It just so happened they made the announcement at almost exactly the same time Meng announced theirs.  Delta Darts and buses and all that!

They are doing a J-10B (the one with the fancy intake similar to the Americans Diverterless intake) in 1/72nd, due January.

Yeap, should go down well as the current production model and plenty of export potential for us lot to whiff with it.

The Su-24 Fencer D is also out next month, although that's now a rather topical kit, so should be a rather good seller

Does the fact I thought that too make me a horrible person? Probably not as horrible as if I'd suggested someone release a Dogfight Doubles set.

That would be the Turkish militia with TOW missiles and Mil Mi 8 set.

There's a lot about that whole shoot down incident that we're not being told.

My wife berated me because I was more upset seeing the demise of one of my favourite a/c, and not the demise of a crewmember. I've always felt that even objects have a soul of sorts. If it had been a SU-34 I'd have been inconsolable.

102s and 106s sound good !

Having seen the catalogue on-line, still no Ark Royal but the Air Group is listed. Interestingly the two ferman carriers are listed in 1/350 but airgroup is listed in 1/700 !!!

Trumpeter do appear to be doing the Su-34 in 1/38th scale along with a variety of Flankers, they are also doing the Mig-31 in 72nd to go with their Flankers and Fulcums

A page of 1/48 releases was shared on Facebook last night - I'm at work so can't link to it - including a photo of this gorgeous aircraft which has been a favourite of mine for a while:





The world's sole airworthy Lavochkin La-9, NATO name Fritz...labelled by Trumpeter as an La-11 Fang.

People keep telling me about how poor Trumpeter's research is, and I try to be positive.


Anywho, regardless of type this should be awesome. As far as I know the best La-11 kit is a resin one, so this should be a bit cheaper for me and easier to build.

They've also posted the Hobby Boss catalogue: LINK!

Excellent, thanks Moritz! I'm off to spend some quality time with scalemodels.ru.

A 1/72 TU-22, and now a 1/48 SU-34....I'll see you all in the Spring .

One for the rivet-counters

[KiwiZac]

That's priceless!

There's a 1/72nd Shenyang J-31 Gyrfalcon due in October.
