JohnT Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Spoiler alert I was going down the list noting as I went the scale was increasing from 1/144 through 1/72 and 1/48 to 1/32 and just under the 1/32 V1 to find listed a DH Sea Vixen. A 1/32 Sea Vixen I thought. Then I saw it was 1/72 and out of order on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acky190 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Well it is 2020 so I'm expecting a 1/32nd Hughes Spruce Goose to be announced at any point soon. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mu17 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Presumably the 1/48 Horten Ho.229 A-1 is the former Dragon kit ? A decent enough model as long as it is substantially cheaper than than the superb Zoukei Mura one. Its frustrating that there is no model in any scale of the Ho229v6 - with bulged underside and different engine intakes - which would have been the prototype for the production series (although no production had ben authorised by the end of the war. Such a model would be a legitimate basis for Luft 46 colour schemes. Not so the Revell / Dragon / Zouki Mura / Brengun models which do not represent the A-1 but depict the three prototypes V3/V4/V5, which would have been used for initial flight trials until 10 prototypes like the V6 were available. Dragons 1/48 nachtjager remains the only model of the two seater in any scale - both the Pioneer kit and the Zoukei Mura conversion kit are sadly fantasies.

Thomas V. Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Thank you Revell for not re-issuing Ju 290, Breguet Atlantic, Fw 200, Arado 196, Sabre Dog, Ju G38, Piper Supercub, Alouette II, Sea King, Helldiver etc... when company is led by new age management... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 That they've taken the trouble to mark the F-15E as a "new tooling" but not done so for any of the others does not bode well for the Sea Vixen 2 hours ago, Mu17 said: Presumably the 1/48 Horten Ho.229 A-1 is the former Dragon kit ?

HMSLion Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 OK...the Shuttle might be of interest. I'm seriously considering knocking together a set of models in 1/72 for the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School. It's fascinating (and not a little frightening) to see just how tiny a Mercury or Gemini capsule really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mu17 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi Col - at first glance the Ho.229.V6 intake look like the V2 - so the upper wing surface is smooth and the engine has no protruding fairing. The lower surface does have a small protruding fairing. From memory, the engines move about 150mm outboard. However the changes re more significant. The contour of the whole top surface of the centre section is the same as V3/Revell/Dragon kits except the forward engine intake lip is gone. This is achieved by changing the engine thrustline and that is done by lowering the front of the engine. On V3 the centre of the engine lines up with the centreline of the wing leading edge - in front view. On V6 the engine centreline is well below the wing centreline. This would have resulted in a lot of the engine hanging out of the underside but this is avoided by making the wing section thicker but that extra thickness is applied to the underside only. The thicker underside can be seen very clearly on Dragons two seater - why ? because the two seater was a stretched version of the Ho.229V6 - unhelpfully Hortens drawing of the two seater is also labelled V6 but thats another story. Unfortunately you can't just cut the nose off the two seater to create a V6 due to the geometry of the longer airfoil created by the extended nose which also changes the top surface contour very slightly. However with some extra sanding, a reasonable representation might be achieved. Note that the windscreen of the canopy would look more like an Fw.190. For drawings - treat yourself to a set from Arthur Bentley or buy the excellent book Spriit of Thuringia by Huib Ottens by Classic Publications (which contains them). The Valiant publication on the Ho.229 is decent value for money in respect of its photo content on V1, V2 and V3 but its account of the development of the Ho.229 is woefully inaccurate and the author clearly didn't read the many reference books he lists in the appendix ! In case anyone was wondering what is wrong with Zoukei Mura's two seat conversion pack - it was produced to be an add on to their almost perfect V3 kit. A good commercial decision. In fact the two seater is a development of the V6 and V6 had a TOTALLY different steel tube centre section structure. Zoukei Mura would have had to produce an entirely new kit and commercially thats not viable. The result is that modellers have ben sold a fantasy. The above information is from original documentation and surviving drawings. Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Boring, though probably will pick up the f-15 if my local shop survives the lockdowns, not like the market needed one with the excellent GWH and Academy kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

occa Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Böööööörääääng (<-- just wanted to try out this odd German spelling, no offense intended) I wonder why they stopped their 1/72 Spitfire series after the I/IIa and the Vb, same with the Corsair F4Us. Also they should investigate better to avoid their errors (some were quite obvious to the knowing eye) in recent kits especially 1/72. Just and advice for them, they will continue as they can anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
593jones Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 First time I've seen the Dauntless described as a 'navy fighter'! I wonder if that is the very old Monogram kit? It's not a very inspiring list, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I can't even work myself up to a "Meh" for this list. Does not reflect well on Revell's vision or marketing nous. The best one can say of it is that it provides a solid base for improvement in the rest of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that those posts weren't in the right of course, they were just sloppy releases. Edited November 8, 2020 by sroubos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
