JWM Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Well, is it 1st of April today? What a surprise! Especially with existing Williams Bros kit. Still no Douglas B 23 Dragon, neither Curtiss Shrike machines on the market... (as injection kits). Maybe them as next??? Regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
occa Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I really like this announcement, I only hope the kits will be 110 % accurate in details, shape and proportions, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of men Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I'm with JWM. I think a B-23 would be a fine continuation of their line. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Good morning Good news for those interested in the B-10 family but what about the Two stage engines Mosquitoes announced more than 2 years ago https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235020219-two-stage-mosquito-announcement/ ? And about the Mirage III family ? I really like the Special Hobby kits I have several of their kits in my stash I am currently working on the P40K and P40N and I really hope that the Mosquitoes and Mirage III will be released soon ..

Patrice Do you know how long I waited for SH to release their B-18? Years! Then I had to wait another couple years for them to do a Digby version. So I can now ditch my Williams Brothers Kit?

sroubos Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Excellent news! Now let's hope they also do a 166 with the long greenhouse canopy (yes I'm greedy :P). Edited October 4, 2019 by sroubos 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the Williams kit first appeared circa 1976. If SH/Azur can marry their new kit with the decal sheet that came with the last iteration of WB kit, it is win, win and win.

Roger Holden Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 3 hours ago, JWM said: I've found unexpected scheme: That's the Martin 166, which was the final development with changed sweep back on wing outer panels, new canopy and blunter nose shape. Would be great if they did that, but probably unlikely as so different from the 139 and only built for the Dutch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmaas Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Actually, there are differences between the USAAC B-10 and ALL the export versions, though (unlike the radical changes on the long canopy WH-3/3A) most are confined to the engine cowling and nacelle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still looking forward to this👍 Cheers, Jan Yeah! with a little bit of care and attention the WB B-10 builds up very nicely if one replaces the glazed parts - shall we say basic but nice. But definatley showing its age. I recall it was re-issued a couple of years back with a mega decal sheet 20 or so different option if memory serves, hence why I said earlier it would be great if WB re-issued their decal sheet to go along with this kit. A great piece of thinking by SH/Azur, I for one is looking forward to an up to date B-10 kit.
