1/72 AH-1G by AZ Model (be still, my beating heart!)

But whose kit will they have used as a pattern?  Their Spitfires and Hurricanes contain parts that are identical to parts used by other manufacturers whilst the Seafang, Spiteful and Attacker are fingerprint identical clones of the CMR kits.

Nobody noticed the new mold AZmodel kit(s) of the Gotha P-60 jet fighter? This is great news!

Most here will not like the other big news of the show, its the new mold 1/32 scale Revell Bf 109G-6...if I could only get my hands on that one (Matrixone drooling at the thought).

Italeri is releasing a Short Stirling Mk 1 in 72nd, sometime.

Not sure if that was noted at the show but is in their 2013 catalog.

[The Wooksta!]

Beleive it when it's in your hands.  There's a lot from previous Italeri catalogues that has yet to appear.  Canberra B2?

[Captain Canada]

Holy...2013 looks like it's going to be one awesome year for modellers ! Can't wait for all this cool stuff to come out !

And are those a pile of Trackers and Tracers on that 1:530 Revell kit ? Oh yeah !

This is a problem?  Has CMR complained?   I'd have thought you'd appreciated them bringing your CMR kit at an injected moulded plastic price.

[The Wooksta!]

I don't know if CMR have realised but one of the guys from AZ has admitted that they used CMR kits as a pattern for some of their releases and it's a well known fact that piracy is rife in the Czech Republic.

Hobbyboss Gladiator, AZ Chippy and Tiger Moth Italeri X-Craft sub too, ooohh (aw stil no CASA 295 tho )

Did you spot AModel are doing a 1/72nd Tradewind and Beech Starship

[Weaver]

Has that Airfix Typhoon got openable gun bay doors?

Wow, the Tradewind is long overdue! I'm amazed Mach 2 haven't tried it, but it will be a) BIG and b) expensive!

Sanger, or someone similar, did the Starship as a rather good vacform a while back, I have one somewhere......

The Tradewind has been on Hannants 'Future' list for some time Geoff,  But I've got a 1/72 one already, the Combat Models vacuform (+detail set) which is not too bad and only cost a fraction of the A-Model cost.

[Mossie]

A chippy and a Tiggy, excellent!  I'll nearly bought an Airfix chippy the other day, guess I'll wait for the AZ kit.  Starship is good to see.

[NARSES2]

Has that Airfix Typhoon got openable gun bay doors? 

Certainly looks like it
