Seahawk Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Now you've done the Fairchild Provider/Argus, have you any plans to do a Stinson Reliant? AFAIK there's only one rather crude resin offering to compete against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Model Yakovlev-1B, we left the company FLY. Hi Petr! It sounds like you are very busy, and that's good! Do you have any news from FLY regarding the Yak-1b? Thank you, and best regards for 2013! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 How I'd wish to see new molds for classic russian airplanes of WWII, such as: 1/72 Lavochkin La-5/La-7 1/72 Yak-7/Yak-9 1/72 Tupolev Tu-2 1/72 Petliyakov Pe-2 1/72 Ilyushin Il-4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Millman Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Ki-102 sounds great but if it is based on the Pavla moulds I hope the cockpit bulkheads, fuselage halves and canopy will be adjusted for a better fit! Also an Army Air Test Centre option included in the markings rather than dodgy what-if's. A Ki-119 please and a P-40F/L family with modular parts and Hasegawa-type engineering of the side windows which are always a pain! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveCS Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 As I'm still building the Pavla Airspeed Oxford, I can only hope that the AZ version will not just be using the same old Pavla molds with new decals. While the Pavla kit wasn't "bad" there are areas that need to be improved upon. I love the subject matter of the Pavla kits but I just didn't like the inconsistency of the molding and the thickness of the trailing edges on some of the kits (Cessna Crane being the other kit I've built). Looking forward, however, to whatever AZ can do with these birds as they are/were sorely needed among the plethora of Spits and 109s Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lampie Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 The P47B has been on the cards for a long time now. Hopefully, the longer nose, bulged keel, and late D model cowl flaps are just a mistake on the profile and not on the actual kit. Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) How I'd wish to see new molds for classic russian airplanes of WWII, such as: 1/72 Lavochkin La-5/La-7 1/72 Yak-7/Yak-9 1/72 Tupolev Tu-2 1/72 Petliyakov Pe-2 1/72 Ilyushin Il-4 God bless you! At last - some support for my lonely crusade! A loud "YES!!!" for the La-5 series, Yak-7, and Yak-9. Throw in the I-153 and R-5, too. I am just curious - what is wrong with ICM's Tu-2, Valom's Yak-7 and UM's Pe-2 ? Well, the Valom Yak-7 kits are short-run, with all that implies. Rumour (supported by comparison of the two) has it that the Valom Yak-7 was "based on" the Dakoplast Yak-7, which, despite the fact that it came from steel molds and was a very worthy kit when it was originally released, is a somewhat challenging build. I certainly won't slag Dakoplast - his kits were a blessing 15 years ago. I'm not much into twin-engined types; AFAIK, ICM's Tu-2 is good, but for whatever reason, Hobby Boss is supposed to be doing a brand new kit; not sure what scale, though. Let's face it - with enough effort, any kit can be made to look awesome. Proof of that in abundance can be found in the build and Ready for Inspection forums on this and other sites. I guess all we want is just a small slice of the new-tool pie on which Spitfire and Bf-109 lovers gorge themselves so regularly, so we can build models of the aircraft that we love instead of re-engineering obsolete kits!

-Neu- Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) We must now finish the unfinished models from our catalog. Already'm preparing forms for Fiat CR-32 (HQT), Airsped Oxford (new SR), Kawasaki Ki-102 (SR), Boeing P-26 (new SR) and recently also contribute to renew-line models "Luftwaffe 46". We are ready for the first form of this edition and the Gotha Model P-60C-1 ( new SR) and Gotha P-60G-1(new SR). Everything is of course 1/72. Hello Petr. I don't at all want to criticize your business decisions, so please don't feel upset at my comments. I understand that Luftwaffe 1946 kits will probably sell well, and you are a business. I've been buying your kits faithfully for the past few years and am impressed by how you've improved. However I find it somewhat sad that aircraft designs that would probably never have even flown (like the Gotha and Lippisch designs), would be considered more popular sellers than aircraft that legitimately won WWII for Russia. Personally I have very little interest in Luft1946 kits; most would have never seen service because they could not even be flown. The USAF, the RAF and the Russian tested many of them after the war and found them utterly dangerous and impractical. Again, I don't want to question your business decisions, but I hope you don't release too many kits from the Luftwaffe 1946. Most of the practical designs have already been covered by other makers, particularly Revell of Germany. What you have left here are increasingly impractical and ridiculous designs. Considering the massive gap in Soviet aircraft, I would hope that you see that as a major avenue of growth instead... one which is more likely to attract a broader array of customers. That is my hope and I have no market research to support that. The way I see it is that your company is basically now the top supplier of injection molded Spitfires in the world. In the future, I would rather see you be the top supplier of Soviet WWII aircraft than Luft 1946. Edited January 1, 2013 by -Neu- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 AFAIK, ICM's Tu-2 is good, ... It probably would be if you persevere to the end but it's a challenging build. ICM were very ambitious in that construction (spars, etc) mirrors the real thing: I remember it as the only 2-engined aircraft kit I can think of which could be built to stand on its undercarriage without using any of the wing halves. Also that it came liberally coated in lubricating oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter AZmodel/Admiral Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Dear friends, I give you ... Answer in turn: To: Dave and Nick. You and all I really want to write that we will never PAVLA models issue in its original state or from the original molds. Everything is completely new. We repair all shapes and technological errors original master models, which we all buy from the company PAVLA. To: John Thompson. Unfortunately, more of the Yakovlev-1B I do not know. George, the owner of the company stating that produce this year. For: Lampie: Yes, we are a little wait. Now fully working on this project, P-47 Early family. For Neu: Yes, I know that the models are not for everyone Luftwaffe46 good. We use one of our new machine purchased for injection in such projects and various boundary types. Here we have spare capacity. On this machine, the models produced a new short run technology, which is slightly better surface quality molding and endure for several pieces. In this series we are planning to be interesting for you, Martin Baker MB.5, Saunders Roe SR.53, Miles M.20, and more. Ride on these already partially working. For:.Viscount. Unfortunately, here you displease. Yet only 1/72. Miles Master in 1/48 is currently only possible future. For: VPPelt68. Well, nothing is impossible.

upnorth Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I hope you will try some more Czech civil types in the future. The Let L-200 Morava was a wonderful surprise and I would love to see a new 1/72 kit of the Aero Ae-45 and Ae-145 to replace the Amodel kits. I would also like to see the 1/72 Aero L-159 ALCA that was listed as a future release for so long on your web page become a reality. Now that there is a user for the L-159 other than the Czech air force, is there a better chance for us to see a kit of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hello Petr, I`ve bought most of your kits over the years and have been impressed with the way that you have been progressing, I like most of your subject choices too. I`m not very interested in Russian or German subjects but really like the British and US stuff. I`d love you to do; -Hurricane Mk.IIb (Your other Hurricanes are THE best on the market by a long mile) - Stinson Reliant - Beech C-54 Expeditor - Any inter war Fleet Air Arm biplanes- especially the Fairey IIIF - Blackburn Botha -Curtiss Mohawk -Martlet/Wildcat Mk.IV -De Havilland Hornet (with due respect the Special Hobby/MPM kit was not amongst their best!) -De Havilland Devon/Dove also, could you possibly release a revised replacement canopy for your 1/48th Vengeance as the one in the kit was quite wrong?!! I hope that the list isn`t too long, All the best and please keep up the good work, Tony O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
