Missick Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Don't get me wrong, the art is beautiful but for a painting on the wall. Not! for the kit, they should follow the Eduard steps for attractive, punching box arts, whatever they are digital or not. They are alive and good and easier to sell. Contact the Antonis Karidis, Piotr even the V.Aulleta. This kit is on my list anyway. But Infinity should take my note seriously. I am working in marketing departments for two companies, that are making tv commercials etc. Special Hobby, same mistakes all over again, they started now with much better boxes! Ps: I am not rude, this is my opinion that is constructive and will help. Edited January 29, 2023 by Missick Mistake... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamwriter Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I hope this one and the Aichi Val, fit better than the Helldiver does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayB24 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I have the Val it just arrived, very nice model. Now when is the Kate coming out. I have heard rumours that they are not doing any more big models after the current announced ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard rumours that they are not doing any more big models after the current announced ones? According to a semi-reliable source, the incomplete tooling for the Kate will be up for sale soon. The Val is their last IM kit. Whether or not anything comes of it remains to be seen. For me, the Val and Kate were a pair of must-buys but not so much just one or the other, not so much glass half full as one side of the glass missing if the Kate is kaput. But I'm warming to buying the Val, unsure if it'll go up in price or be remaindered at a discount. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get manufacturers producing aircraft in 1/35 where those can be used in diorama settings with vehicles eg Ju87, Me 109, Feisler Storch and FW190 with German vehicles. I am not so sure about doing a Kate in 1/35. It wont sit well with either a Zero or a Val in 1/32. Unless someone is planning a 1/35 Soryu or Akagi perhaps Maybe we are about to re-visit "box scale" in a modern way? I cant say its wrong to do it in 1/35 - just that its kind of, well odd.

(Sorry if I am derailing the topic...) I personally find great interest in comparing the sizes of aircraft. i.e. : 'What size was the Ventura compared to the Hudson, Wellington or Ju88?'. Having a consistent scale is a way to do this. But surely the Val and Kate are planned as 1/32 scale, so I dont really understand the 1/35 comments in this thread.

JohnT Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) @New Tool The scale comments come about as Infiniti Models are dropping their manufacture of injection mould kits so their planned 1/32 Kate is probably not going to ever happen though they are trying to sell what work they have done so far to someone else. So it might just still see the light of day - very big maybe On the other hand it seems that another manufacturer - Border Models - just announced a Kate but this time in 1/35 scale which is great other than it wont sit alongside 1/32 Zeros or Infiniti's last model the 1/32 Val.

Of course I could just be miffed at no Kate in 1/32 still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their upcoming Kate is half as good, I know many 1/32 fundamentalists will put their resolution aside and cross the Rubicon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
