Homebee Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) A few days ago IBG Models started a countdown teaser with clues about a future aircraft kit project. Guess what it is.

JWM Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 If it is Polish, pre-war, single three blade propeller, and not P24 G/F or P11G Kobuz (as already issued) - it can be PZL P50 Jastrząb prototype or (more likely) PZL 43 Chaika ("super Karaś)... (above a photo my sctrach conv. of Heller kit) Regards J-W 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Naturally I've been trying to twist the clues into "1/72 Yak-9/VK-105 series", but 5 manufacturing plants is too many, and 4 production versions is too few. The number of prop blades is right, though! Ah well - it'll still be interesting to see what it is, regardless! John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABeck Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Diese bescheuerten "In welcher Ecke liegt das Ei"-Spielchen haben Vorschulniveau oder sind für erwachsene Vollpfosten, sorry, das musste mal raus, Julien, meinetwegen verpass mir ´ne Rote Karte. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, then you probably didn't understand the purpose of this action. It's not about guessing what it is, but about calling attention it is meant to be. And you can have fun with it, by the way.

Homebee Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Andreas, das ist nur ein Kinderspiel für Erwachsenen, nicht mehr und nicht weniger.

JWM Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Its is a game, but its is also a kid of poll, the answers (apart of apparent jokes like a Savage) tell something about what is desired (not only expected) by modelers. J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristianK Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Ju 87? Four versions: A, B, D, G Five major manufacturing plants: Dessau, Lemwerder, Bremen, Tempelhof, Bernburg Three-blade propellor Two engine types: Jumo 210, Jumo 211 Sounds like a good fit to me. Stukas would also fit IBG's usual field of interest. Plus, a new Ju 87 in 1/72 would sell very well.
