Just a note, that P-51D/K is already announced and expected in Autumn 2022. Thanks Wojtek. I missed that one. Love your 'B' so I'm sure the 'D' will be a great kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czaralko Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I also think it may be the ohka, what other japanese aircraft symbolize either mt Fuji or cherry blossom? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think an Ohka would be a big seller and since we have a fairly recent kit of one in 1/72nd scale from Brengun, I would have thought it would not be that likely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 With all due respect to Brengun, their kits, while nice, are not in the same league as Arma's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise that, but it would be a gamble on an aircraft which like I said probably wouldn't be a huge seller and that someone else has recently bought out. Many people who wanted a 1/72nd Ohka probably bought the Brengun one and it's not like an Ohka is a model that a large number of people are going to buy multiples of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but the Okha is a nice little kit - and let's face it, it's about as simple a subject as you could find. I don't think Brengun is lacking in detail. Not a lot of scope here for Arma to exercise their skills ... unless of course it came with a Betty!

Tbolt Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Maybe it's an F-15 😉 ( not serious with all the nice F-15 kits we have ). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, based on my experience with the Brengun Yak-1 and Yak-1B, they are very damn close. The quality of detail on them is very impressive.

Not exactly a valued contribution to the hobby. "Acceptable" is kind of subjective - what's "acceptable" by your standards may not be to everyone else. And besides, when has the existence of a kit stopped another manufacturer from doing his own attempt at a better interpretation? Once again, a "perfectly acceptable" Ki-100 by Aoshima makes no money for Arma. These outfits aren't in business to make "valued contributions to the hobby", they're in business to make valued contributions to their financial bottom lines.

Torbjorn Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 There is a Val-shape hole in the modern model catalogue of Japanese types. Maybe they want to deviate from making fighters? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
