Homebee Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Moxingfans China indicates that in a recent message Border Model posted some intriguing sprues pictures showing what looks like Focke-Wulf Fw.190 Würger parts. Most probably a 1/35th kit project. To be followed. Source: http://www.moxingfans.com/new/news/2022/0905/10739.html V.P.

Sturmovik Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Would there be many size differences between a 1:32 and 1:35 Fw 190s? I assume it would be some millimetres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it would be some millimetres. It's roughly a 10% difference, which is quite a lot, and would be quite noticeable. If we arbitrarily take the length in 1/32 to be 300mm, then the length in 1/35 would only be 270mm. And this is just the linear size in a single direction. Once you include the other 2 dimensions, and their cumulative volumetric implications, you can see that the size difference is no small thing. By way of comparison, the two figures below are separated in size by a factor of 50%: Yet visually, the difference looks a whole lot larger than that.

Phas3e Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 looks like the wing guns will be open by default, I might be keen for a 'troops finding an abandoned fighter' diorama if you can open up a few areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 This will end as Tamiya 1/48 MM outside Japan-not selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do335b6 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 who says Tamiya 1/48 doesn't sell outside Japan? Been building all their 1/48 kits and the new Sayuta which is now under the Takom label are better than most 1/35 scale kits I've built If Boarder wants to do 1/35 why not I for one am looking at the Kate with interest.

johnny akes Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Looks to be a lovely kit, and having initially not been sure about this growing 1/35 aircraft movement the more I think about it the more it makes sense: apart from the obvious tie-in with AFVs and figures I find 1/48 to be too small for anything with less than 2 engines, while 1/32 can be limiting in terms of display space. It would be nice for more manufacturers to bring out kits in this scale to firmly establish it as a significant niche in its own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the exhausts are installed wrong on that engine. There are no exhaust outlets that high up on the cowl on the real 190. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no exhaust outlets that high up on the cowl on the real 190. Yes, the exhausts on top of the engine are definitely wrong! But they may simply be reversed - if they swapped sides, I believe they would be correctly located. Also, the first shot of the engine and prop above correctly shows the rather complex arrangement of pipes on the underside of the real engine (note how two of the pipes combine to a single outlet). The kit designers did some homework. Can't say I personally am a big fan of 1/35 aircraft when I have a stack of 1/32 kits lurking in the stash! 😮 But I understand the appeal, and I must say this kit looks pretty impressive so far.

It's upside down. On the front, the cone (or whatever it's called, is it crankcase?) should have the longer part pointing up. Edit: On a closer inspection, yes, the exhausts aren't placed correctly. Left and right should be swapped. Edited October 14, 2022 by Sturmovik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MultiDoc Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Looking forward to this kit, ideal scale for a diorama with some 1/35 figures and AFV/tank. Any idea on release date and any UK supoplier ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
