I wonder how well kits of Starfighters sell in Germany?  ;)

They probably go down a treat.

I suppose you just make space for the model and wait for it to arrive?

I reckon they sell in spades at first with every new release, but sales usually plummet sooner or later.  ;)

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I thought they paid you to take a Starfighter?  ;)

I've just read thru all the posts since Moritz first mentioned the Bucc & Sea Venom.... Some good observations and generally great stuff discussed sensibly here... However I would like to spoil the party by reminding all that this is the DRAGON/DML thread  ;)

I mention this solely as I want to contribute, but would take the whole thing even further off-topic. :blink:

One of the tragic ironies is that the German who signed the purchase deal to the Starfighter lost his son (a Luftwaffe pilot) in one of the first crashes.

G'day Gang,

Cyber-Hobby have released a 32nd scale 109E which looks quite good in review.  Lots of decal options including the obligatory Galland and Wick along with others, all quoted as E-4s but there seems to be extra bits for other versions in the box which includes an engine.

I've put this link in here because CH is a subsidiary of the group.

It seems Dragon is intending on releasing an injection moulded 35th scale Neubau-Fahrzeug amongst others.

AND a British Army 25 pounder and limber too!  :thumbsup:

Are those all new and upcoming kits Mav? I used to be No. 3 on a 25 pdr when I was in the CCF, I'd love a model of one!

Kit, Dragon has a rather annoying habit of 'announcing' an 'upcoming' model, but then casually lets the modelling public wait years or even doesn't release it at all.  I'm reminded of their two LAV kits (one of a Marine Recon model and the other SF) from Desert Storm that never materialised, but were something I was very keen on seeing.

Their NbFz is another of these, but whether it makes it to plastic is another matter.  I'd hope that something more 'mainstream' like the 25pdr would be a given, but as I say, Dragon can be rather capricious to say the least.

Regards,

Mav

I think you'll be ok with the NbFz as already has box art and CGI, the ones that don't see the light of day are the generally the ones with just an original photo.

The Neubaufahrzeug in bare plastic built from a test shot can be seen >>HERE<< on Missing-Lynx.

Something about the Neubaufahrzeug's looks make it tailor-made for whiffing. Hatay, anyone? Or something for the Imperial Japanese Army? Or switch some hatches and the machine gun turrets for 1/72 equivalents and scale-o-rama it into a really heavy tank!  :wacko:
