Slater Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 How old is the 1/48 Tiger helicopter mold? Presumably it's not a new tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that kit is a mid 90s mold. Released at least once by Revell, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 1:24 Porsche 934 RSR in Jagermeister scheme. Wonder how this will stack up to the Revell and Tamiya kits of the same subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truro Model Builder Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 One or two models there that i might be interested in as I missed them the first time around. And I could be tempted by the F-35B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably from Esci, as Esci had different cars like the BMW M1, Porsche 935 and a couple of others that are now reboxed by Italeri Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most are Italeri's own, with some sure former Esci but there are a few for which I wonder... 1/72 F-4E: Italeri ? Esci ? Fujimi ? The Italeri original kit had parts for the F and the G, while Esci sold theirs as an E/F, so I'm expecting the Esci kit (with nice panel lines but inaccurate front fuselage) 1/72 P-51B.. or A... picture is an A but they may have simply reused an existing picture in their catalogue. If it is a B, I'd expect Academy. 1/72 F-16C... now Italeri has reissued their own kit more than once, however their is pretty far from a block 50 or 52 ! Will they just rebox their old kit as is ? Or add the extra parts ? Or is it someone else's kit ? In such a case it could only really be the Hasegawa kit... but something tells me that it will be Italeri's own old kit, maybe with a couple new bits... maybe. 1/72 MiG-15: Italeri had reboxed the Dragon kit in the past, guess this will be the same 1/48 Spitfire IX: Italeri had reboxed the Occidental kit in the past, guess this will be the same ? And I have a dream.. that the F-8 is the Academy kit ! But most likely this will be the Esci mould that Italeri themselves had reboxed a few years ago. Same for the Super Hornet... I suspect that for the F-16 and the F-4 Italeri will do what they already did with their EF-2000, Rafale, Mig-29, F-15C and F-5E, correct or replace drop tanks, weapons and pylons then add random "modern" parts and decals.

Given Italeri have recently released the Esci C/J mould (with a lovely decal sheet) and it's being advertised as an E/F I suspect it's Esci. The original Italeri F-4 was released as an F/G.

Problem is that the better F-4Es in 1/72 are pretty hard to find, particularly with slatted wings as there's none available at the moment, Personally I hope that Hobby 2000 will at some point rebox the Hasegawa kit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whichever, I'll be getting a few. Without seeing the plastic I can't be sure, but the nationality of the decal options shown on page 19 of the catalogue certainly chime with what I remember the last time I built the E boxing. I was massively impressed at getting four options out of the box and was sorely tempted by the German ones without knowing at the time it was an F.

MrEmeralds Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 On an unrelated note, I'm glad Italeri's reissuing the 1/48 MC.205. Those toolings are getting hard to come by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
