Hi there chaps, Thought perhaps we could create a new thread (and get it pinned by the mods)... listing the upcoming releases of our beloved plastic addictions. So far in 48... we're expecting: L-29 Delfin from Avant Garde models T-38 Talon from Wolfpack F-1C (and rumors of an A)... from Kittyhawk Mig-25 from Kittyhawk Mig-31 from AMK AH-1Z/UH-1Y from Kittyhawk Seasprite from Kittyhawk F-15 B/D from Great Wall Hobbies Mig-29 9-12 or something from Great Wall hobbies Mil Mi-2 Hoplite from Aeroplast A-26B Invader from Musthave Spitfire XVIe and Bf-109 G6 from Eduard I find it quite interesting that all these new manufacturers are producing kits (and much desired and needed kits).. where the old giants of the industry have become almost lazy. The last 48er we got from Hasegawa was their F-22 (with cheese grater RAM panels)... and from Tamiya, we got their Il-2. Eduard is becoming a more and more prominent player in the plastic market... their incredible Spitfire IX and Mig-21 are the proof in the pudding. Im sure there are a few that I've missed... but feel free to add in! Hopefully Dean or Kremlin can sticky this for us... |

Theuns, I am with you on that... there are a few ways to get a slatted Sabre... either you have to dig and look for the Cutting Edge slat set, or butcher a Revell F-86D for its slat set. But can we please keep this on topic with actual kits being produced and soon to be released, rather than turn it into a wishlist thread? |

Yes, Mr. T - a CL-13 in 32nd will do nicely. Other new releases - released today - Meng 32nd scale Me163 - this is going to sell like hot cakes Speculation of a Ho229, again in 32nd scale What about some other great recent releases : GWH FW189 48th Xuntong Tupolev Tu-2 48th Trumpeter Mig 21F-13 48th Italeri F-104 32nd scale - to be released by December |

No doubt the Revell one is a rerelease of their previous 410 which was good. However, the Meng kit is in a different league and reasonably priced on Hobbyeasy or similar. |
