TheFlyingShamrock Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 3 hours ago, Peter Roberts said: Yep, my thoughts too. And plenty of variations within (the Mk I Hurricane, that is). Yeah it just seems the most logical and obvious choice. There will be a Kiwi link, its a Spitfire companion, they can do multiple versions, it will be a good seller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 A companion to a Spitfire. Another classic British fighter, a 1/32 EE Lightning! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Hurricane is more sensible, but am still quietly hoping for a Supermarine Schneider Trophy contender which is a realistic alternative. Anything much bigger than a Spitfire seems very unlikely, so maybe a Seafire. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Either of these would easily convince me to part with £100 if done to a high standard but how popular would they be on a global market? There's plenty Hurricane kits already available but there's also plenty Spitfire kits already available and yet the market is still there for more.

ABeck Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Whatever it is, a L 100 kit has to have masks and seatbelts included. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revell may have done a Mk.II but the other alternative for a Mk.I in 1/32 is the Fly or the PCM kit which is not everyone's cup of tea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 The PCM kit is pretty much unobtainable now anyway. The Fly kit is great if you have the patience and skill for it, and I've chosen to keep my three, but I am sure a Kotare one will be a less fiddly build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don149 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Yes Alt 92 , if we are talking about the same little boy , I have the image on a little brass matchbox case . It was brought back by a family friend at the end of the war . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Pancake Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I think we all kind of expected a 109 just maybe not the K... Surprised it's not an E 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missick Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Yes! New Messerschmitt, now becouse it's Kotare and the "K" it will be welcome... Have 2 pieces of Spitfire and I really like them without engine etc. Anyway, I like 109 and will buy one? for sure maby 2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think four people mentioned a 109 and everyone else had other ideas? I think it's a good choice, though, especially as a K-4 Edited January 18 by Work In Progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Disappointing: I'm sure we'd been told that Kotare would intersperse the mediocre with interesting subjects? Or did I imagine that bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Poultney Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I've recently been tempted into 1/32 by the old range of Revell gliders, and have a 1/32 Lanc unfinished that will be picked up again after I graduate uni. I didn't really have any plans to do any more 1/32, but I really like late 109s..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I think this is a super subject, a late Messerschmitt 109. I'm glad they went for this and will be first in the queue, but I would have preferred another Allied fighter ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 It's bound to be a really well researched and engineered kit so will please a lot of Luftwaffe fans and hopefully sell a lot to encourage Kotare to bring out more kits, However I am not a Luftwaffe fan and will not be buying one, but will await their next project with anticipation.

Cheers Dennis Exactly my usual position. Only I’m quite susceptible to the classic ‘Plucky Kiwis take on world’s best’ narrative, so I’ll probably end up buying one to support Kotare. I’ll start saving now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
