1/144 Martin XB-51 - Foxone Design Studio

3D Printed Kit (or, Resin)?

The Martin XB-51 was an American trijet ground-attack aircraft. It was designed in 1945 and made its maiden flight in 1949. It was originally designed as a bomber for the United States Army Air Forces under specification V-8237-1 and was designated XA-45. The "A" ground-attack classification was eliminated the next year, and the XB-51 designation was assigned instead.

The requirement was for low-level bombing and close support. The XB-51 lost out in evaluation to the English Electric Canberra which - built by Martin - entered service as the Martin B-57 Canberra.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_XB-51 (which was an excellent aircraft )

A first for Foxone, this kit is branded under the Beaver Corporation banner, which is curious as traditionally Beaver Corporation as an importer and distributor of foreign kits into Japan. That said, they do seem to have promoted/distributed previous Foxone releases domestically in Japan - it would seem the relationship is growing?

Though the XB-51 was a big bird, the kit is not cheap!

Available: Late July
Price: 55 USD

1/144 Westland Whirlwind & Martin Maryland


1/144 Westland Whirlwind &  Martin Maryland - Kampflieger
While Kampflieger is known for his prodigious range of 1/144 WWI aircraft, and a few Luft 46 aircraft, he has taken to producing a number of more unusual WWII models (They look like scaled up versions of his 1/200 gaming pieces, in which case a rescaled Bristol F.11/37 could be fun!)

Westland Whirlwind ( A wheels down  props version would be nice) an interesting fighter sidelined by its more sucessful singe engined counterparts. (available here )

Martin Maryland (interesting and unique in 1/144), an curious service history designed for the US, sold to the French and used by the British and SAF in North Africa and Middle East.(available here)

I recommend anyone with an interest in new 1/144 items being produced via the Shapeways tool to visit: Sort by New - 1/144 List

1/144 Kami de Korokoro - WF2010


Kami de Korokoro at Wonderfest.

There are 3 items on interest on this photo!
1) Caproni CC2 - Italian Jet Fighter for WWII (real name Caproni N.1 (?)) wiki google
2) Martin B-10 wiki google
3) Spitfire mk XVI (?)

interesting to see the relative size of the N.1(CC.2) and the A-10,
The N.1(CC.2) is no little volksjeager its a big beast!!


KdK blog is a good source of seeing what items will be coming up for production soon.

It is by this method we have been able to observe some of the lasy years British and Japanese themed kits come to light!

It is then upto you you to look out (obviously I will help!) and then fight out on prices to achieve the kits you want!?
