Model Forum / General / Models / January 2006Italeri 1/72 B-52 in April?
Any more info? http://catalog.lokshop.de/FAL/2006.Italieri/image_4.html KL Since it's a D model, I bet it's Monogram's. > Since it's a D model, I bet it's Monogram's. Judging by the engines and paint job, the aircraft in the photo is an F model. But since the Mk3 Wessex on the linked page is labelled as a Mk2, who knows? Jon. I see the engines now. Maybe they updated the Monogram. Looks like a bunch of their 1.48 stuff could be Monogram stuff tho. >I see the engines now. Maybe they updated the Monogram.

Note that they don't claim a model in the description. Thinking about it, didn't Italeri buy the AMT molds (see also the 1/48 A-20)? I'd say it'd more likely be one of those. KL I was wondering about that pic myself. "B-52" is just too generic. Especially if it's the God-awful AMT kit, they really blew with the tall-tailed BUFF pic. > >I see the engines now.

Bill Shuey Reckon the Wessex is the old Matchbox? frank offered me a plate of cheese and whispered: > Reckon the Wessex is the old Matchbox? I was just thinking that myself!  SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese. It does not wear me. > frank offered me a plate of cheese and whispered: > > Reckon the Wessex is the old Matchbox? > I was just thinking that myself! If the contents of the box live up to the picture rather than the caption, I'd say it was the Revell HAS.3 tooling of the Italeri / Revell H-34 kit that was released a few years back. Very welcome too, as the Revell kit is difficult to find these days. Plus there's already an aftermarket detail set for it http://www.cobracompany.com/72004.htm Jon. > > frank offered me a plate of cheese and whispered: > > > Reckon the Wessex is the old Matchbox?

I have 2 of those kits st on my shelf, along with Italeri's RAF version, and got the cobra co bits, although from the top of my head i had a mixed media set for commando helo, not sure what i have a RN version Always wanted to build a RN version, but only having 2 i wouldnt. but not hopfully its back out and that kit not teh Mbox i may get one done this year!! What about the 1/48 Chinook on image 5? > Any more info? > > http://catalog.lokshop.de/FAL/2006.Italieri/image_4.html > > KL Wouldn't it be funny if it was the old Aurora kit which Monogram probably got in the '70s & it was updated like Monogram did with a lot of Aurora kits? How 'bout that 1/72 A-26C?? :) They have already released the B-26K Counter Invader in Europe, still hasn't got over here yet :( > How 'bout that 1/72 A-26C?? :) Yeah, I finally gave up waiting & ordered one from Hannant's the other day, as long as I was ordering Trumpeter's Blackjack. >Any more info? > >http://catalog.lokshop.de/FAL/2006.Italieri/image_4.html > >KL Willing to bet it's the AMT kit and they have just used the first photo of a B-52 they couild find Remove nospam to reply!! |
