Mick_Gannon Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Now I know that I asked this question at least 8 months ago and was was told by a member that HK was going to do the 1/32 scale 2 stage merlin variants, but all has gone very very quite, so does anybody know if they are ging to do them, tried HK on face book waste of time, never replied to the same question.

Homebee Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) With such a text and message title you're sure to be ignored by the search engines... To ensure an optimum efficiency for your request may I recommend you to be less cryptic/texting. HK = Hong Kong Models, Mossy = Mosquito / Mossie etc. Anyway... http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234949662-multiple-threads-on-one-subject/ Now to answer your question: I don't know if they're going to do them (they seem to be now concentrated on their Avro Lancaster and Junkers Ju-52 1/32nd projects) but in late 2014 Hong Kong Models published some de Havilland Mosquito 3D renders with two-stage Rolls-Royce Merlin nacelles. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/3060-132-mosquito-bomber-coming-soon/ V.P.

Mick_Gannon Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Homebee thank you for the reply, have changed the title and added tags, the 3D renders were all wrong as the length of the engines were the same as the single stage merlins although they did go to the Mosquito meusem, as can be seen in their face book page. From what you have said I think they will be over looked and fogotten about. M&G Edited April 14, 2017 by Mick_Gannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnerdad Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Such a shame, it's about time for the 2 stagers to take their rightful place in the kit world, 1/72 on the way, but STILL no decent 1/48 and nothing in 1/32!!!??? Unhappy face boo hoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 It's not my scale - the Matchbox 32nd Venom put me off it for life - but the B.XVI in there has me tempted. Hmmm, B35 in 105 Sqn markings? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin ritchie Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I build 1/32nd only , but these days I limit myself to sub £100 kits, which sort of limits my choices, I'd love this kit , but I' afraid I'm just going to pass! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
