Panda Models of China is really doing it! …hmmmmm…welll there is this BARN down the street …maybe I can park it there?
Check out all the other goodies thier planning as well.
Yea, including a 1/32 P-51 D. Too cool.

wow…what a selection!
Hmmmm…I’m building a new garage. I can probably just taxi it on in. 
I’ll be lookin’ for the 1/72 Blinder, Backfire & definately that Blackjack!!!
It’s about time the evil empire gets represented in model aircraft form…
Not to mention the bazillion Huey variations coming out for you eggbeater types!!! - Ed
I just posted this over on the Helicopter subject. But if you go to their web site the only future release Panda shows is the Arleigh Burke. They are long on “future releases” according to this site. It may be a long wait for these releases.

That is bloody cool!!!
Yeah, the longer the list of “future releases” the longer we’ll have to wait, logically. Of course this depends upon the timeframe of development for the kits. Perhaps they’ve already been in the works for some time and Panda are now just announcing them. Always take every possibility under consideration…
Also, Panda and Trumpeter have been tied to each other. And it would seem that if they are not the same company altogether then they may, at the least, be in cahoots. Trumpeter has a decent history of actually releasing the kits promised so, given the apparent ties to Panda, hopefully the latter will follow suit.
Fade to Black…
Amazing, and dare I say even scary?
How big is too big? From an economist point of view, very few modelers could afford such a large kit, let alone decide to build it. I would imagine this being a low volume seller, further increasing the price.
To each his own however. I am glad someone has the Gahones to manufacture such a kit. I’m also glad to see some of their other 1/32 offerings. Maybe this will kick off a trend amoung the industry of greater offerings in 1/32.
you can never have too big… now where shall i store that 1/16 b 36?
Some of you older modelers might remember when the first 1/48 scale B-17 was released. We thought that would be the biggest model of the '17 to ever be released. Now, a 1/32 B-17? Do I hear it for a 1/24 scale? [:)] [:)] [:)] [:)]
That would be the electric RC 6 Ch 1/24 scale B-17 that the owner of an local Hobby Town. 7 minutes of flight.
Sounds interesting.
- I would have been very happy with updated and more accurate B-17 in 1/48 scale. OH WELL!
Now on the other hand Revell of Germany’s 1/72 scale U-boat is JUST RIGHT! That can go on a wall scaunt type thingy.[:p]
Ya, I would love a B-17F/G optioned model in 1:48 with the quality that companies like Hasegawa produce.
unnamedplayer,
Funny that you mention a 1/16 B-36. Years back, when MPM did their 1/16 (or was it 1/18?) Me 262, I wrote an article for our club newsletter (as an April Fool’s Day joke) about a “new” company called LAERTON from Ecalpon, MI that was releasing 1/16 aircraft kits. One of the releases was a B-36! [:p]
I’ll have to dig that out and maybe post it either here or on my website. I fooled only a couple of folks, but it was an absolutely hilarious story. Come to think of it, I wrote it for my own newsletter that I and a pal were publishing at the time, but then gave it to the club editor for an April issue. Hmmm…it’s almost April again… [:p][;)]
By the way, take the name of the company and the name of the town and spell them backwards!
Fade to Black…
When’s the 1/24 F-102 being released?
how much is the 1/16 b 36? will i have to buy guillows balsa model ewps
1/32 scale Flying Fortress…droooolll…
At least, when my wife filed for divorce, she could have a really cool model airplane to point to in court and say, ‘see what I mean your honor? He wont’ do the dishes…but he can do THAT!’ JK
Unnamedplayer,
Hehe, the B-36 never had a retail price that was “released” to the public, but it was made known that the kit was going to be released in installments! (Forward fuselage, mid, rear, outer left wing, inner…) [:p][;)]
Fade to Black…
Holy Aluminum Overcast, Batman! 1/32 B-17 is gonna be gihugeic. Can’t wait, I’ll take one as soon as they are out. Who needs a car anyways. Any takers on the detail sets?
