1/72 - Fletcher FU-24 Utility resin kit by Aeropoxy - released
k5054nz replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
I'm the one who asked Unicraft to kit the Fletcher back in the early 2010s - I am so pleased we have a new, much better alternative to that kit. Thank you Aeropoxy! It looks terrific! I dearly hope you consider a 1/48 version in the future, and perhaps the PAC Cresco. -

Excellent news! I know several people who will be very happy with this! -
Airfix 1/72 P-51D Mustang simplified starter kit - due Spring 2024
k5054nz replied to klr's topic in The Rumourmonger
I've been building model kits for more than 30 of my almost 37 years on this Earth and the announcement of this kit was as exciting to me as any of the standard kits in the 2024 range that caught my attention. I'm very keen to build one alongside the "normal" Mustang and see how that goes (it's been a while since I last built that mould and have a project in mind that requires several P-51Ds posed in flight). -
Excellent news for Sabre fans! It looks like a gorgeous kit. The dream is alive and my extremities are crossed!

XP849 is one of the decal options? Sign me up!! -
1/72 - Westland Wasp HAS.1 by LF Models - released
k5054nz replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
The kit looks superb, well done to all involved! I predict a few will be making their way to New Zealand! We loved our Wasps. -
Hi all, I'd love to build a model of a friend's North American T-28C in 1/72 but I'm unsure of the best way to go about it. I've previously built the Heller kit which was loads of fun but I know it represents a different variant. What's the best combination of kit and aftermarket to represent this aircraft in 1/72?

1/72 - Atreides Ornithopter (Dune) by Meng - April 2024
k5054nz replied to GMK's topic in The Rumourmonger
With any luck that and the Harkonnen version will follow...and dare I hope for a worm kit? I hear the Revell one released to tie in with the David Lynch film is less than awesome... -
Eduard new P40 familiy in a next future (1/48?)
k5054nz replied to GioCare's topic in The Rumourmonger
😍 I don't really have words for how excited I am for this series. -
I remember a History Channel documentary (Planes That Never Flew, maybe?) that had an episode all about this. I might be keen to snag one! It looks very cool with the tiptanks.

Also, it's the versions with the 20" fuselage extension but the fuselage halves in that photo appear to be the original, shorter ones.

Tori Factory 'tactical cat'.....more bad cheese?
k5054nz replied to Bozothenutter's topic in The Rumourmonger
I love this so much and didn't realise it was based on a real "tacticat"! -
I have been contemplating a IIa in 1/72 so this is great news.

That's probably what I'll end up doing, but I'd kick myself several times if I did it then Eduard followed up with their own! There were plenty of other, far more talented photogs at Reno last year but for what it's worth here are my photos of Thunderbird.

Am I alone in hoping for a racer boxing, preferably with Thunderbird? She's just so pretty and with her having been recently restored to flight I expect it would sell well.
