Mike Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Seeing as we're all wishlisting, what about a Hughes Hercules in 1:32? You might need CAA permission to build one though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Hurricane I makes perfect sense to me as the new Revell IIc kit, while nice, is tooled in such a way as that they'd need replace most of the major airframe components for a I, and the Kotare kit will be positioned as a more premium product in any case, and at a different price point. Meanwhile the old PCM kit is effectively unobtainable and the and Fly kits, which are VERY nice, are nevertheless pretty complex builds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flown by a Kiwi Article XV squadron [486(NZ) Sqn] as well as several individual Kiwis in other squadrons. Ticks several of what appear to be Kotare boxes. I reckon a Hawker Typhoon is a good move by Kotare: the Revell offering of the Typhoon in 1/32 dates back to 1973 according to scalemates, and AFAIK there's not been a modern alternative offered since. 🤔 Edited November 1, 2023 by RussellE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had any sort of choice, that’s what would be top of my Kotare wishlist. A Desmond Scott Typhoon is one of my ‘bucket list’ models. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon J Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Maybe it's going to be an RAF starter trolley. That would make a nice companion to their Spitfire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinK Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I also think that it should and probably will be a Hurricane Mk.I: the aircraft which won the Battle of Britain. However, one possibility for "companion" might be the 1939/40 advanced trainer on which some of the younger BoB pilots trained - the Miles Master. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take for example their 1/72 Mosquito plans and the 1/72 Albacore. Given the increased size of a 1/32 kit and the cost and timing increases that follow, I reckon Kotare would be first to market on a Typhoon... 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony.t Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 The Walrus was built by Supermarine and also designed by Reginald Mitchell, though so were the Supermarine S.5/S.6 Schneider trophy winners.
