Ray_W Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Hopefully they'll save me the agony and do it in 1/32, because if it is a 1/48 new tool it's another purchase or three coming up. It's been on my wish list for some time. Mind you, 1/32 would be really Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phas3e Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I was quietly hoping for ICM to come out with the A20 family in 48th, but dont HK tend to start in 32nd then scale down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cammer625 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Yes 1/32. And 1/48. How is this not the golden age of modelling? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Hmmm I hope they borrow Tamiya's approach of incorporating and supplying weights in the design of that one (1/48 is big enough, thanks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Id be happy if they went 1/32 as It would save my wallet the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I would be very happy if they did an early DB-7 so that I can build a Vichy French one, preferably in 1/48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Well, if we're daydreaming about a kit that may or may not even exist, I'd love to see a Soviet Boston with the Soviet UTK-1 turret installation. In 1/32nd scale. HK won't come out with one, but I'd still love to see one. To be honest, any A-20 variant in 1/32nd scale would be nice to see.

brewerjerry Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Hi I suppose the seperate nose section hints at maybe a A-20J/K or P-70 release in the future ? cheers jerry Edited November 12, 2022 by brewerjerry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT_Man Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Wow! Looks amazing, wonder if they'll do a clear fuselage half to show off that interior detail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I have just one question. Is the nosewheel thick enough so we can drill a hole in it, put a bolt in, and screw the nut to a base? 'cos I'm not seeing much space for noseweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullofit Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 What are the chances this beauty will get downscaled to 1:48? These boys should also downscale their Dornier down to the same scale. Tamiya creation is rather hard to come by. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Shame it's not an RAF Boston III, but it will save the old credit card taking a bashing. Cheers Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewerjerry Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Hi over on LSP, they say it is a series of A-20 aircraft but no early ones quote from thread .......... there will be other versions BUT not the early ones so your looking at Boston V's onwards, that said there are plenty of colour ways for this and plenty of theatres including Russian and French. Also down the line are planned K variants so plenty ......... https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/94946-132nd-a-20g-coming-from-hk-models/page/8/#comments I suppose for those wanting a boston III the ' very basic ' airframe shape is there for a heavy conversion, but it would be a lot of work I might .... try that as a retirement project cheers jerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 That does look nice! Sometimes I wish I'd written off 1/32nd scale as I've done with 1/48th scale. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! Regards, Jason 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just noticed that there's a close up of it further down the page too, I'll be hanging on for that one I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scimitar F1 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I was told at Telford that the J nose is in there to allow an RAF version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
