Dave (who’s frustratingly shaking his head) Exactly what I would have said (also shaking head!). No decent 1/72 injected Venom kits about. AZ we need a new tool 1/72 Thunderstreak please! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Junkers EF.128 finally, it was a true Luft 46 concept, that was viable at the end of war, but why two seater!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho590hm Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Perhaps because Huma already did the single seater...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 There was no two seater concept, and Huma is OOP for 25+years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmovik Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Cool subject, if it isn't short run, I'll buy one and put it next to my Ar 555 and Ho 229 from Revell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoc Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 My oh my but the howls of outrage already unleashed over on Facebook about this. "It's not even a real Luft 46 subject!!!!" Okay, sure. Whatever. If it's even a halfway decently engineered and manufactured model kit then I'll be to buying one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeback52 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I'll take two please! I'd rather have this sort of thing than the aforementioned Venom or Beaufort !

Albeback52 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Just now, Graeme H said: Well at least with this one, there will be absolutely no inaccuracies, everything will be just perfect Although I would rather a Venom single seater Nicely put!😂.Mind you, there are some whinges about "accuracy " on AZ's Facebook page! Apparently it's a "fantasy " model and, not like the "real" thing ! My own personal view is that this model is every bit as valid a model as a TIE fighter, Star Destroyer, U S S Enterprise or, Imperial Stormtrooper. Nobody complains about them! The "why this and, not..................(insert choice) comments are as predictable as night following day. Totally accept that but, we don't always get what we want! Personal choice of course. Allan ps. I probably wouldn't refuse a Venom either but, in the absence of same I'll settle for this!😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they do the night fighter two seater I suppose, but how would I convert that to a single seater. Yo know I can't be bothered, rather wait for AZ to produce one! Anyway back to the thread, why waste plastic on a fantasy Nazi kit anyway? Might as well start modelling Gundam kits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a mad and twisted world we live in! If I think about that too much I get depressed, mainly about Nazi Wannabe kits. But the chances of me buying one of them is next to zero. I've plenty of kits in my stash I could cross bash to invent ficticious Nazi drivell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Hmmm. Landing gear, guns and engine plus two people in that tiny fuselage. Not much room for fuel in those thin wings. Perhaps it is a modified Star Wars craft? And, who will be the first to fit booms and call it a tandem Vampire? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side it's a nicely detailed and well fitting kit. Alas the shape and dimensions are not that of the real machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way that that aircraft would fly - even today with fly-by-wire it wouldn't ! Why do people drool over such impractical fantasies ? . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
