do335b6 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 can we get a 1/48 please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoc Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Yeah. Fine. Great. No, really. It's wonderful. I mean, sure, I plonked down the cash for the Ushi Models rendering of this bird. But, I knew the risks. So, this is fine. No, really. That MikroMir is coming out with one and it will definitely cost less than the Ushi kit isn't a problem for me. No, really. It's wonderful. Really... /sigh... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

occa Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I want the kit in 1:8 so it looks good with my motor cycles 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 No, I want it in 1/350 so I can buy 15 of them to fill the deck of an Amagi carrier for a "Battle of the Pacific '46" diorama. John 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_C Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) Hmmm. Never heard about it. Looks like an IJAF'46 subject. And can't stop thinking it might be a never born child of piston SAAB J-21 and a Vampire. Edited June 30, 2021 by Dennis_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoc Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Well, if it's a "I wish it was in this scale" game we're to be playing, then I want it in 1:1 scale and fully operational. I could use it as my daily driver to work... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the manufacturer visits forums like this what's wrong with expressing interest in another scale? I whined about wanting the Fokker G-1 in 1/72 when MikroMir released their 1/48 and now I have two in my stash. So it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Sorry John, it's a J type not a A type so land-based not carriers. Japanese carriers in 1946? Hmm, try A6M-8? Methinks there was a carrier-capable N1K2-J planned. A bit uninspiring as far as What-If scenarios go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 In response to all the "I want it in 1/23.6 scale posts etc. This is a rumour thread to discuss this aircraft not what others want and we at least try to keep these threads on target, and that includes NO wish listing.

Learstang Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 This is not an aircraft I'm personally interested in, but every time MikroMir releases one of their weird but wonderful kits I am delighted. That just means I'm that much close to finally seeing a Farley Fruitbat in 1/72nd scale (or is that 1/42nd scale?). Regards, Jason 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 If the red text is actually part of the box art and not just an edit of the box art image, it should make the kit somewhat collectable, I think! John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
