Derwentsider Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 As far as I know,all that had been announced was the ADV and IDS in 1/48 at the back end of last year. These designations could cover almost all bases so fingers crossed. I think anything else would be speculation at this early stage,but I had a look at their MiG-17 recently and it looked very nice on the sprues (GR.4 with Storm Shadows and dropped slats/flaps please) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if 2009 can mean "maybe" or "for sure" ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Roberts Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I strongly suspect that the generic Tornado designations are being used as stand ins until more info regarding the actual releases is known. There will be a Tornado ADV series (a couple at least) and an IDS series that will probably run 3-5 boxings (depends in my mind if the Italian and Saudi releases get thier own release or are bundled with the Luftwaffe and RAF GR-1 boxings) If one notices there are other 'generic' catalog place holders in the list, the F-111 (an 'A' prototype was shown - figure 3 or 4 at least), the SLUF (the A-7A is the only single seater shown; think of how many 72nd SLUFs were popped out) and I figure the F3H Demon (if the Fury is any indication we'll probably get a couple of boxings at least) Since the actual designated version is not yet known I'd figure we're at least 6 months out before either is known. Slight chance by UK Nats and probably out by Nurenburg 2010. Keep an eye on Rumour Central and the Hobbyboss/Trumpeter thread. Any news we find shows up in there pretty soon.
