Questions:

1. When/if will JSI release pilots for the F-14?
2. When will Dragon release the XB-70, U-2, TR-1, etc. and price range?
3. Will FOV re-release the 1/16 King Tiger-Peiper?
4. If Admiral is at the hobby show, when will the Sopwith Camel, SBD Dauntless, Fokker Triplane be released?

Thanks for help on these questions.

[Sabrefan]

Could you ask JSI if the F-15 will be made? Thanks.

[AMERICAN_GRENADIER]

To MRC.

When do they if ever plan to release their Pz IIIs, Pz IVs and Sdkfz.9s
I know all they DO is build and paint Trumpeter kits, and if that IS the case, then the Sdkfz.9 should be coming, since Trump has done 5 kits(2 sdkfz.9, 2 Sdkfz.9/1 and a Sdkfz.9 w/trailer) and the trailer is also sold by itself in kit form.

Now I know that the Panzers have no kits at the moment, but really these have been planned or promised since 2008, the same time HM promised their Pz IV and IMO both puckered their arses when Dragon trumped both with their better(than both companies can produce currently since in 2010) and cheaper(to HM's offerings) PzKpfw IV ausf.G for 3.SS Panzer/Kharkov '43

One question I have for those wacky Model Power people----just to satisfy my curiosity. Two years go they invited collectors and anyone else who cared to vote on their next toolings. Six were declared winners. Of these, the Cessna Bird Dog is the only one to appear. The others included a TBF, F6F and BF-110---I've forgotten the rest. So the question is simply this, "Have the other five winners been delayed or has MP given up on them?" Thanks.

[GI546]

have some questions for unimax.
will we ever see any north african or pacific figures/vehicles?

[snake]

Thanks AG.

I am sure that you have a good feel for the questions to ask.

Here are some of mine.

Will Dragon be releasing the XB-70, U2, etc.
Any new models from CW? Vigilante?
JSI F-15, Su27?

I think re-release the 1/16 King Tiger-Peiper would be a bad more for FOV , better to come out with a different paint job / turret

[ketelone]

I do not think Dragon attends.. I think they have their own show. When I attended last year I spoke to quite a few reps and for most part they knew very little. Most of this years supposed releases have yet to be released. FOV was the only outfit that was fairly accurate with respect to their 2010 releases.

[Panzer_M]

DX10 is in the works. Not sure on what promo or veterns will be there yet..if any have annouced. I haven't checked the site..last year kinda sucked for DX09, as all the special stuff was Dragon Dolls(1/6) and no diecast or model kits at all IIRC.

Dragon normally doesnt show up but this year they are. my salesamn and i are meeting for dinner. see what i can find out about DX10

[Dauntless]

Ask if Minichamps will be releasing another repainted version of the 1:18 Kubelwagon, and what color scheme is it if they are?

Or...(what most people would want I think) are they going to release more of the popular gray version or something similar?


If you meet with JSI, when is the P-40B repaint of the Flying Tigers coming out? Any plans for more WWII aircraft or repaints of existing JSI aircraft? (like another OD green P-38 perhaps?)

looks to be more dragon dolls and little to none of anything in smaller scales.

Another question: Find out what is BBI going to do for 2011....more hibernation?

[ram04]

I guess anything WWII in 1:18, aircraft or armor.

[Yoxford]

My question is for Unimax/Panache: Is the next 1/16 Extreme Metal Panzer IV on schedule and is there a solid release date and price set?

Thanks AMERICAN_GRENADIER

[AMERICAN_GRENADIER]

as for BBI they wont be in Chicago. i had a long conversation with them and they have NOTHING planned for the new year. what a shame

[EnemyAce]

I'd like you to suggest to Unimax a Marder II as follow up to the Wespe (same chassis/running gear) and to possibly retool the 105mm gun from the Wespe and release it as a standalone 105mm German artillery piece.

Definitely press MRC on the Pz IV, Pz III, and Stug III series.

Tell HM to do a 1:72 JS-II already.
