RoNaf Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Does the Trumpy T-72 in 1/26 have a full interior? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyWan Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 That Kinetic Hornet looks promising... also... someone get better pics of that new 1/32 Super Hornet!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RoNaf Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 And no trumpy Mig-29s in 1/32? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
echolmberg Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Did I see that right? A 1/48 Spitfire from Revell with only 30-some-odd parts??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper730 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 The Mini Art T-44 Russian MBT has me Super EXCITED! and so does the ZM Phantom & the Kinetic F/A-18 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve N Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Did I see that right? A 1/48 Spitfire from Revell with only 30-some-odd parts??? I'm assuming it's a re-pop of the venerable 1970s-vintage tooling. I'm curious as to why they'd bother with a new-tool 1/72 early Spit. I would have thought Airfix had pretty much cornered that market. SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I want that Trumpeter shipping container. Not making a diorama - I just like shipping containers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaz Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) I was expecting the Hasegawa booth to show off, or at least mention, their new large-scale Zero and Honda N360 for release this March. However, the lists and photos around the internet are currently incomplete, no Aoshima or Belkits even if we know they're present. The new ZM 1/32 Phantom has been in the 3D-printed prototype stage for a long time already. :unsure:/> Edited January 28, 2016 by kaz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The airfix Spitfire I is not that great of a kit. I for one welcome a new option from Revell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RoNaf Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 What about the 1/32 Lancaster from HK models? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exhausted Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Trumpeter has some stuff, but I didn't see any HB on the website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Why do we call Nürnberg "Nuremberg" anyway? I think the Germans know how to spell their own city. They don't call it "Nef Yerk" do they? :) Edited January 29, 2016 by Jennings Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They don't call it "Nef Yerk" do they? :)/>/>/> Because it's the standard Anglicized form of Nürnberg, I doubt Austrians should force English speakers to call their capital "Wien" instead of "Vienna". :P/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) It's always seemed weird to me to change place names when spoken in another language. I can say "Par-ee" as easily as I can say "Par-iss", "Veen" as easily as "Vienna", and "Nurn-berg" as easily (easier, actually, it's less syllables) as I can say "Nur-em-berg". Is "Anchorage" said differently in Swahili or Urdu than in English? I don't think so! Edited January 29, 2016 by Jennings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 ...and yet you call them 'Germans'. You also refer to 'Japan'. And 'China'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beingthehero Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I just call them "THEM FOREIGNERS". Works well enough! ...unless they're from Eastern Europe. :P/>/> I, too, was hoping to see more from Trumpeter. Looks more like a review of releases from last year to me, but then again I'm mostly paying attention to post-Soviet aircraft. :X Still, that large-scale F-35 looks awfully tempting!

SinisterVampire319 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I want that Trumpeter shipping container. Not making a diorama - I just like shipping containers. That should be their best kit ever! Since they see so many of those, with all the crap China ships to us and the world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, I'm no large-scale builder but the F-35 is a fine announcement, it should've had more decal options than RAAF and USAF however. To be frank, there aren't too many surprises in the show for me, much of the products the manufacturers show off were releases from last year and this January or already well-known announcements if they're future releases. For fans of Dragon or MENG, they didn't even attend. Things could've been better for model kits but AFAIK it's the only major exhibit in Europe where kit company reps can interact with potential investors and customers from a wider spectrum.

Seems like this vanished which bums me out. Mike Xuntong waasn't around in Nuremberg, or were they? Smaller companies like Xuntong are normally slower in releasing new products, so we only need some patience even when it appears to take forever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
