Thomas V. Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I just hope they start releasing Val, Cmelak, Blanik and Vampire, too many announcements, too few releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMA131Marine Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 What variant(s) are they planning? There’s a fair amount of difference between the early Mk.I and the post-war TF.X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.T Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Very nice indeed. The early version and then perhaps also the version with the radome ? Edited October 11, 2021 by mr.T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Great And not before time - I can't believe that the old Revell kit is STILL the only 1:32 Beaufighter around! Mind you, it will need to have the Sperry autopilot fairing to be perfect ... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) At least the ancient Revell moulding can be put out to pasture, now. I'm very surprised it's taken this long to get a second, I.M. 1/32 Beau on to the market. Very good news. Chris. Edited October 10, 2021 by spruecutter96 Amending some information.

Infinity Models is the brand for the guys at HpH who do those delightful expensive resin models. They announced a while back that they were going into injected plastic kits and have already produced a 1/32 Helldiver. A 1/32 Aichi Val is also projected and a DH Vampire as well among others. So far their products are very good quality Have a look here https://www.infinitymodels.cz/en/coming-soon/ I wonder if the old Revell Beau will entirely go out to pasture? I’ve not heard it has shape issues unless I missed that. If so it can still be a canvas for early marks. Also a donor kit to “improve” the 1/32 Sanger Beaufort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right On rereading my post what I was thinking (but not quite communicating!) was will modellers desert the older moulding or will it still have its uses as a cheaper starting point for whatever as it were? Am a bit conscious that this has the danger of thread drift away from the Infinity kit so really just a rhetorical question there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewerjerry Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Hi Might be worth them releasing a merlin MkIIf first then hercules engined ones later It would most likely make more money for them and force me to buy one and maybe others to buy as well ? cheers jerry Edited October 16, 2021 by brewerjerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the new Wingleader book (part 1) and the kit will be a beast. It was a huge airplane.
