Just saw this over on ARC from Haneto/Yufei and am stunned! Zukei-Mura are starting a Super Wings series of 1/32nd scale kits starting with the J7-W1 Shinden! Looks like there will be detailed engine and gun bays, price seems to be 8,100 Yen which works out to £52.38p so it's extremely tempting. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=189747

These guys have added some accessories for their Shinden kit which should be available Jan 15th, same day as kit release. Ne20 jet engine and exhaust/rear fuselage piece to do a J7-W2, new nose cowling with no guns to build Shinden on it's maiden flight, nose ballast weights shaped as the ammo boxes for the cannon, strengthened landing gear & resin weighted wheels. http://www.zoukeimura.co.jp/en/products/index.html#ap

This is purely speculation on my part but the guy that owns the company said in his blog a few months ago that he almost bought a real Vought Cutlass that is under restoration in the States because he loves the look of it, wonder if one of the kits to come is a Cutlass? Seem to remember him saying kit nos. 3,4 & 5 are decided on but not sure if he is including the 1/32nd Kettenkrad in that or if it is counted as an accessory to the Ta152. It's often very hard to decipher Computer Translated Japanese!

This looks unbelievable. The extras you get for pre-ordering are just mind-blowing.

EDIT: Oh, and the President of the company is One Of Us. Awesome.

Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...
