I'd honestly like one, if nothing more to hang next to my F4... BUT... I know cost is going to be up there. It looks very, very nice so far though.

Just came across this information today by accident. Not sure if this is true or not but it seems HobbyBoss is planing on constructing a 1:18 static model of the SBD Dauntless. I wonder if they are who Merit is currently working with on this particular project. The picture below is supposedly from a HobbyBoss 2012-2013 catalog on future releases.

here's the comments, nothing of importance(although I see somebody stole my name...that bastard!) some of this may not make any sense what so ever. There was no important info on these on that page of the site



Aviament at 24/12/2011 - 12:39 Subject: New HobbyBoss 2012-2013 (# 4027) - discussion of Dima, thanks for the news! First upset - not found the Su-27 and A-6 in the 48th, then found it - quiet :)

Guest at 12/24/2011 - 12:53 Subject: New HobbyBoss 2012-2013 EIGHTEENTH scale ??????? (Dauntless) my mother was a woman .... / Shocked /

Guest at 12/24/2011 - 12:57 Subject: New HobbyBoss 2012-2013 What else can impress or please the HB model in Thunderbolt at 72 m after which it did Tamiya? Is it possible to better and more accurate? Even hard to build any assumptions ... Anyway, the model of Tamii me enough ...

Aviament Incidentally, Wan, pay attention, the Trump declared A3D Skywarrior 1 / 48;) I hope, intelligent people from Collect Air-rid :)))))))

Chinese Hummer and Super Kotyara 48. Mmmm ...

And another one An-2 in 48th! : Grin: It was empty, then abruptly become heavily. : Lol:

in pancake, and I follow the first link only half of the pages there. :???:

OlegTs at 12/24/2011 - 16:38
I wonder if the Su-27 48m - it's their design, or perepak academy? : Roll:

Nazar at 12/24/2011 - 17:15
I wonder if the Su-27 48m - it's their design, or perepak academy? : Roll: a hundred times already discussed this, it is not perepak Academy, meaning? They repackage it and "altered" at the dawn of his career. It will be a model in apskeyl 72m, to my knowledge.
mammock at 24/12/2011 - 19:36 Subject: New HobbyBoss 2012-2013 Hooray! HB finally drew the attention of Panhard'y. So you look up and AMX-10 will reach;)

JohnVood at 24/12/2011 - 21:02
A Corsair AU-1 at 1 / 48 to anyone other than me is not interesting? And then, like, right now there is nothing to buy, only if Hasegawa top 5 nag ...

alekom at 12/24/2011 - 21:31
When they, or Trump will make my favorite F-8F Birket in 1 / 72 .... And that created a 1 / 48 ... and in 1 / 32 .. And then the Frog or ART Model saw laziness.

Wild Weasel at 12.24.2011 - 10:49 p.m.
A-6E, the Su-27 in the 48th - it is a good thing ... But where is the F-111F??? They are going to release it at all? : Evil:

Lish at 24/12/2011 - 23:42
"The Widow" at the 32nd ... Oh-oh-o-ry interesting!
SDA at 24.12.2011 - 23:47

Wild Weasel They will not release F-111f. What for? All that is necessary for FCF is a set of D / E.

Wild Weasel at 25/12/2011 - 01:49

holy crap, the detail looks great! the speed that they are getting this done may catch up to the A-10!

(This sarcasm means this plane that came out of nowhere is getting done faster than the plane that has been "in the works" for years. didn't want to sound like this wasn't getting done)

If you right click on them and select view image they will show up much larger on screen. Viewing the images after saving them to your desktop will also work as well.

Btw, I just noticed that the paint scheme in those recent photos are of the Battle of Midway. The pilot had me so destracted there for a moment that I almost missed that.
