Excellent news. Hopefully they'll follow up with a Wasp. Edit. Oops. They are. Top notch.

1/72 - Vultee A-31/35 Vengeance by Dora Wings - released
Meatbox8 replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
Looks very nice. I built the old Frog kit a few years back, 45 sqn with SEAC roundels. Still pretty good for its age but this kit trumps it massively,I would imagine. I feel an Aussie one coming on with a white tail. I can recommend the book 'Vengeance!' by Peter C. Smith as a reference. An excellent read and he feels the type was massively underrated.- 27 replies

Maybe they will box it with the starter set Spit VC. That would make perfect sense.

My guess is sonething from Junkers in 1/72 and/or something from Republic in 1/48th.

Fantastic news. I've wanted a late Anson for years. Valom have been covering some great subjects recently.

I'm going to have to have one of those TT.20s.

1/72 Airfix Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 Starter kit.
Meatbox8 replied to Plastic Bonsai's topic in The Rumourmonger
All things considered it looks pretty nice from the photo. I don't have Typhoon kit as I rend to build things which are retired. Might be persuaded by this ( and their F-35) though. -
And there was me trying to avoid RAF helicopters for the sake of keeping the stash down.

If this a starter set it seems odd to release it as a Dogfight Double with their standard P-51D kit. Also, would there have been many 109Fs around in mid-44? Edit: just saw that the 51D is a new starter kit as well.
