On the Magic Factory Facebook page - a new release to complement their recent F4U Corsair

I see where the photos of the resin P & W ( on another thread ) have come from!

Whilst it can be (obviously to you) annoying.

It doesn’t annoy me, it’s more one of those things that makes me wonder why. Yes, they do it to sell more kits — but given the very large number of Tiger kits there already are, the other thing I wonder about is who they think their market is for these kits. Because they must see a market for them, else they wouldn’t bother producing them. But at some point, any market will be saturated and entering it will los you money. Clearly, Takom doesn’t think that point has been reached, though.

Thanks John :thumb2:

Nice to see a new 1/72 kit from Airfix.

I don’t usually build German subjects but this might really tempt me

it is their Telford reveal, but I think it’s a bit disappointing

I see your point. I’ve seen lots of wish lists with this on it though.

Someone must have been shipping them out early as there's already a full build video!

If I'd not just placed an order the other day I'd be adding one to my basket. Handsome looking plane and I've heard nothing but good things about the new airfix kits.

I'll have one next time if you have any left by then :smiling3:

That’s Me 410 is one I might just get. I built the Matchbox 210 looooong ago, always thought it looked really good with those remote-controlled machine guns, and have been thinking on and off of building another. The 410 essentially being a 210 “version 1.1” makes this a good candidate …

On the Takom Facebook page.......................................

Following their announcement of the three Tigers, you can now get them all in one 'big box'

I reckon you'd have to be a real rich, Tiger nut to go for this. Personally, I couldn't make three Tiger models, essentially the same model with a few different sprues..............

Oh, but as an added incentive, they give you another Otto Carius in 1:16.

I make Fw190s with different paint schemes. It's real easy

This is what I meant by being targeted to specific collectors. It will probably stay in the big box for show.. :rolling:
