what do you think the first "surprise" of 2009 wil

Panzer_M · Post by **Panzer_M** » Sat Jan 10, 2009 10:50 pm

in 1/32 aircraft.

nothing that's been in the news already..I'm talking something when it get's press or just drops on the shelf..it's the first time seeing it?

I'm hoping 21st can do a 1/32 262B Nachtjager or BBi can do a Ju87D-5 fully decked out to the level of the SBD/F4F..or if they want to keep the Pac theme going a Buffalo(Brit,Dutch or American)

A Stuka tank buster version would be sweet.

21st could have followed up with the more sleek streamlined Stuka and sold them easily me thinks.

If I had a Buffalo I'd want the Midway Buffalo.

I'd buy one. The Dauntless and Wildcat aand of course the F4 are phenominal.

IF ANYONE IS LEFT TO PRODUCE ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like BBI will be the only producer of anything new in 2009.
We might see repaints from 21st but if they really have lost Walmart, I doubt we will see even that.

whats strange about WM is they havnt discounted the playset?
I think that maybe a positive sign we are hoping for. maybe they will be bringing some more things back in

I was surprised by the Bravo Team 1/32 at Target

ketelone · Post by **ketelone** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 12:17 pm

The Bravo Team box shows the P51,1/32, and the 1/48 choppers. They also show one German aircraft, I think an ME109. Target never carried the FOV ME109 even though it was on the back of the FOV box which showed the P51, the Spitfire, etc. German aircraft would be welcome at Target....

well Dragon already brought out a new Sherman and 1942 early Marines(Gaudacanal) in the 1/35 kits

I'd like to see something other than a german heavy in the Dragon 1/35 prebuilt this year.

I'd also like to see a Me210 or 410 in 1/32 by Revell, and can't wait to see their Ju88A1.

AMERICAN_GRENADIER · Post by **AMERICAN_GRENADIER** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 5:18 pm

I agree on the 1/35 prebuilt dragon. a T-34 or even a German halftrack

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 12:28 pm

We've finally got an M126 Stryker in 1:32 scale, and that was in the very first week of the new year

this popped up this morning.

olifant · Post by **olifant** » Tue Jan 13, 2009 11:27 pm

You guys hit it right on the head with the 1/32 Stryker. The F-104 will be the next best hope. Wild card a P-38 from BBI?

Or will a new manufacturer start up and fill the void in...another Tiger?

Dauntless · Post by **Dauntless** » Wed Jan 14, 2009 8:51 am

A P-38 would sell like hot cakes me thinks.

Heck any repaints of the BBI Wildcat, Dauntless, and Phantom would too IMO.

Panzer_M · Post by **Panzer_M** » Wed Jan 14, 2009 9:52 am

an F4F martlett would be awesome.

we need more 1/32 RAF.

bird · Post by **bird** » Thu Jan 15, 2009 4:20 am

Over xmas i started buying model kits in both 1:72 and 1:35.
Planning gonna go this way instead of prebuilt 21C or FOV stuff for the immediate future.

AlloySkull · Post by **AlloySkull** » Thu Jan 15, 2009 12:29 pm

I just want that F-104 to get off of the ground... I still want a Dauntless and an F4F... Haha. But a P-38 would make my day.

But for more dream-like material in pre-built, a Bf-110 or a Hs-129B/Wa.

Panzer_M · Post by **Panzer_M** » Fri Jan 16, 2009 9:24 am

my Revell 110C4/B(fighter/bomber varient) is still boxed. but the box dwarfs a 32x plane..I can't think what the box for a 32x/pre-built 110 would look like..but I'd buy it.

Dauntless · Post by **Dauntless** » Fri Jan 16, 2009 10:57 am

The size of the box would probably be the same size as the BBI Phantom or less I'm thinking..very do-able. I would buy them.

I want a He 111 so I can do a hanging Battle of Britain scene with some 21st Mk I-II Spitfires, Messershmitt 109E's and Hurricanes-oh yeah I want those made too pleeeze.
