Rumors abound with news from a reliable source that Allgo is working on some 1/32 aircraft releases. my source says FW-190's & P-51's a few old pieces and a couple new ones. he said 3 planes in total

Re: Ihobby news
figured the Panzer was going to be a DX10 since all the DX10s shown are all 1940 Blitzkrieg.
I wonder how much the secondary retailers are going to gouge us on the Panzer after the show.
http://www.dxpo.com/dx/10/exclusives/71450.asp
yep the Panzer is up on the site, 499
I need to find someone going to DX10 that I could trust to get me one.

Re: Ihobby news
I think Allgo should just pack in the towel. Too late collectors moved on to other scales or brands. One reason 21st 32x sold so well was it was cheap to have a done model...I doubt they can keep the WM pricepoint with online orders..so they will need to something special to rekindle the interest.

Re: Ihobby news
Thanks for the info. Sure would be nice if CW would come out with something new, versus a 24th repaint of the F-14, even if it's a new scheme...Century wings:

Re: Ihobby news
As much as a detractor of All-go I may seem, I sure wish that they would pop that King Tiger out.
I believe I might find a way of eatting crow and liking it as I opened a box containing such a monster.
If the Skyworks deal helps them produce this beast, then I am all for their merge and wish them luck on selling the A-10.

Thanks very much for the info. I'm glad the JSI F-14 "Black Knights" is still in the works.
Also, I'm pleasantly surprised about FOV's 1/16 Panther---I would have expected a potential big-seller Panther instead of the Panzer announced earlier.
Any news about JSI pilots for the F-14?

Re: Ihobby news
Well, I must agree that 1/16 is a no brainer, there are several RCs in that scale. These should be affordable and have decent accessories available now.
Re: Ihobby news
Glad CW is releasing a new squadron
Kinda jaded with them this last half of 2010,
Puking Dogs might just be the cure or a massive hangover

The sign of a great model is that one’s eye is not drawn to any one feature, yet one can study it for hours and continually find something new.

Wonder if HM fixed the corrugated wings (or lack thereof) on the Devastator? These are all 1/72 right?AMERICAN_GRENADIER wrote:many guys asked quetions and ill try t0 answer them here.

I think that Allgo should have done this in the first place with 1/32. If they still have the excellent newer FW-190 and the P-51D or B/C molds there's still a few repaints to turn out. Heck it would have been better to do a 1/32 "Passion Wagon" than the 1:18 one as a way to break back into the market. Not such a huge investment for them or potential buyers.
I'm hoping that the third plane would be a rumored Tempest, or a well known easy sell like a P-38 or P-40E/N, but any of the 32X planes repainted would be cool (Spitfire!!?...or Hartmann, Gunther Rall 109's! paleeze!)
I think it's a no brainer and good decision for Allgo if indeed there's any truth to the rumor. I hope so.
Thanks for the info AG!

Re: Ihobby news
The 32x line still sold well in online stores even after the end of Walmart and they sold quickly for $22-25 each, well above WM's pricepoint. I think the market is there and judging from Ebay sales, I would say the demand is definitely there. I always said that 21st could have sold these around the $25 range and it would have been worth it, especially the later releases. If Allgo can come back in at that pricepoint, I think they will sell well.Panzer_M wrote:I think Allgo should just pack in the towel. Too late collectors moved on to other scales or brands.

If Allgo does more repaints, I welcome more Spitfire repaints and 190A's which were sorely under done in the first round.

Agree with Harry, and Dauntless. All Go would have a market for 1/32 Spitfires, FW 190's and Corsairs, as these were under represented by 21 C. I would be interested in all three of these aircraft, and the molds are already done. A good starting point for All Go.
The 1/16 FoV Panther is a no brainer, but probably too much money for me, as I don't really do much armour, other than FoV and Dragon 1/32, 1/35.
Good to see another F-14 squadron being done by CW, as they haven't done another squadron in years.Other than the Iranian one. And Pukin Dogs is a good choice. Still waiting for them to do another aircraft though. Hopefully a Vigilante.
Thanks again AG.

Re: Ihobby news
would be nice to see 1/72 DX issues come back this year..I still think the Bodo StuG is one of the best Dragon made in their ENTIRE line of 1/72 armour..and since they put out a 1/35 Pz IIB kit, and now planned 1/6 Pz II, a 1/72 scale would fit right in for the expo(since they still have unannounced exclusives still). Def would be something to look forward to for the end of December IIRC is when the Expo is going to happen.

Re: Ihobby news
Same here. I guess if you just had an extra $500 to spend, the FOV would be really neat with it's removeable engine and detailed interior, but with a little time and effort the Heng Long 1/16 RC Panther can be made in to a great looking first rate 1/16 Panther model, as I believe some of our members here have done, and you'll save about 300 clams in the process.The 1/16 FoV Panther is a no brainer, but probably too much money for me

I hope the Panther isn't $500 msrp....but I suspect even if it is $500, it will probably sell out (unlike the Sherman). Collectors familiar with the FOV Peiper King Tiger will buy a Panther knowing it may well increase in value.
I would consider the 1/16 Panther---as long as it's not a "yellow" paint scheme.
