PhantomBigStu Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Surprised given how how they’ve had trouble shifting some of the previous kits, hopefully it’s not just a rebox of something available already. Still look forwards to it being revealed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acky190 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Hoping for a reissue of the Scimitar, eBay land seem to think £70-£100 is acceptable for this kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 what British cold war jet is missing at this time? A Venom maybe? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Venom would be my guess, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMA131Marine Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I think we can conclude, from previous Xtrakit releases that this will be a 1/72 British Cold War jet. The most obvious likely subject has to be a Javelin, I would think. After that? Vampire NF.12 Sea Venom FAW.21 any single-seat version of Venom F-86A Hunter F.1-F.5 Hawker Kestrel/AV-6A Hawker P.1127 Hawker-Siddeley P.1154 A couple more I’ve thought of: Short Sturgeon Fairey Spearfish Short Sperrin Supermarine Type 224 (I’ve just acquired the Rareplanes vac kit so it is inevitable that this is what it will be). 3 hours ago, Moggy said: A reboxing of Special Hobby's Vampire?

Wasn’t S&M planning a series of Wasps that were being tooled in Ukraine by AMP/MikroMir. It wouldn’t be surprising if Hannants took over the project. This is a much needed kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky210 Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Mmmm… had a look on the future Xtradecal releases and I see there is a Westland whirlwind ( helo) it’s probably aimed at the Airfix kit, but could be for this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivand Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 On that note: why not a reboxed Ukrainian 'fishbowl' Canberra? 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I think a complete new tool fishbowl Canberra is what we’re after. The S&M base kit is still a handful to put together and (according to others who know more) could be improved upon. Cheers.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Their Hunter T.7 should have been a lot better so hoping for a better fitting and easier one. Regards Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denford Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 None of these. Instead a front-line fighter (surely 1000+ built) that served with USAAF and RAF in North Africa, Italy and Burma. Yet hitherto only Mainstream tooled by Frog in 60's! The Allison engined Mustang, was released 90's? in several boxings (maybe variants) by MPM. The Xtrakit releases that I have 'examined' show a strong link to MPM, for example in the style of instructions, So this will be no more than a re-boxing, of the original MPM release(s) under the Xtrakit label. Sorry for those of you who had high hopes for so many subjects, especially for the Scruggs Wonderplane, though it just might be a re-issue of the much-sought Spitfire Xll instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Allison engined Mustang was also produced by Academy and Italeri, so FROG weren't the only mainstream manufacturer to do it. (How well they did it, especially Italeri, is another matter.) Some Xtrakits were produced by Sword rather than MPM - it says so on the side of the box (and the Meteor NF was a Matchbox reissue). The announcement from Hannants says a new Xtrakit, so that suggests it won't be a reissue of one of their earlier ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
