Matt Roberts Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Ok here is a surprise this morning on Aeroscale. Another quarter scale Fw-189, that sounds to be released at the Tokyo Hobby Show in a few weeks. So we'll see two new models of the subject in 2010/11 with the ICM release http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?...le&sid=7584 A first release from Great Wall Hobby, I am used to seeing them in armor kits - usally of German subjects lately. Lion Roar is the resin side of the company Maybe not a huge release, but a first release on a new front in the assault on our bank balances from Our Benevolent Chinese Hobby Overlords. The FW-189 has not shown up on the Lion Raor website yet - but I'll post pics when available. Until then take a look at Aeroscale.com http://www.lionroar.net/index.asp No idea on the price or when it will show up at our favorite shops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I'll be badgering GWH's UK importers airbrushes.com for a review sample as soon as that hits these shores. I remember building an Airfix kit of this as a kid, and I suspect I left all the canopy glazing clear - there was quite a lot of it, afterall!

pigsty Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Didnt someone else do one in 1:40 but it was the unarmed version or something? MPM did both the A and the B (the staff transport version) in 1/48. They fetch truly stupid money now - worth around £50 - so it will be interesting to see what Great Wall are planning to charge. Mike, I'm now all but semi-professional as a reviewer, and have the MPM one already, so I could do a comparative review for you if you like?
