TomcatVF84 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I just got my new Fine Scale Modeler. I open it up and there is a new announcement about a Hasegawa 1/48 E-2 (2000). While I love all things Navy - and I was very happy (I'll probably buy two, and BTW anyone want to buy a Collect-Aire Kit?), I can't help but wonder what would sell more. An E-2 or a new 1/48 B-17? In the same issue is a review of the Trumpeter C-47 in 1/48. Hello? B-24 anyone? I don't get it. I need some change I can believe in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulBradley Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 As has/is/will be discussed ad nauseum on other fora, this was a typo in the ad - its 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M. Knights Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 As has/is/will be discussed ad nauseum on other fora, this was a typo in the ad - its 1/72. Also known as God's scale, or the one true scale. (Ducking for cover!) :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M. Knights Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 OH S**T.... And I actually started to think I'd finally found a quarter scale Hawkeye I could AFFORD... So much for fantasies... Sorry Bob. If anyone deserves one, you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montgomery Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 The fact that it is 1/72 makes your original question even more significant! 1/48 th scale? I'd have been there! 1/72nd scale? yawn.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Lindsey Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Oh Dick, I am so disappointed! What did you expect from a guy that has to duck through doorways?!?!?!?!? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Special Hobby (or some other short run Eastern Eur. co.) has had a 1/48 Hawkeye on their "to-do" list for almost 3yrs now. No one has seen a test shot so it might just be them stirring the pot to see what kind of a reaction they get to help them make up their minds. I have the Collectaire kit and it looks great! Still, if someone does a plastic 1/48 E-2 kit, then I can do one with the wings folded and one without, and hopeully the newer kit will have those new 6 bladed scimitar props! Chers!

TheDude Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Sorry Bob. If anyone deserves one, you do. What, a fantasy or a 1/48 scale E-2? J/K! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montgomery Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 David, would it restore your confidence in me if I reveal that there is a 1/72nd model in progress, just two feet from my computer? Bf-109G-6 no less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
