jinmmydel Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Y'all better stock up on clean undies before Telford kicks off! :)/> So I've heard! Tell Jim Hatch and the guys at HK I said hi. I'll be there next year...this year kinda sprung up on me. I'm anxious to see what all the other big players have coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Tapsell Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Some of us will be there from 0800 tomorrow to set it up :) 180+ vendors, all keen to sell their wares and some 5000 models to look at on the club displays and in the contest area. www.smwshow.com Models ready, money sorted, cameras charged and lenses cleaned (and undies packed too!)

K5054NZ Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'll be eagerly refreshing FB and various forums tomorrow night NZT as I look for the announcements. I've never been so excited for a show before! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Y'all better stock up on clean undies before Telford kicks off! :)/> So does that mean the T-33 will be released at the event? I know, it is still in development. Maybe a 1/72 Hercules will be announced (hopefully an E or H model, not the girly J model). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jinmmydel Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 If only I were able to go this year or next :(/> :( That's no good. Thought maybe you were going. I think you're right though, some folks will be excited I'm sure. Oh, and I'd really like to PM you... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Airfix 1/48 Ju87B-1 Airfix 1/72 Victor B.2 HK 1/32 P-51B/C!!! Exciting enough!?!?! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Airfix 1/48 Ju87B-1 Airfix 1/72 Victor B.2 HK 1/32 P-51B/C!!! Exciting enough!?!?! :)/> Hate to be a Debbie Downer but none of those really floats my boat. Maybe the HK Mustang but I'll reserve judgement until I see some reviews. Was really hoping Tamiya would have gotten around to doing this version. On the Stuka, I thought the Hase kit was pretty well regarded. Not sure what Airfix can do to set theirs apart.

caiotfjr Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 On the Stuka, I thought the Hase kit was pretty well regarded. Not sure what Airfix can do to set theirs apart. Hase's Ju-87 is a typical late 90s kit, while most Airfix current designed kits are better, like their recent 1/48th Hurricane. Also, like the Hurricane, it would probably be cheaper and the money would go to Airfix's pockets, instead of Hase's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vince14 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 HpH also announced a 1/32 Curtis SB2C-4 Helldiver... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 On the Stuka, I thought the Hase kit was pretty well regarded. Not sure what Airfix can do to set theirs apart. Airfix's first one is a B-1, which is a very different bird from the firewall forward from the B-2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the HK Mustang but I'll reserve judgement until I see some reviews. Was really hoping Tamiya would have gotten around to doing this version. They'll float a lot of other boats. I don't see Tamiya doing a P-51B/C if they haven't done so already. It would be almost a completely new kit, with almost no carryover from their D/K. HK has some of the world's best P-51 minds helping on their effort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 I'm sorry you're not excited about these announcements. Lots of people are! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sharkmouth Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 On the Stuka, I thought the Hase kit was pretty well regarded. Not sure what Airfix can do to set theirs apart. For one, they can have the correct interior as the Hasegawa kit is for the later versions. Also, surface details are smooth on the Japanese kit so I am hoping Airfix will at least add some raised rivet details (as long as the boiler plate riveter is retired).

Exciting enough!?!?! :)/> The Airfix Ju 87 was really needed in this scale I think. The Hasegawa kit is old and just meh by today's standards. I suspect the Victor excites some people too, just not my scale. The P-51! Absolutely. But I knew it was coming already :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially their locating the tail wheel opening and assy over a scale foot too far forward??? Hope they can correct it BEFORE going into production!! Bo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K5054NZ Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I don't recall seeing any P-40 photos. I wonder how they made such an error when they had a real example to work from? I can't say that had jumped out at me from the CAD images. I was hoping for more announcements, to be honest. I'm excited for the Victor and Stuka, but not the P-51 as I prefer an Allison in my high-backed ponies! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
