352nd Fighter Group Posted February 4 Posted February 4 It will be Really nice if Special hobby do release the Tempest V this year then the MK.II in 2026
The wooksta V2.0 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 The only one I have any interest in is the Mosquito - which mark is first, when is it out and how much? Oh, and confirmation that there is a PR34 to come would be wonderful too.
Adam Poultney Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Yay another thread I can predict a 1/72 Do217 on! 5

oggy4u Posted February 5 Posted February 5 I know that SH will re-release the 1/48 Loire 130 this year.

I’d be keen for a couple of the variants Modelsvit didn’t do. 5, R, those canardy ones etc. I repeatedly asked Mr.Riedel about the Mirage line. He said they are even considering exotic variants like Pantera, etc., but only as multimedia kits with version specific parts such as canards, different noses, IFR probes provided as 3D prints or resin. But this was more than 2 years ago. Ever since the war in Ukraine started, his only response to the Mirage topic is that everything is uncertain and they are 'waiting for their Ukrainian partners" / tooling company. So, I wouldn't expect a lot this year as far as MIII is concerned. Having said that, he also hinted at more Mirage F.1 boxings, since this kit is one of their best sellers. Particularly he mentioned looking into special Tigermeet markings for a future release. Whether it will be this year is unclear. Concerning Modelsvit Mirages, the line should have continued with IAI Dagger and Atlas Cheetah, but they stopped after MIIIO. As far as I know, they never announced Mirage 5 variants. I do plan to look for a Modelsvit rep this year at Moson and interrogate them on the topic. 🤣 4 3
Dennis_C Posted February 5 Posted February 5 I think for both ModelSvit and Special Hobby the turning point for continuation of Mirage series is the end to active military actions in Ukraine. Nesher is what I get from any of SH or MS whoever is the first to release it. 1
GioCare Posted February 5 Posted February 5 waiting for more about the announced FIAT CR 32 in more than a single scale: 1/72, 1/48, 1/32 ?
Mountain goat Posted February 5 Posted February 5 8 hours ago, Piotr Mikolajski said: Plus the continuation/completion of various families, all 1/72: Dassault Mirage IIIE Dassault Mirage IIIR Mirage 5F I want four or five IIIEs, same for the III/ 5R, and three Belgian Mirage 5s. I'd already be happy if only one of these versions came out. The last Special Hobby product I bought was the IIIC. Lovely kit. Now please for the 'mature' delta Mirages. Jay 1
352nd Fighter Group Posted February 5 Posted February 5 The main ones I am Looking forward to are the Mosquito Tempest & the A1-F Skyraider
Dennis_C Posted February 5 Posted February 5 I heavily suspect Sword will be faster than SH to finally bring wide body Skyraiders. But definitely not before I spend much more time on the A&A kitastrophy. 3
luis pacheco Posted February 5 Posted February 5 At the time, they should have taken advantage of the launch of Kinetic's Pucara to launch it in 1/72.

Cheers, Mark Unless they have improved something in the kit you might be better off trying to get hold of an earlier boxing, unless of course you prefer the print quality of Eduard's modern decals. 1
