SAT69 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Time for me to learn how to build resin kits. The B-47, especially, got my attention. And the Neptune won't be something to sneeze at either. Both are going to be HUGE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.T Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 If the Neptune comes to life in this scale it would be something (also the other 2 kits are not a bad choice, although the Russian Bomber I do not see a real market for?). I recall the - now defunct - Collect Aire was supposed to issue a Resin kit in the 48 scale of the Neptune. It of course never materialized. But the 3 kits...they have my vote (and I am waiting patiently on my Viggens....I hope they do the 1/32 Draken as well in the near future) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a bomber but an interceptor. No market? No idea, but count me in for this kit project. V.P. Edited February 8, 2021 by Homebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected!! You're right. An interesting aircraft and about 200 built I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicardoD Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I voted for the Fiddler but can be easily tempted for this one too 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are about 60-650 in lenght and about the same in width, only the Fiddler a bit narrower than the other two. Not larger than a big size 1/32 kit, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.T Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Jetmads designers had the B-47 on the no. 1 spot but they are also issuing this one. So, something to look forward to. The Saab Viggen in 32 comes first and the 'little' Learjet in 1/32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackem01 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Just curious as to how this is progressing - keep looking for updates but nothing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.T Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I think the Viggen delivery is now on their mind for mid/3rdweek August? and then the Learjet. So, I assume they are just designing the SP-2H at this point? Wonder what the next 1/32 will be (apart from the 2nd run of the Viggen already announced)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad-4N Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I'm afraid of what this will cost. But I am a weak, weak man. I must have it. Koster Aero Enterprises for years listed a vac 1/48 P2V on his upcoming kits list, but alas with his passing we'll never see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Release schedule is tentative and yet to be announced. Big plane, big model… requiring a lot of work but we hope it is going to be a great one and we are looking forward to producing and building it. - Not only the Neptune but other announced projects are being developed simultaneously, whereas the Neptune is the priority.

general melchett Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Great news, should be an impressive beast but I must admit it's the Fiddler I'm really looking forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad-4N Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 My wallet will be hurt so bad. And soon as it arrives, Tamiya will announce a 1/48 Neptune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I never understood why Kinetic did not do one of these when they were pumping out twin engine carrier props early on. For that matter Trumpy knows how to make big kits too, after all if you can make a 1/200 battleship this would be a piece of cake. But I think I need to buy it just so my purchase will prompt someone to come forth with the injection mold of this. I really love the aircraft too, guess it's time to pull the trigger on this.

F-4Guy Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Considering the size of the aircraft in 1/48th scale, which is even larger than many kits in 1/32, I do not think we will have one in plastic in this scale so I'll be definitely in for this one.
