Prime Portal has a load of pics from the show here. http://www.primeportal.net/models/nuremberg_2009.htm
Stand outs for me were the 1/32nd F-80B and 1/48th Cessna Bobcat from Czech Model (only box arts), the Hasegawa Hawkeye 2000 (because I want to do things with the new props!) and the Roden 1/48th PC-6 Turbo Porter and Beech UC43 (Beech 17 Staggerwing).
There's also the SeaVixen in the Airfix section!

I see that Italeri is going to do a 1/35 Biber mini sub which is great and I bet the 1/48 Tamiya Austin Utility will be popular.

It's all good, baby.

Thanks for the link. Will start saving empty pop bottles and cans now!

Huzzah! Academy's doing a CV-90!

And is that a 1/48 Lynx I see under Hobby Boss?

Maverick · February 06, 2009, 03:06:20 PM

Jeremy,

I believe the Lynx is a 72nd scale offering as they're doing a HAS.3, HMA.8 and Mk 88 all in 72nd.

Regards,

Mav

They seem to be changing some of the Lynx on the Hobby Boss site. They have the Mk88 with decals for two Bundes Marine options http://hobbyboss.com/87239.htm , the Royal Navy Lynx HAS.2 which is now the French and Dutch versions but still called the "Royal Navy" HAS.2 http://hobbyboss.com/87236.htm and the "Royal Navy Super Lynx" which seems to be the HMA.8 http://hobbyboss.com/87238.htm There used to be an overall blue Royal Navy HAS.2 but it seems to be gone now and there's no sign of the Mk90 which has been on the new kit for a whilelists

1/72 Kopro MiG-23BN!

GTX · February 07, 2009, 01:24:56 PM

That Revell CMS Colombo Express would make a nice basis for a SCADS type modification.

Also, I understand the Arsenal-M A400M is 1/87 - can anyone confirm?

Regards,

Greg

Don't know whether this has already been posted, but IPMSDEUTSCHLAND.DE has a (preliminary)FULL LIST of what has been announced at Nuremberg. It doesn't contain all manufacturers or all announcements so far, though, but it will get updated soon.

I see a listing there for a 1/72 Italeri C-27J Spartan. Any idea what is meant by "Premium Edition"? Those Luftwaffe Weapons Sets sound promising.

Taiidantomcat · February 08, 2009, 12:48:30 AM

Surprised to see a T-62, Happy to see the twin Super Hornet, and Twin Typhoon though. Thanks for posting this

Could be that the C-27 includes PE and a booklet like some of their other kits at the mo'

Hi everyone, got a couple of questions. Has anybody any idea who Arsenal M are and what scale their A400M kit is, also will the kit be resin or injected?

Has anyone got any info about the OK Kit Antonov An26 kits?

Paul Harrison

Thorvic · February 08, 2009, 12:17:54 PM

Arsenal_M appear to do 1:87 scale stuff in resin, so the A-400M is possibly the same scale.

The Type 212 U-boat is 1:87 and thats shown on their website, but couldn't see the A400 or even the Transal

I will definitely be getting my paddies on the Trumpeter LAV-25 Mortar variant. Many, many moons ago (we still used pencils and aiming circles) I helped train some FDC fellows from 3rd LAI Bn. out in 29 Stumps, and I've been waiting for a 1/35 scale M252 for ever. Now, if only somebody had the M224 60mm mortar in 1/35, I'd be a happy camper.
