1/48 - Boeing B-17G by HK Models - Release Oct 19
Richard123 replied to Sidders's topic in The Rumourmonger
No apologies needed Unc2 (sorry, haven't sorted superscript yet). I find the Monogram chat interesting and didn't know DMold did a correction for the Thud. Does anyone have a release date for the B-17 yet please? -
1/48 - Boeing B-17G by HK Models - Release Oct 19
Richard123 replied to Sidders's topic in The Rumourmonger
I was hoping to read about the HK B-17 when I opened this thread but all I find is talk about how good/bad Monogram kits are! Can we get back to the point please. Why not open another thread to discuss Monogram? -
Only ten years to go before I retire, don't think the pension will stretch to many of those. Think I'll stick to Hasegawa and Daco.

1/32 - model in development by Wingnut Wing ?
Richard123 replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
Wingnuts 30270 to 32076 inclusive are all Sopwiths, all Camels except 32073 which is the Dolphin, so my money's on another Camel. -
I was just looking through the Wingnut Wings kit listing and noticed there are a few gaps in the box numbers. 32032 and 32033 for instance are missing from the list. The 0/400 is 32039 so I wonder what may be in the pipeline. Assuming the numbers were assigned to a project we may have some larger kits on their way judging by the time the kit's have taken to reach an announcement, or lack of. The smaller kits seem to be released almost in number order, the exceptions are the bigger kits, Lancasters for instance. On a sadder note, maybe they just got canned.

The Gannet is back....and more. 1/48 AEW

Why the Palouste for the Gannet please? -

Richard123 replied to bentwaters81tfw's topic in The Rumourmonger
Spoke to Alan at the Huddersfield show, couldn't meet a nicer bloke with such enthusiasm! The Gannet looks fantastic but I can't wait for the Hastings. Hopefully he might consider a Varsity. -
Fantastic Plastic: 1/48 Lifting Bodies & much much more!
Richard123 replied to The Tomohawk Kid's topic in The Rumourmonger
Check wikipedia, apparently both appeared but I"ll go with the HL-10 serial 804. Nice one, I stand corrected! -

Need a Steve Austin figure for the HL-10! -
750€ for the kit then 75€ for the flaps! That's ridiculous when you compare it to the cost of the HK 1/32 Lancaster and a bit cheeky, I think, to charge extra for the flaps. I can get a Wingnut Wings kit for the cost of the flaps alone and probably 3 of their Lancasters, when it's finally released, for the cost of the Dakota.

I find it difficult to believe anything that's posted from AMK any more. They announced this kit over 4 years ago, I suspect it didn't take Grumman that long to build the real thing, and there's still no sign of it; same story with the G-91. Think I'll stick with the Tamiya kit and fit aftermarket flaps; as for the Gina I'll try the 1:32 scale kit from DayGlo.

Wingnut Wings 1/32 Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin announced and released!
Richard123 replied to fjdsouza94c's topic in The Rumourmonger
Looks like the next release from Wingnut Wings will be a Sopwith Dolphin. http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/news Apologies but this has already been posted, I'll delete the post when I work out how to do it. -
I hope they mean test shots Jan 1018.

May's 1/12 Mystery Kit from MFH (Ferrari 156/85?)
Richard123 replied to ICMF's topic in The Rumourmonger
Can't be the 1990 car as they carried numbers 1 & 2. Prost was champion in '89. -
I'd wait for the final boxing. I looked through the box with the the help of one of the Airfix people and neither of us could find the normal bomb doors. I live in hope they were just missing from that box otherwise it looks like we're looking at a wait for a standard bomber. I hope they don't release alternate parts as they did for the Valiant.
-
Checked the sprues in the box and I couldn't find a bomb door part other than the Blue Steel type.

AMK 1:48 Super Etendard - on hold. Do you still want it?
Richard123 replied to Mike's topic in The Rumourmonger
No thanks, I'd rather see something different please. -
Quite fancied one of these but that leaves rather a nasty taste. Don't think I'll be spending anything with Tanmodel.

Looks like Swordfish and Skuas to me. Unless the Russians fired on the Ark and it was hushed up. Looks like explosions in the water on the boxart.
