uhebeisen Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 In one of their previously newsletters ArmaHobby mentioned that there are a few delays due to the current pandemic. And in the latest newsletter from 13. August there is a footnote: Quote PS. Before you ask; the Mustang kit is on the tooling; we are working on release preparation. An exact date will be announced then. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Good morning Afew days ago I received an email from Arma Hobby saying that they are taking preoders of the F4F and in an earlier mail they said that : "Hopefully, Mustang will be released shortly after Wildcat." Let’s be a little bit patient and meanwhile let’s put some money aside to buy several boxes ... Best regards Patrice 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jan_cz Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I would expect the pricing to be quite close to their Wildcats. That would put expect the expert boxing around 20Eur with regular around 15Eur (EU prices; outside little less). But we'll have to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 It certainly looks like they've done their homework and more on this one. My old fingers don't handle 1/72 scale kits well any more so I'm hopeful they'll give the same attention to a 1/48 scale edition should they decide to go that route. I'm confident the 1/72 scale kit will sell very well and I'm further confident a 1/48 scale kit would too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking they might not bother with 1/48th scale given that Eduard will be doing a P-51B/C in the near future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many other things out there that would be better served with a new kit. As with the P-51B/C there is still place for an better P-51D. Both the Tamiya and the Airfix kits have things that could been better made. The Tamiya without loose flaps and the Airfix with the bad moulded parts (antenna and stick) and bent landinggears. There is place for an eduard and/or an Arma Hobby P-51D. Why not an P-51D with the choise of building an early one without the spinfinn. I would also appreciate all three types of propellers. And what about the idea of an smooth wing with filled panellines as on the real thing?

Good morning I agree with you there a lot of aircraft out there that would deserve a new kit in 1/72 but I think that you will agree if I say that this is not the place to start a Wish List .. So let's keep ''talking'' about the Arma Hobby P 51B/C Mustang .. Best Regards Patrice 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickpeck Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Each time I see a new comment on this P-51B subject I think it is out. You guys are killing me LOL!! All kidding aside I agree as above keep it P-51B but a new Eduard P-51D would be nice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course they'll be definitive, as the Eduard Spitfire IXs, Fw 190s and Hellcats are. Just like the Arma Hurricanes and Wildcats. But the P-51B/C is desperately needed, and Arma will provide, so let's keep the spotlight on that one for now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre B Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 From Arma Hobby... "I expected P-51B around Summer Holidays. Hopefully we will have it on Christmas (not sure). Mustang have much more detail than previous kits, including subvariants available out the box (nose panels, photo camera, different radio, rangefinder). So it adds more to the work." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a subject as important as this, better slow and good, than hasty and bad. Patience ladies and gents! Justin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting thought (Arma Hobby tooling an Allison Engined P-51) Now some of the parts would be common and others might like, for example, to study the layout of the sprues to see if there is any hint of this...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting yes, but would it get buyers? Has an Allison engined P-51 any connections to Poland? I feel an new P-51D (or any other aircraft with polish connections) would be an better investment. An new 1/72 scale P-38 are needed. Was there any polish pilots flying P-38? Cheers / André Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis “Gabby” Gabreski comes to mind, although he didn’t fly P-38s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
