Jan Polc Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Space Ranger - many thanks. Also to KRK4m for your info about Bobcat/Crane, which are very useful. We plan some four boxes, so we can expect civilian and military birds, for everybody something. Space Ranger - can you contact me please on [email protected] or [email protected] as I would like to consult some points with you during my work on the project.

It must be really better than the Heller one! I think those might be Heller reboxes, they've re-released a number of other Heller kits. That said, I'm pretty excited about the Mohawk IV and Cessna Crane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ! Edit: Jan just said obviously the Dewotoine are from new moulds, I take it tho the Pavla kit was taken as a guide and then corrected and improved.. http://www.pavlamodels.cz/katalogy/detail.php?k=akk&c=72065 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have their 510. I still prefer Heller's rather subtle raised detail to Pavla's trenches in the wings and fuselage. I am still to investigate the accuracy of both kits but I think I have some nit-picker's review of the Heller kit in an old Fana. The Pavla kit was reviewed in Réplic, I think.

JWM Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Since I am walking trips around, not stright, I am most waiting for Aero 304 Lavochkin "razor back" looks very promising but maybe there was also announcement by some Ukrainian company (?). 11 hours ago, Procopius said: Neat! I hope there'll be markings for some of the ones the Poles flew in 1940. Fast googling result - there were 4 places where Poles used D 510: the eight Polish key in Caen, the tenth 10. Polish key in La Rochelle, the GC III/9 and in flying school at Bron airfield in Lyon. I do not remeber any scheme - anyway here are individual histories if known https://www.passionair1940.fr/Armee de l'Air/Appareils/Chasse/Dewoitine-D510/EN-Historiques-2.htm I hope it can help Regards J-W Edited January 28, 2020 by JWM mispelling corrections 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 The Mohawk IV even has the markings I fancy doing one in. The Dewotine looks interesting, I fancy the one that the A&AEE had in the late thirties, does anyone know if it ever carried its allocated British serial.

Jan Polc Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Morning gentlemen, interesting to read your conversation with guesses what kits will be in the boxes. Let me answer in a short - Cessna Crane - original Pavla kit was very innaccurate, so KP one is new mould. Canopy is injected. Dewoitine 500/501/510 - the same as with Cessna Crane/Bobcat Storch - Heller/Smer rebox MarkoZG - nothing new in the subject you were asking for 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrahs Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Is Gripen a new tool? Different plastic for A and C versions or just different decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
