WF2022 video from PLATZ



WF2022 video from PLATZ 

This is the WF2022 video from PLATZ posted in January 2022, but which I have only just discovered.

You can either work your way through the video above, or you the shortcuts bellow to go to the 1/144 items of interest.

Obviously the video from Mr Platz is in Japanese, if you use the translate and subtitles option there will be a translation - but, its a bit patchy.

Oddly, he doesn't mention the Platz WF2022 kit - 1/144 US Navy Carrier-capable Fighter F / A-18C Hornet NAF Atsugi  http://www.platz-hobby.com/products/11363.html

1 /144 F-Toys Wing Kit Collection VS16  F-111 vs SU-24 'Fencer' (F111 update)

More images have been published of the F111-E by the  Hobby Collective shop.

 According to the youtube video below, "HeartBreaker" decals will be limted to the Hobby Collective customers only 

also see this WF2022 video from PLATZ - see section @ 6 minutes 40 Seconds, for a feature on this item (there may be other Platz kits previewed, but the whole video is 2 hours and I'm still skipping through it): It also shows the 'swing wing' in action.

This item is limited to 3 per household.

--This is a guide to Beaver Original [1/144 XF-108 Rapier].
--The XF-108 Rapier was redeveloped in 1957 by the United States Air Force as a long-range interceptor and escort fighter with a top speed of Mach 3, and a mockup was created in 1959.

――However, development was discontinued on September 23 of the same year due to budget problems, insufficient cruising range, and the shift of nuclear attacks to ICBM, which neglected bombers and reduced their demand as escort fighters.

1/144 Convair Kingfish (1959) High Altitude Reconnaissance Aircraft Project - Fantastic Plastic





1/144 Convair Kingfish (1959) High Altitude Reconnaissance Aircraft Project - Fantastic Plastic

Price: $75.00

STATUS: Available February 2022

About the Design

By the mid-1950s, it became clear to the U.S. Air Force that their U-2 spy plane was becoming dangerously vulnerable to Russian anticraft radar and missile attacks. In 1957 it called upon America's top aerospace companies to develop alternatives.

Ultimately, the contest to replace the U-2 came down to two Mach 3 designs: Convair's Kingfish and Lockheed's A-12. The Convair design incorporated a classic delta wing -- the virtual trademark of the company's post-War jets -- with two engines buried in the fuselage. Its edges were angled to offer a low radar cross-section (RCS), a strategy later incorporated into the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter.

In 1959, the Mach 3 recon jet contract was ultimately awarded to Lockheed's A-12, which would eventually become the celebrated SR-71. Work on the Kingfish continued for a few months, but then funds ran out, dooming it to be an eternal "What If?"
