HMSLion Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I have to give credit to the Chinese makers - they are willing to think outside the Spitfire/109/P-51 box. It's a welcome change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 The box art is rather eye catching. Anyone know who did the art work? Edit just spotted the name Eugeny Knaufer under the wing tip in both pictures. Must look him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrik Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The guys had a stand at ModellBrno, so I asked them promptly about the expected release date, and the answer was July. Encouraged, I asked about 1/72, and they answered without hesitation "next January and 1/144 would follow too". 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
