No, I haven't made the purchase but I thought I'd share this new release. Maybe some of you like What-if or Luftwaffe 46 builds.

A lot of detail for a conceptual aircraft. Check out The Modeling News website for more info.

Interesting - a lot of detail there to be sure. I'm not massively into Luft-46 but from a strictly modelling point of view that would be an interesting kit to build.

Thanks for sharing John!

Mini art is doing it in 1/32, Amusing hobbies in 1/48. But no one in 1/72! The one true scale! :sad:

Totally separate subject (sorry John) - but I'm missing 1/72. since I decided to 'go large(er)' last year :headslap: and thusly sold of my entire 1/72 stash, I've barely built anything. What I have built has been so part heavy I've run out of steam with them before I've got started. :sad:

I keep looking at Matchbox kits on ebay. :wub:

Yes, going large scale is cool. But you double the work for seams, painting etc. I have some 1/48 kits (I also wanted to “go large like a pro modeller”) but I am always a bit daunted by the work involved.

I love the large scale aircraft kits, but man even the smallest types take up a lot of display space. I don't mind the kits, because you can really go to town on the detail. But where to put them.... :hmm: :headslap:

For some strange reason, the Mini Art kit is in the tank scale: 1/35.
