VMA131Marine Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Wow! This should be really nice going by the quality of the kits they have released to-date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I love it! As VMA131Marine says, this should be awesome if it's like the CP kits that have already been released (and why shouldn't it be?). Seems 2019 was the year of the Yak-1B; looks like 2020 will be the year of the Lavochkins, especially if AZ/KP go ahead with their La-5/-5F/retooled La-5FN. I'll be broke, but happy!

Roman Schilhart Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Good news for all modelers with an interest in the VVS. I'm always up for a new Lavochkin. After I have seen Redboost's build of Clear Prop's Mitsubishi K-51 in the RFI section, this release looks very promísing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 That is a very interesting news! Especially taking into account the quality of models so far released by this brand... Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Someone mentioned this on FB about a week or so ago with this picture and I though it must of been already mentioned on here, but I guess not. Anyway it's good news and hopefully Wingsy will do a 1/48th scale version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcop Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I have both ClearProp Model of A5M2b. Type 96. They are truly magificent kits. But now it looks like they begin to turn models like Hot Dogs and I just hope they can keep their high standard of both research and production. I hope they don't burn their (beautifull) wings.

Parrahs Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 First the Su-25 and now this? It's almost as if they've been listening in on what aircraft I've been wishing for new 1/72 toolings of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob C. Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Maybe Clear Prop could be the answer to our A-36/P-51/P-51A/B/C prayers!? Bob C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sroubos Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Clear Prop is giving us the 72nd scale revolution promised to us by Eduard! I hope these guys sell kits by the bucket loads. They look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Copeland Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Clear Prop is leaving Eduard and Tamiya in the rear view mirror. I just received their Sonia and the two Clauses. I can't believe the detail. It's insane!! As for the LAGG series....I will be buying multiple!! If it was a P-51B/C series, I would be buying them by the case!!

I hope these guys sell kits by the bucket loads. They look great. I hope so too. Maybe when these kits sell well, other manufacturers will wake up to the sales potential of VVS kits in 1/72. Perhaps by now the market for P-51's, 109's and Spitfires is saturated? Somehow I don't really believe that, but maybe the general modelling public (whoever they are) have got all of those that they want, have become more sophisticated in their tastes, and are ready to blow the market for VVS subjects wide open!!!

gioca Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 this kit seems wonderful, simply wonderful. I'm buying several ... the only area not so convincing at the moment ad from the poor image I have is the propeller blade tip. The render is ok, while the plastic seems to be of different shape, a kind of paddle not so closed to the real shape, while the 3D render was. Is it only my impression ? A distorsion on the sprue img ? thanks and Bravi ! Bravi bravi. Ciao Giovanni 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
