soon the UK )

Not to be a downer on this stunning piece of art, but I really have some doubts that the Hs123 still did use the splinter camo in 1944. Wasn't it all gone on frontline planes by 1940?
