HistnScale Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Ok, that takes care of the tie in to the 1/48th armour. Now can we get on to the B-17? :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

is it windy yet? Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 So many people seem so disappointed with this announcement. I'm not thrilled about it, nor am I disappointed. I would have rather it been a new F-14D, but... I will buy at least one, and build it, and enjoy the build. I will more than likely buy their 103, and 104th release too. Other companies can stick their neck out and tool up the Wounded Wing P-13.2. Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desilva6 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'm excited about it. The Storch was a very successsful design with ton's of markings options. German, Italian, French, Vietnamese, plus some allied markings too I believe. We have the old Esci kit now right? Tamiya is assured to do this one state of the art with all the bells and whistles. As long as its not 50 bucks I'll buy one. I'd also be excited to see a new tool Grasshopper, Lysander, and Stinson too. We need more utility type a/c to model. Not everything goes 400 mph and shoots .50 calibers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because I thought Hasegawa had already done the definitive model of the Storch in 32nd (it's old but it's still quite competitive, least seems to be.) Patrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

desilva6 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yeah, I was talkin 48th scale. There a several kits of those I mentioned in other scales. I've been reading the other boards today and can't believe all the negative comments on it so far. I'll just have to buy two Storch's I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am not crazy about it but only because i have the ESCI kit plus brass and a resin Cutting Edge engine set done by Scotty Battistoni while he was at Meteor Productions. I do have all of Mike Grant's decal sheets too. I will probably buy the Tamiya kit if it is substanially better. joe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chomper Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Wow. I'll take that money and buy a kit that I really want. Big Hairy Deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jr_rules2 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I'm disappointed. Oh well, those Tamiya kits are too expensive anyway. Plus we always hasegawa that comes out with cool 1/48 props - and better priced too! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlicari Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I'm not excited about this one either, perhaps mostly because we all expected something more "big" or "splashy". I have nothing against observation planes, and have built quite a few, but for a release like this it seems underwhelming. Anyone know what the projected cost is? Tamiya kits seem to have jumped in price. :D Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrallman Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I am ok with the Storch, though maybe not to commemorate something significant like their 100th kit. Why not do something a little more, well, flamboyant for their 100th, then do the Storch after. Its a cool little plane, and as long as it isnt overpriced, Ill get one im sure, maybe do some tropical markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TF51GREGWISE Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I've been working over at Fantasy of Flight on their P-51D and looking at a storch sitting right next to her. I gotta say I'm looking forward to getting a kit. I think it's a pretty cool aircraft. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heraldcoupe Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Should be a good subject to show off the finesse of modern moulding technology. That's a very delicate aircraft. It's a perfect crossover between Tamiya's 1/48th armour and aircraft series'. Cheers, Bill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Walker Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 A couple of those photos of the Storch will be very helpful if I end up buying the kit. Thanks for posting them Greg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Henrik B Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I think it's fantastic. I will do mine in Swedish markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TF51GREGWISE Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I shot many more. I'll post them later somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vrsa Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Storch is a great plane. Produced in great numbers, even after the war (France & Yugoslavia). Kit will look nice even with armour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
