  1. Nope, Eagle’s Call boxing that you mention was announced to be scheduled for August (in time for US IPMS Nationals), so they still have time.
  2. There's no need for rumours from Polish forum, this information is included in the topic's title....
  3. As usual with H2K reboxings, we get Cartograf-printed decals and masking foil made by PMask.

  4. Yes, definitely. Inbox review of Kit #48008 MiG-15bis/Lim-2, prototype decal sheets shown (the real ones are being printed by Cartograf right now): https://www.kfs-miniatures.com/1-48-mig-15bis-lim-2-hobby-2000/
  5. A bunch of reboxings coming out in late February 2021 from Hobby 2000: Kit #48005 MiG-15/Lim-1 (feat. marking options for 3 Polish & 1 Bulgarian a/c) Kit #48006 MiG-15/S-102 (feat. marking options for Soviet, Czechoslovak and Polish a/c) Kit #48007 MiG-15bis/S-103 (feat. marking options for Czechoslovak, East German, Romanian and Egyptian a/c) Kit #48008 MiG-15bis/Lim-2 (feat. marking options for Polish, East German & Hungarian a/c)
  6. First go and read what you have written about Eduard and Special Hobby's Bf 109E on this forum, and then accuse others of "garbage prose".
  7. Here you go then: https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/shop/new-for-2021/vickers-wellington-mk-ii.html
  8. Sorry, one 'I' too much - 'Du doch nicht' will include a D.VII. I believe that the 1/72 version will be based on this earlier 1/48 kit: https://www.eduard.com/eduard/du-doch-nicht!!-1-48.html Theoritically they have an Albatros D.V to include as well, but the profiles included in the December issue of Info show only a D.VII and Dr.I. About the Emil prototype included in the Zurich boxing, in December issue VS says Bf 109V14 and in January - V13. Perhaps he's undecided yet

  10. Depends on the version, I guess. Here's an inbox review of H2K Kit #72035: https://www.kfs-miniatures.com/1-72-tbm-3-3e-avenger-early-hobby-2000/
  11. This is their own mould design. Otherwise, speaking about two kits, I meant this one and Brengun's one which was also shown today and doesn't look promising either.
  12. Problem is that neither of the two kits shown today looks to be made up to modern standards...
  13. After the successful re-release of the TBF/TBM-1C kits in late 2019 (which sold out in a few months, but may be brought back to the market next year), Hobby 2000 comes with another variant of the Avenger. As usual, the kits comprise Hasegawa plastic, Cartograf-printed decals, plus masking foil. Kit #72035 TBM-3/3E AVENGER Early is already available: Kit #72036 TBM-3E/A.S.Mk.IV Avenger should be released next month. It will additionally include resin arresting hook.
  14. Unlikely as it is a Stab III./NJG 5 machine (Schnaufer was with NJG 1 for the most of his career). I guess it might be Walter Borchers' mount at the beginning of 1944.
  15. D5+AA is one of Helmut Lent's machines; C9+AC belonged to Leopold Fellerer; 2Z+OP was the aircraft accidentally landed in Switzerland by Helmut Treynogga.
  16. New boxing from Hobby 2000: kit #72030 Hurricane Mk.I British Aces 1940:
  17. Please be precise in what you are calling a personal attack. Is citing a link to another thread where some bad games of certain manufacturer are proven and illustrated, is a personal attack? Do the customers not have right to know how the items they may be buying are created?
  18. Looking at the price for distributors, the end price may be lower, but then it's up to the resellers and importers how much they will want to earn
  19. The Polish wholesale company Hobby 2000 enters the 1/48 scale kit market with two reboxings of Hasegawa's P-40N Warhawk. We saw a limited re-release of the original Hase kit (JT88) earlier this year, and those who missed it can now choose between the two H2K boxings. Each features Cartograf-printed decals with two marking options and a basic mask sheet. Ref. 48001 P-40N Warhawk 'Aces of the 49th Fighter Group' Ref. 48002 P-40N Warhawk over CBI
  20. 1:72 BTR-50PK - and now I'm a happy camper.
  21. Reuploading the images as people often seem to ignore the links... This is a good news, though I hope that they've corrected some issues of Eduard 1/48 design, which apparently worked as a base for this.
  22. Yes, it is. Accidentally, another company wanted to rebox it and they were told by Dragon that for some period it won't be possible as they have such arrangement with someone else - so now we know this someone else is Revell.
