Admiral Puff 2,195 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 OOOOER!! I'd be on for one of them! Link to post Share on other sites
Caerbannog 2,597 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Oh no! After all the effort I put to my stash queen from Smer... Guess I have to buy this one - if only to support all companies investing into 1:48 air racers. René Link to post Share on other sites

Well Rene, at least you didn't do as I have: spending just a little more than is reasonable 🙄 on the Noix version!! 😬 I too will show my support, great news. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mhaselden 1,204 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'm in, too, for this one. Please, oh PLEASE let them release some other Schneider racers - S5, S6, Crusader, Gloster etc etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 17,188 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 More power to Csaba's elbow, and good to see he's done it in the proper scale Link to post Share on other sites
bentwaters81tfw 7,022 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Oh yes, more Schneider Trophy stuff. I cursed over the SMER issue as well. All that masking after the rigging. Link to post Share on other sites

mhaselden 1,204 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'm with you, Caerbannog. greggles.w build is truly epic but it has put me off the Karaya kit. Don't mind spending a fair bit of dosh on a kit (Karaya aren't going for giveaway prices) but spending a fair amount of money and THEN having to totally rework it doesn't really float my boat.

reromp 78 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Our plan is Supermarine S.4 first. What do you think about it? 6 Link to post Share on other sites
mhaselden 1,204 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I like it. As noted above, I'd like a full range of Schneider racers. I'm biased towards the British aircraft but several US and Italian types were also very attractive aircraft. Link to post Share on other sites
dragonlanceHR 301 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I like it, since the person I spoke with at your stand at Moson said anything but the Caudron C.600 in 1/48 would be too expensive / would not sell :-) Bring them on. Vedran Link to post Share on other sites

Which of these is NOT a form of masochism? Comparing kits to scale plans without checking whether the plans themselves are accurate. Carefully inserting/deleting 1mm from the length/width of a kit component...then finding the halves don't align properly and sanding/filling the life out of the darn thing. Deftly folding PE ('cos it's closer to scale than the plastic component) then gluing it onto resin aftermarket interior components that make the fuselage sides a scale 2ft thick. Spending hours arguing over the right shade of ______________ (insert colour here - Sky, RLM Grau and Olive Drab are for amateurs....we can argue about the shade of black!). Wasting more time searching for miniscule PE/resin/plastic parts in the carpet monster than actually gluing them together. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Supermarine S.4 is a wonderful aircraft, I love it, but I'm italian... so I think that Macchi MC.72 is even better... Hooray for the Schneider racers !!! Ciao.

Admiral Puff 2,195 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 MAAAAAATE! Any Schneider Trophy aircraft will be thankfully received and added to the stash! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner 919 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Fabulous work! I need one 1/48 Macchi. The S4 too. And all Schneider racer you could make. Link to post Share on other sites
Air-to-Air 357 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'm pretty excited by the prospect of some modern tooled/cast 1/48 Schneider Trophy racers. I'd be up for the Supermarine S.4 and S.6B and my all time favourite, the Macchi Castoldi M.C.72. I have the Testors S.6B and the Smer M.C.72 but I'd love to buy modern kits of these aircraft. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Rivas 2 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Interested in this kit also, after getting the 1/72th one which is a work of art. Hope the S.4 becomes a reality and a good compliment to that could be a Macchi M.52, anyways patiently waiting to hear about this M.72 being released! best regards, Antonio Rivas 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ICMF 437 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 They're not actually releasing it as a kit. They just did a one-off test print for a laugh (which they mentioned on their Facebook page soon after the first pic was posted) Link to post Share on other sites
reromp 78 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 We still want to do it... But have some projects in more advanced stage. Sorry we are slow 2 Link to post Share on other sites
