Julien Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Posted on Detail & Scale's Facebook page: IMPORTANT!!!! A model kit company has requested that Detail & Scale help them determine the potential interest and demand for a kit they are considering producing. They have requested that we ask the following question: WHAT INTEREST WOULD YOU HAVE FOR A KIT OF THE GRUMMAN F11F-1 TIGER IN 1/48th AND 1/32nd SCALE? The company has asked and will be watching the responses here. So now is your chance to let your voice and desires be heard. If you would like to see a kit of the F11F-1 Tiger in either of these scales, please click the "LIKE" button for this post, and please feel free to post your comments below. https://www.facebook.com/milavnarc 1:48 HELL YES! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Not on FaceBook but Yes IN 48th We all know it makes sense. Just make sure they talk to the right people before committing to cutting metal. Tommy Thomason, Navybird et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Well if they are talking to Detail & Scale I am sure they are putting them in touch with the right people. Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Drawings are an interpretation of a real aircraft. CAD model is an interpretation of the drawings. The right people can throw tons of good reference at the designer, there's no guarantee that he won't misinterpret it or overlook some aspects of it. The right people should check the model during its design but the designer may not accept this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airfixer Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Kitty hawk maybe in the future, we will make all 1/32 kits in 1/48 and visa/versa So let's take 'em by their words... Sort of odd decision to release the 1/32nd kit first, somewhat contrasting to the common folk's predominant request for a quarterscale version. Anyway, I'm eager to see them progressing - another all-time favourite of mine forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 We live in hope it can come back in 1.48. Pretty sure there might be a market in 1.48. Would be a shame to just throw away the research done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8fan Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) This kit would have looked great in 1/32nd, but, hopefully all the work done so far can lead to a 1/48th. I agree that there may be a better market in 1/48th. Edited May 17, 2015 by Av8fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc2324 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 If you are on Facebook, join the Kittyhawk group and voice your opinion if you want to see this in 1/48. Every `vote` may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The FM 1/48th Tiger isnt a bad model ( by their standards!!) But it's hard to find and pricey on eBay now. Id say a 1/48th kit would sell OK. Jonners - but I am a Tiger fan!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Uncool Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 So,iIs it to be in 1/32nd scale then? Me nay happy. Woulda liked it in 1/48th scale instead... Yeh, me woulda. Especially, 'em long-nosey version. Yeh, the Fonderie Models kit is quite good, but pricey ('n' nosey, like my sis ), as my mate Jonners has stated it himself. Cheers, Unc2 <----- (nay feelin' too well now). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikitzer Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hello, everyone, Need your help with finding photos of the F11F-1 Long Nose with the following units: F11F-1 LN with the VF-51 (July 58); F11F-1 LN with the VF-24 (Dec 58) or / and with the VF-211 (Mar 59); F11F-1 LN with the VF-111/ VA-156 (Dec 59)? Any pointers where I can find such photos? I saw some graphic images/artworks on the Internet done on some of the F11F-1s with these units/squadrons but cannot find the photos that might were used by the artist to create his artworks on... Please help? And yes, we are developing an F11F-1 Long Nose model kit in few scales... https://www.facebook.com/people/DBMK-Model-Kits/100084846155184/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hello Bikizer no photos but a link and graphics and maybe a contact to ask in Switzerland. http://www.wings-aviation.ch/21-USNavy/Grumman-F11F/Tiger.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
