damn! and I was about to release one of this one too!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to tap into the millions of Zero fans who collect these planes so avidly as I think Sweet has too much of a monopoly on it at the moment;-)
Gee, maybe someone will do an F-18 next. We definately need another F-18 model!
ReplyDeleteJohn H.
F-18? It's a decent F-16 what we really need!
ReplyDeleteNo...Sweet has the pulse of the 144 community well in check. We need more Zeros and fast. Keep them coming! We need drop tanks, pilot figures, anime cats, and more importantly, decals for the variety of the thousands of paint schemes the planes came in. Buy yourself a 20 gallon paint reservoir of IJN green, because that's what 75%-85% of the kits will be painted in.
ReplyDeleteAnd here's hoping that CafeReo/Algernon releases Bravo Charlie and Delta sets of the USN series because we need more F-18s in the worse possible way.
Trumpeter, here's your cue to release an Me262 commemorative set, because that's another plane that hasn't received enough attention.
In all honestly, I'm actually glad they're stuck in a loop. With all the outstanding releases Anigrand and Miniwing are putting out, I would have been broke a long time ago had it not been for the major manufacturers stuck in the woods. Maybe I'll even save enough money for the $500 Shuttle "Adult Toy" from Bandai.
You're right there. The F-16 from DML isnt bad, I can live with it. But I think it wowld be nice to have a newly tooled F-16 available, and while we're at it, maybe a new F-101 and a series of F-4s... .

Guys, guys,
ReplyDeletewhat are you playing at!
its 2010 and its the year of T-4 Blue impluse Jets...
F-Toys, Plats and Sweet havent done these yet this year, so their is still hope for more of these blue wonders!
or maybe another USAF Thunderbirds varient?
?what happened to my post which was the first one? It and one other have gone?
ReplyDeletePeter
The problem with DML's F-16 is that awful intake which is a mere shadow of what it should be. I have one built using the intake of a Minicraft kit. It took a bit of work but the result was worth it.
ReplyDeleteAs for Zeros, what happened to the A6M2-N that Sweet posted pictures of in its website a looong time ago?
Finally, my pocket is also taking a hit with Anigrand's amazing output this year.

PBH they appear to be there now?
ReplyDeletemaybe google was doing something or had a problem over night/day (depening on your time zone)
A6M2-N... so we still have some Zero goodness to come!
ReplyDeletewell spotted Miguel, for a moment i thought we may have come to the end of the road!
Well, there's still the A6M7 and the two-seater variant left... (hint hint!!)
ReplyDeleteMiguel B
Yeah, and the A6M1 too. Probably best if they do the prototype as well because that is a huge untapped market. Oh, and some all new kits of every Zero version that include a 500lb bomb for the Kamikaze planes.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, looks like there I'd scope for another few years of new zero kits before the reissues and new decal schemes start to arrive!?
