Avgas Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) I stumbled on these pics while browsing Photobucket. Can anybody, who'se seen these pics before, tell me which current or more likely forthcoming kit this is? From a Bucc non experts point of view, it looks a helluva kit, whatever it is !!

Max Headroom Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) This may be the near mythical Trumpeter or whoever CAD by (I think Song). Much discussion on this forum as to whether it's to be 1/48 or 1/32 or will ever exist anyway!

kev67 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 What ever it is, as long as its not 1/24 scale as I don't think scratcher would be best pleased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed a link from a pic 'song' posted on ARC (Mirage F1 CAD) and found this in a folder on his profile. Must be that kit then. I hope it's ok to post them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 ......but still no clue as to scale! Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Boy Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I hope it's 1:48 so that the Airifx offering can be put into it's grave!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pte1643 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I hope it's 1:48 so that the Airifx offering can be put into it's grave!!! Yup, me too. Then I wouldn't have to keep refusing to bid 40 bleedin' quid on fleabay to land one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Boy Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Yup, me too. Then I wouldn't have to keep refusing to bid 40 bleedin' quid on fleabay to land one. I hear ya! I've built one and yes it came out not too shaby but it is very much let down by the cockpit, decals and trenches for panel lines. Please oh please let the photos be true for 1:48!!!!

Albeback52 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 If it is the near mythical Trumpeter kit, I suspect the reason for it's non appearance is likely due to them having had enough of nit picking know alls who condemn all things Trumpeter before even plastic is pressed between steel! Of course, it could be the up coming,completely re-tooled 1/48 Airfix kit that they have kept secret until now!! (IF ONLY!!) . Don't think I could really handle a 1/32 scale Bucc. The real thing is huge! You don't really appreciate how big until you get up close and personal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Well, that's either a 1/48 kit, or the guy in the first pic is 10 feet tall with hands to match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchem Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Have to admit to be growing a bit sceptical about mock-ups and CAD drawings. Remember the flurry of pics about Kitty Hawk's Mirage F-1 family ? The F-1B has arrived but the single seater seems to have disappeared off the radar. (Having said that, I'm not really sure if the F-1B has arrived because it doesn't seem to be readily available in the UK at present - Big H are still advertising it as due in January 2013 !) The JAS-39 seems to be on hold too, and then out of the blue, a 1/48 Foxbat appears with a planned release date of May '13 (subsequently postponed to July according to one web-site). I can't help wondering if we'll be lucky enough to see these kits in the near future ? ...and then there's the GWH Mig-29. We know it exists because we've seen in-box reviews, and I'd love to have one, but they even seem to be scarce in the Far East these days. It's not just the stuff with wings either. I've had the Trumpeter BTR-80 APC on my watching list since 24 August 2011 and it's still only listed for release sometime in 2013. Sorry for appearing pessimistic, but a new Bucc in 1/48 and loaded with so much detail ??? Hope I'm wrong........

cardiff guy Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I have a theory gent this if the even more fabled cyber hobby 72nd scale kit.....yeah right but i can hope. Glenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Mr Song is now going hell-for-leather giving us new tools of kits that we've always wanted, under the guise of Kitty Hawk models, so it's not entirely unlikely that he might reanimate this old project. All we have to do is be patient... In the meantime, you just have to keep your fingers crossed If that sounds like I know something you don't, it's completely unintentional. I have no foreknowledge of anything Bucc shaped in any scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we have to do is be patient... In the meantime, you just have to keep your fingers crossed You could be right, the Jag mock ups were released under the Trumpeter brand and then the subsequent model was released by KittyHawk. So we may see a Buccaneer eventually.Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
