High weirdness in a new take on the old "Dogfight doubles"

How about an IJN Ta 183 vs. a Luftwaffe Me P1101? In 1/144 scale no less?

Just saw too!!!  The kits is of 2 separate aircraft and you get TWO of EACH!!!!!  When is it coming out and how much?  I want one now  :party:

 I did some looking, and while Modeling Madness usually puts up things that are currently available, I couldn't
find it in stock at Squadron or Hannants. Its certainly a deal, though.

Here's an interesting one: an MD.450 Barougan, that is to say, an Ouragan modified for rough field ops with twin wheel main gear retracting into wing root fairings:

Make an interesting display pair with one of those Polish LIM-5Ms (MiG-17 with rough field gear) wouldn't it?

I'm sure that must be better than the old Delta/Supermodel Caproni Campini (Which wouldn't be difficult.......) but I'm sot sure I like the price for such a small aircraft.  :unsure:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Valom can take some work Kit, but they come out all right in the end

I wish I could say the same about the Delta/Supermodel Camproni Campini! One of the few model builds of mine that have ended up in the bin. It was so bad I stamped on it.........  :banghead:

Dizzyfugu

They are offering a Pakistani Brigand!?


NARSES2

Yup I was surprised, so checked they had them and was even more surprised to learn that the PAF was the RPAF until the mid 50's.

I've got a couple of the original boxings as I've always liked the Brigand

The straight winged Fury is such a cool looking little beast ! Tip tanks and all  :wub:

Pricey for such a small bird tho.

Got the Fury two weeks ago - it's a decent kit, IMHO a bit pricey for what you get. And it's bigger than you'd expect, the tubby fuselage is deceiving.
