1/144 Big Bird Vol.5 - Algernon
Algernon disclosed the main items in the next installment of the Big Bird Series.
The line-up is quite interesting as it has items previously available as metal kits from Altaya and Atlas, resin kits and the H6K5 Type 97 Mavis 97 a kit from Trumpeter?
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 "Sparviero" apprears to have people excited as Italian aircraft are not covered too often in 1/14 Gashopon. In fact I can think of only the Macchi C.202 in the F-Toys WWII "War Birds" Collection ,the Macchi 33 & 72 in the F-Toys Seaplanes Collection and an Italian Spad in The F-Toys Bi-plane collection?
The B&V 138C was obviosuly produced by FE-Resin & Miniwing

A good boxset..maybe 8,5 in 10...not 10 due Mavis(the monochrome/Trumpeter is a excelent kit),well we known in a boxset must have a japanese item ,so ...
But the Sm-79 is a old wish...(with nice paintings...we need nice decals too...
The Bv-134 was released in Resin...well I think is the most interessanting design of german hydroplanes... very good too...
I could prefer a Sunderland in place of Mavis...well we still could dream..since a boxset have a special item !!!
A Sunderland would be awesome. One of the Dornier 18 or 24's would do nicely too.
Re: 1/144 Italian Aircraft.
Sweet makes a MC.200. Fairy Kikaku does a Fiat CR.42 and a Breda 65. Peters Planes does a IMAM Ro43/44 and a Savoia S21. Creations Chaubet does a Fiat G50bis. KamiDeKorokoro does a Fiat G.50, a Piaggio P.C.7and a Reggiane Re.2005. Revirisco does a Fiat CR.32 and a Fiat CR.42. Airalex does a Fiat G.91. These are the one's I'm aware of and there are probably more. Not a great selection but better that it was not too long ago.
I have, all by Kamidekorokoro, a SM 33 flying boat, a Campini Caproni N-1 (jet), a Campini Stipa (experimental)...
I can envision an Anigrand kit of a Piaggio P108 (or any of the larger Iti bombers) as the main kit, and any combo of Breda 88,Breda 44, Ro57, Sagittario, a CA 313, etc., as bonus kits.
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
