Rick The P-38 would seem to be the logical move as Tamiya have downscaled some of their 48 scale releases (like the Ilyushin Il-2). I heard rumours that Arma Hobby will be releasing a 1/72 P-51B/C in 2021, but that's to be discussed elsewhere... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewolf Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Perhaps they bought up the WNW moulds for the 1/32 Lanc and intend to actually issue it???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards J-W The way they engineered the engine nacelles on their existing Mossie kits always left me with the impression that thy planned a two stage Merlin release, but maybe because so many aftermarket outfits released resin conversion sets, they decided not to...still, with that being said, they had made noise back in the day that many of their 1/48 releases would be done in 1/72 at some point.

trickydicky210 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 My guess (all 1/32) 1 - Stuka 2- BF109 3- Hurricane 4- P-47 5 - P-38 6- Spitfire (early) 7- Hellcat 8 - Beaufighter 9- BF110 10- FW190 (not stating variants) probably way off 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early P-38F/G/H in 1/32 would go every very well, judging by how popular their 1/48 Lightning is. I can also see the Hellcat as very possible, to complement their very nice Corsair. Not too sure about the others however. Still, I do like the way you think. Would you care to guess what jet or jets they might produce in 1/32? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Jets are more of a challenge as the scope is much wider: 1/32 1. Harrier/Sea Harrier 2. Mig 21 3. Gloster Meteor 4. Sabre 5. Skyhawk and if in 1/48: 1. Tornado 2. Phantom 3. Typhoon 4. Mirage 5. F.18 even more likely to be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I see all but the Meteor being very strong possibilities in 1/32 scale. In 1/48 I see the Typhoon (Eurofighter?) as a strong possibility as there really isn't a great one available in 1/48 scale. A 1/48 F-15E wouldn't surprise me, to be honest. Thanks for your input. Much appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jfgred1 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 When it will be that we would hear about a B-17, or B-29... Or a Stirling and Halifax... or since the hype is to re-do old models using new molding technology (i.e Spitfire, me-109, Zero...), why not a new tech Lancaster?... All in glorious 1/48th scale.... Or if you like models never made in mainstream in 1/48, why not a Lockheed P-2 Neptune, or an P-3 Orion. A Super Puma, Cougar family series... Or if you fancy older models, a Kawanishi H6K Mavis, or H8K Emily... And yes, the next iteration of the P-38 in the J, L, K and M guises... And then suddenly felt from the bed and hurt my rear end....... I think they should joint forces with Hasegawa and Fujimi and come up with some of the ones mentioned above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 They might be. And it appears we're looking at two different versions of the P-40, based on the appearance of the vertical stabilizers. My question is are we looking at 1/48 or 1/32 scale? My guess, and that's all it is, is it's going to be 1/32. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Roberts Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Yeah, not so subtle pics - or a red herring? It does suggest a P-40 coming, and I'd put my money on 1/32 as well. Hopefully not as we have the Hasegawa kit out there, and Hasegawa are in the process of re-issuing a lot of their kits. A modern tool 1/32 P-38 would be good, but I'd personally LOVE a 1/32 BoB Mk I Spitfire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I was thinking it was a clue. The 1/32 Corsair, Mustang, Mosquito, and Spitfires were all measured and researched at Vintage Wings of Canada. The owner at that facility has a P-40 too. They did measure it, guys I served with in the Airforce work there. Although they don’t have any insider information. They did give me info ahead of time in regards to the above kits.

I hope they do a 1/48 P-40 that solves the errors on the Trumpeter kit and is better detailed and engineered than the Hasegawa ones. A 1/32 would be nice too but way out of my wallet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
