That is a Sweet 190! I was hoping for an all new aircraft like a Hawker Hurricane but this isn't too bad, I much prefer the A series to the Dora.

the new 1/32 plane is a FW 190A.

Now I hope we 1/18 guys will have some real news soon :wink:

TKO, how about a 1/18th scale FW-190A to go with that 32nd scale version?

yes, i wonder if we'll see it in 1/18. I'm not overly optimistic...but it's hard to believe that xd has existed 7 years now, without this staple of the luftwaffe being produced..
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

I want a 190A badly in 1:18! Provided that we get the proper angle on the landing gear just like this new 32x guy. This scheme looks great for sure. Think about how many ultra cool schemes there are for the 190A.

This FW-190 and the P-51 B/C versions would have been wonderful in 1/18th scale. :P

Actually, they could :wink: Since the release of the Zeros and Macchis nearly all the 32x pilot figures have featured some level of basic articulation in that the arms can move up or down and the head swivels. The articulated pilot figures in 1:32 include the Japanese pilot figure, Italian pilot figure, US Navy pilot figure (from the Corsair) the Stuka crewmen, the Bf-109F/G pilots and the P-51B/C pilots. The driver figure and soldier that come with the Opel Blitz truck and Maultier halftrack also have this sort of articulation.

The 1:32 line is catching up to 1:18 8)

Yes the 1/32nd line is really nice. I am really impressed with the various canopy options 21st Century did on the P-51B. Both the open canopy and the closed canopy parts are included, and they look and fit great.
