Wingss of War - Updated!

Wings of War - WWI - Series 2 - (Planning Date: September 2007)


Quote:

//Allied DH.4 and German Rolands will be released in september, 3 color schemes each with different weapon combinations.

Larger planes and balloons will take a lot of time.

Other fighters and two-seaters will come first. But I'd like to do them, sooner or later... //

Petiton Sweet for 1/144 Spitfire!!

Petiton Sweet for 1/144 Spitfire!!
It is time to ask ~SWEET to produce the model that is highly desired!
Please write or e-mail and make your views known!?

Hello,

I'd like to congratulate you on choosing to do a Griffon engined Spitfire as your next release. The preview photo I saw on one of the Shizuoka show reports looked excellent.

It is very good news as I had heard a crazy story that you were going to release
an FW-190D next!!!

I think it's amazing that no one has done the 1/144 Spitfire properly before, and I can't wait to see your Spitfire kit released, good work.

私はあなたの次の解放としてGriffonのエンジンSpitfireをすることを選択の祝うことを望む。 私が静岡ショーのレポートの1つの鋸優秀に見た下検分の写真。 それは私があなたが解放しようとしていた狂気の物語を聞いたように非常によいニュースである 次のFW-190D!!! 解放されるあなたのSpitfireのキットよい仕事を見るために私は誰も1/144のSpitfireをの前にきちんとしなかった、待つことができないことそれがすばらしいことを考え。

Regards


Mr NNNNNNNNNNN

1/144 SIG33B WTM01 conversion kit!










1/144 SIG33B WTM01 conversion kit! - By TND Decal Service!

I have just found this interesting project on the TND site!
.
basically it has the files to enable you to model at WTM-01 Stug into a Sig33b.
I know that Can.do produced a SIG in their recent series, but I know you guys!
There will be some of you who wish to try and make you own anyway...

.
I think originally the kit was designed to be printed onto plastic or resin sheets via ALPS MD series printer, but i think that this can be worked aroudn with some imagination.
.
I wont go into all teh possible schemes to transfer this to plastic card, or even i'd bet that it could be done with thick card (or even photo paper) and sprayed over?
.
enjoy!

F-TOYS JSDF - "TANKS AND MOTORS"??



SORRY - THESE NOW APPEAR TO BE 1:87 :o(
.
.....just been checking through some new photo;s from IKES pages. and noticed in the back of the FTOYS stall some "Tanks & Motors" range, it is not clear what scale these are?.
.
.
when compared to the 1/72 aircraft next to them in the following photo, it seem even more likely?
.

The aircraft in front of them are from the new 1/530 range, not to beconfused with the series later this year that Takara are releaseing based upon a combination of "model power - airliner series" an also sold by "del prado" - this is an interesting departure, but i supopse no different to some of the the other suppliers collaboratiosn with Hasegawaw or Platz..
.
anyway back to the point, are we about to see FTOYS launching their first 1/144 Tank series - even if it is JSDF?
.
Also notice in the top left of the main picture, the WWI items on the F-TOYS booth!

Project 144 Exhibition - #5

also from IKE's website!!

1/144 - Year of the WWI ???

....Strange nothing for ages, then now two "World War One Series"!!
.
First, Fantasy Flighy/Nexus "Wings of War" Series 1.
.
now, there appears to be another series on the horizon!!
.
It will be interesting to see if they are the same production repainted and repacked or completely new?
.
Release date: unknown
Manufactuer: unknown - but it could be FTOYS as this picture occurs in the middle of pictures from FTOYS/PLATZ!! - if this is true they shoudl be very nice!!!
