SAT69 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Great news and there's nothing wrong with the scale but an upscale to 1/48 in the future would be most welcome. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Club Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Great news ! And with a Mk-4 Nuke in the box ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Club Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 In 1/72 and regarding US navy Aircraft, I would like to see, one day, a brand new tooling of the A3J Vigilante (the first version - the most beautiful one), not the RA-5C already produced... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Now that is an interesting (and badly overdue) choice of subject! Right on! "So long mom, I'm off to drop the bomb, so don't wait up for me..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Club Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 It is always interesting to see a company who dares to issue something else than a Spitfire or a Mustang ! There are plenty of obscure and fascinating aircraft that aren't covered in kit form ! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 The gods are toying with me! At least they left just over a clear year since I completed a vacform Savage, before announcing this one! Next there will be a 1/72 Manchester! And what other subjects have I risked resin, vanquished vacform, and wielded my razorsaw - for no injection alternative??? Oh yes - that Gloster F9/37! Look forward to an injected one of those. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenshirt Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Well, I’m glad I chose a different vac to start this year. looking forward to building this one! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we have the A-5B and RA-5C as well? Some of us think they're beautiful too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReccePhreak Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I just hope they also come out with the AJ-2P photo-reconnaissance version. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I've just seen that Aviation Megastore have this kit at a provisional price of 57.81 Euros. That's 59.09USD and 49.44GBP. I don't think that's unreasonable for a fairly large, and hopefully nicely detailed kit. I'll gladly pay it. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpk Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 $60.00 USD + shipping across the pond for a kit that is about the same size as a B-25. That's a bit of a chunk for 1/72. 1/48 I'd bite for a Benjamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raygunsnap Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Could not be more excited! Hopefully an AJ-2 is on the way too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit of a chunk for 1/72. 1/48 I'd bite for a Benjamin. You’re not wrong. I’d like to see this for $17.00 USD too. But I’ve wanted an injection molded Savage forever, so Roden knows they have me. But when I compare the contemplated Savage price to the $50.00 USD price of the 1/72 Clear Prop OV-1 Mohawk, I am somewhat mollified. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
