Timvkampen Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 (edited) Hi all, Thanks for viewing my lobby/poll this week. I hope to contribute some pics of my Crusader in progress fairly soon. HTH Tim Edited January 14, 2006 by Timvkampen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anj4de Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Hi all Happy new year to you all! Where do I have to make my X for the 1/32 Crusader? Tamiya would be a dream but if Trumpeter and Academy follow the ways they started taking with the F-18 and the Avenger or Me-262 everything will be good. Count me in for 1 or 2 or 3.... cheers Uwe PS: Thanks for posting the picture, not only one of the most beautiful fighters arround but also from THE No.1 squadron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyH Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Go Navy! Count me in! Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mungo1974 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Well i would like one ....but only after they have done my beloved F-111 in 1/32!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spunk-Y Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Count me in also, (and for all the other nice aircraft that deserve an 1/32 model, F-111, F-101, F-102, F-106, and an Jaguar Mk.1 or 4 would also be nice ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I'd like one, with the provision that they don't booger up the intake and canopy like they did on the A-7. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 (edited) Maybe if ARC and Hyperscale, cybermodeler etc would combine efforts a lobby would be effective. Is there anyone who is in direct contact with the manufactorers Tamiya, Trumpeter or Academy? I am about to order the a-7e from trumpeter and heard of the bad intake job...this also applies to the Hasegawa 1/48th Crusader (that i'm currently building), but seamless suckers provided a nice replacement part for it. two more pics to underline my lobby/wish.

Is there anyone who is in direct contact with the manufactorers Tamiya, Trumpeter or Academy? Personally, I think that, like polls, the Internet may give a skewed idea of what people want. Say a dozen people here, another dozen over at HS, and another dozen over at LSP say they all want Trumpeter to do a 1/32 F-8E. I'm not sure if I were running Trumpeter that 36 guys saying they want one would be enough to make me authorize spending a couple of hundred grand (or whatever) to cut some molds. I think they need to be convinced by their own research that there are enough people really interested to make it worthwhile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 I guess you are right. Still there must be a market for it as Trumpeter issued an A-7E. We'll see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stusbke Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Count me in for a couple french and navy and a marine man bring it on ;) maybe trumpeter would like to do these and give me the prowler after they made the crusader no rush i can wait :lol: ooh and academy make me a f-14 damned we need it badly and give all the axtras to build all 3 variants :D greetz STB frederick jacobs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Rock Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I can't see how MiG-29M and MiG-29K could be more interesting than F-8 Crusader.I am a Fulcrum nut,but M and K versions just don't cut it for me. Regards,Miro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) Thanks guys. Looking at the different numbers of viewers of the topic on the different forums it seems there are a lot more modelers with us. Edited January 5, 2006 by Timvkampen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spaced Marine Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Add my name to the list. A 1/32 Crusader? Heck yeah! Since Hasegawa has the 1/48 kit, shouldn't they have the leg up on the research and master parts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zactoman Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I'd vote for one. Preferably from Academy, Revell, Tamiya or Hasegawa though... :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stusbke Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I'd vote for one. Preferably from Academy, Revell, Tamiya or Hasegawa though... well im suprised you said that since its trumpeter who's kepping you in busines? :D franckly i dont care who does if it gets done then thats fine i just hope they would retool some other kits in 1/32 so you can actualy build it oob without all the updates greetz STB frederick jacobs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Colvin Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hmm let me see 2 or 3 please. Then complete the century series, followed by an A 1h/j. I do not want much lol. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 :lol: I think Hasegawa could indeed step up to the plate while they have already done a lot of research. Of course any manufaturer could also benefit from the work José Herculano did (see also his Crusader Study Group)...and I have acquired a lot of info on the jet too, so if they'd ask me for info i'd be happy to supply it. This fighter deserves to be issued in the 1/32 scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) the counter is at 300 plus at this site alone. I'll keep lobbying... Edited January 5, 2006 by Timvkampen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlyNavy1958 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I'd take some of this action, if we're dealt in! I'd love to see 1/32 of some of the lesser seen USN a/c: stoofs, furies, fireballs, skyknights, demons, tigers and supertigers! PH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 I don't know if the group builders of the A-7/ F-8 know this yahoo group, but here you go: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CrusaderStudyGroup/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JCB Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Crusader in 32 scale would be way cool!!!! Sundowners linage could be done from F-8 to F-14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) and another one for the record. Tim Edited January 9, 2006 by Timvkampen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscusn Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Well the stash is growing in 32nd scale. I would be down for a Crusader in 32nd scale. Working on the Academy 72nd scale kit now which is a gem. I can imagine what it would be like in 32nd scale. Mostly a 48th scale nut by nature, but have picked up a few 32nd scale kit the last couple of years, but trying to limit it to just USN only. So I'm in.

Timvkampen Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 A new week, a new pic and also for the US navy fans: check this out: http://ultra.glo.be/daco/ Uncovered: the F-14!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Hingtgen Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'd love one, provided all the various wing configurations FIT. (The Hase 48 has issues with flaps down, 72nd Academy takes a ton of sanding to get the wing to fit down (since it's far more work to try to lower the flaps and slats on it) And get the radar screen right, instead of tilted at a 45-degree angle like the one photo that is apparently the only one ever used as a cockpit reference. Also---an early style nose! I like the C and D the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
