1/48 - Beechcraft T-34C Turbo Mentor by Freedom Model Kits - in design

[Homebee 15,986]

M. Fan Cheng Ping (樊成彬) - usually publishing infos about Freedom Model Kits and KASL Hobby in the Taiwanese forums - has published pictures of a 1/48th Beechcraft T-34C Turbo Mentor resin test/design model. 

From various messages, it appear it'll be a injected plastic kit from Freedom Model Kits (FMK).

Great.....at last Freedom Models is making a kit of (a) something that actually entered service/existed and (b) something I'd actually buy a couple of!

Didn't Minicraft announce one of these? As with their 1/48th Gulfstream IV and 1/144th Convairs nothing ever appeared. Looking forward to this Freedom kit.

No, a Beechcraft T-34A/B Mentor and not a T-34C Turbo Mentor. And the Minicraft Mentor is announced since 2013...

Would be nice to see this happen - many really beautiful schemes available.. The Sword kit is hard to find.
