New upcoming kits that your looking forward too

Post by **Always48** » Tue May 17, 2016 8:13 pm

Well heres the idea. when you hear of a kit being released or re-released put it in the thread, so others can get excited too.

ground rules:
No comments from manufacturer haters trying to take the kit apart. Or claiming all the inaccuracies
No moaning about the wether we need say another F16.

Just a simple post to say something like "im really looking forward to Xyz release of the new F123" and if yourve got a picture even better

OK - I'll go first

I like the look of this baby - Airfix Handley Page Victor B.2 1:72 http://www.airfix.com/uk-en/shop/new-fo ... -1-72.html

I was based at Marham for a while in the '90's and only saw them in their K2 guise but there was something quite menacing about their look even then. The kind of look you still see in the eyes of old boxers who know they've still got it and will put you on your backside if you don't treat them with the respect they've earned.

A kit dating from the time when the RAF was still the tip of the spear rather than getting the shaft - if you get my meaning - and taking me back to my childhood when I still had aspirations to be one of the few who flew these mighty machines. Plus it's scheduled to hit the shelves bang in time for my birthday - I can't think of a better treat for myself.

I am really looking forward to the HK Models release of the new 1/32 scale B-17. I can't wait to see this thing.

I mean a 1/32scale bomber must be huge!

Should be fun talking the wife into letting me purchase it.

Sincerely,

Richard

Dragon's new Star Wars kits have got me drooling on my keyboard. AT-AT, AT-ST, Speeder, X-Wing, Tie Fighter. Cannot wait, sometime in 2016

Bandai keep releasing new SW kits too. Saw an A-Wing this morning and a Star Destroyer! New for 2016

I know they have a Star Destroyer Mecha Colle (a 4 inch model), but are they talking about the 1/1700 they had on display at their reveal shows a couple years back?! That thing was like 36-38 inches long...

Edit to add: A pic from I think the 2014 show:

Oh my, ive just gone all weak at the knees... i want it already and thats why i started this thread. i didnt know that was coming along.
That B17 would be something! try hanging it from your ceiling and i fear the roof might fall in.

AT-ST besides the millium falcon is one off the coolest machines ever dreamt up.

Yeah I know. But the detail looks incredible. Lots of parts it looks like. Should be a challenging build.

Definitely sounds fun, plus you could add lighting, some motors and have model displaying motion

Not to mention the cost. It's like $300.00 or $400.00. It is crazy expensive.

You'r not the only one! But I'm looking at something else. I have a bit of a soft spot for the SAAB 35 Draken, so the question is only how many to get? I have one on pre-order, but I might need to order at least one more.

Post by **Icemannique** » Wed May 25, 2016 9:50 pm

I probably order that Draken too, just because it has Finnish markings on it too !

Yeah, and they're not particularly good either! Tanmodel are doing one in 1/72, maybe bigger scales later, thay said

I'm looking forward to seeing what Tamiya have done with the 48 scale Tomcat and if it will be a nice kit. I would love to see a new Buccaneer in 48 scale tooling a new Hind in 1/48 scale

darn it, im dribbling again ! thought the future was going to be easier but now i hear there is 2 more kits to desire....F14s from both tamiya and Amk...add to that a F18 from kinectic i'm going to need another job

Post by **Stokesy44** » Mon Jun 06, 2016 10:06 am

Just seen some test shots on Trumpeter's new 1/16 offering. Its only a Jagdtiger!!

Cant begin to think what it will cost. Cheapest I've seen for their Panzer 4s is £175 and north of £200 for their Tiger 2. Lordy Lordy I want it but I'm gonna have to ask you lot for donations!

I could wait for it to get cheaper when it comes out but it may go UP in price if its popular.

Alternatively I could try a smaller offering for my first go at 1/16. This new Luchs looks tasty and has had some good in-box reviews.

https://www.emodels.co.uk/classy-hobby- ... 16001.html

Alternatively (version 2), I could just keep my powder dry and drool about Dragon's new Star Wars stuff - whenever it comes out!!

Mengs Leopard 2a7. Havn't even built the challenger 2 I restarted the hobby with, but I already know what my next buy will be. (I'm pretty sure this is how stashes start right?)

Post by **Spook** » Mon Jun 06, 2016 9:14 pm

I've read that HK are bringing out a 1:32 UK PHANTOM.i hope it's true as its the only time I'll buy a 1:32
