Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 So no Yaks and no Potez 25, or even any reasonable discussion thereof, despite widespread and long-term interest in both subjects.....What exactly is the point of this thread pray tell?

Procopius Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 To discuss the many, many other aircraft (most aeroplanes are neither Yak-9s or Potez 25s, I understand) that AZ might choose to grace us with? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Nope, that's clearly just a silly idea when there are Yak 9s & Potez 25s unkitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hello folks, It may have been discussed before. If so I apologise. I've just dragged a quite old RS Models Fairey Albacore (1/72), out of the stash. I'm fairly sure I'm not the only one that is fond of this rather forgotten old bird. She took part in quite a few important campaigns and featured many liveries, possible decal options, variants. Only one IM effort by MPM many years ago AFAIK. FAA: http://www.fleetairarmarchive.net/aircraft/Albacore.htm A new one would fit nicely in the Admiral range. Also, they would look lovely on our display shelves ATB TonyT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hang on. I forgot to mention the obvious. Because the Frog kit has been reboxed so many times I think we forget: We need a new Blackburn Shark. Really. It is so very, very overlooked and overdue. Floats, no floats, camo, no camo, British, Portuguese, Canadian. Seems an obvious seller to me. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackburn_Shark ATB TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 Well, please, we can discuss everything. I just wanted to stop long discussion about Yaks as really, there is no chance to do it under KP/AZ label. Sorry for that. Potez 25 is a plane wanted to do, but according information we have there is another company which has Potez in the pipeline and we made agreement with them, that we cease this project. So stay tuned. What is wrong with MPM/SH Albacore kit? I have it in my stash and it looks good to me.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Here's my take on it.....You guys actually appear to produce what you say you will. That, believe it or not, counts for an awful lot, with an awful lot of us.....What Special Hobby claim they might make (at some point, eventually) on the other hand, is of little or no interest, and it certainly generates no revenue for AZ. What's wrong with Yaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell you if it's a nice kit or not, because it would be easier to find Shergar. Why not 3D scan the one in your stash? I'll buy three ! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shergar A nice new Admiral boxing with lots of cool decal choices for the usual AZ price would be lovely. The Blackburn Shark was effectively OOP around 40+ years ago. Possibly just as ripe for resurrection as a Westland Waipiti or Percival Proctor. These have been steady sellers for half a century through very dodgy copies of old Frog moulds, yet require so much work to make ok. A 21st century moulding would be a breath of welcome fresh air . Dragon have spoiled it for us with De-Havilland Sea Venoms and Sea Vampires etc as you can see on BM, we're all driving ourselves mad super detailing Frog kits that are far better in profile than the Dragon nightmares. I'm fairly sure we're resigned to the fact that's our only way. We can't all afford the lovely CMR resin . Thanks for listening Jan.

Jan Polc Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hmmm, Venom..... And what about Meteor Night Fighters? Shark is a plane absolutely unknown to me. But as you stated - Wapiti and Proctor are in the list. Whats wrong with Yaks? According to our information all Yaks produced by various companies were not good sellers. And at second - we have to finish lavochkins - La 5F, La 5, La 7, La 5UTI.... I think, that four Soviet types in the very close future is big enough... Maybe Brengun will follow as they did Yak 1. Or Valom. Ask them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris57 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 How's about some Mig 27's? to go with the Mig 23's or full IM Mil 14's ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 Telling true we just were looking if we can do MiG-27 converting our MiG-23. I am not "jet expert", but I will ask for the details. Mil Mi 14 for sure not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMA131Marine Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) I still say we need some accurate late Corsairs: F4U-5/5N/7 and AU-1. Also a Vought O2U Corsair: used by the US, Argentina, Brazil, China, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Peru, and Thailand. They also served in that little matter of King Kong climbing the Empire State Building. Edited November 27, 2016 by VMA131Marine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Jan, I'm currently assembling the Legato Hurricane IIc which has got me thinking about a IIa/b. Apologies if this question has been asked before (I bet it has and, probably, by me) but is there any chance of AZ doing one? Also, when is you Spitfire Vc due to be released? Thanks.

spaddad Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hi Jan, let me start by thanking you for listening to all our requests, from the obviously insane to the most repeated, we do appreciate it. Can I stick my oar in on behalf of the Blackburn Shark, plenty of alternate colour schemes and would sit nicely with your other inter war/early WW2 subjects, any further MiG 23/27 variants and early model Skyraiders, also the P-36, P-39, I know these two have already been mentioned but just wanted to amplify previous requests, cheers, spad.

Jan Polc Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi to all, another variant of MiG-23 yes, BN is on the go. Blackburn Shark.... why not, but decision is not made now. P-36 is in the plan for 2017. P-39 is postponed - A) thanks to existence of RS model and we were cooperating with MPM on their three Academy reboxes. Hot news - our Hampden is totally sold out today. Re-release in January in limited quantity, together with TB version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Matchbox (now Xtrakit) Meteor NF was the 11, 12 and 14, so I can't remember a 13 (might have been one before I was born!) and it would save me (and other modellers) from trying to fathom out any external differences between the 11/12 and 13! thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I'd also suggest a 48th DH Chipmunk. Not too large and I think it would sell in enough numbers to justify production, Mainly though I'd suggest carrying on as you are Jan, your attitude and willingness to engage with customers is marvellous. Your remark about Yaks got me thinking and you have a point, I like them but never see many at shows. Very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
