Juanjo D. Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 about this kit??? http://data4.primeportal.net/models/thomas...boss_1_of_4.jpg New mould??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richuk Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I've not heard or seen anything about this kit, although quite possibly a rebox of the KP/Italeri/Revell kits. I'd welcome a re-tool version as you can never have too many Mil's out there in my book. Rich PS Going off the box art though, they'd better call in a medevac as that guy is going to break something jumping out at that height from a moving heli!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm hoping this will be a new-tool. Because then - maybe - the Mi-24 will also be a new-tool! In any way, Rich is right: There can't ever be too many Mils out there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickeyThickey Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I can pretty much guarantee it'll be new tool. HobbyBoss don't have any agreements with other manufacturers for tooling leasing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arkhunter2002 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I think that they are a hit and miss company. Correct me if I am wrong, but accuracy wise, the UH-34 and the CH-46's were hits, and the UH-60 and AH-64 were misses. We can hope for the best though. Take care, Austin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Intruder_bass Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Isn't Hobby Boss related to Trumpeter? If so then 1/72 Hip might be downscaled 1/35 Trumpeter one which is not bad :-)) Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Juanjo D. Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 AFAIK Hobby Boss has no "reissued" mold in their range... So I hope this will be a new one!!! (fingers crossed) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Juanjo D. Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 I found this.... http://www.argo.net.au/jbwhole/hobbyboss/h...s72aircraft.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richuk Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Looks like a new Mil-24 as well Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Juanjo D. Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Looks like a new Mil-24 as wellRich Yep, and very eye catching too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 ^ Oh, very cool! I always wanted to build that very Hind! I know HobbyBoss doesn't rebox, but - IIRC - the CH-46 was related to the Fujimi kit, while the UH-34 was related to Italeri's offering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Interesting news! A newly tooled Mi-8 or even 24 sounds tempting, even if they were miniature versions of the much bigger Trumpy versions. Those should be pretty accurate though, shouldn't they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
