From last year, I'm still l waiting on the Dornier Do-217K/M. The Alenia C-27 is a very nice kit and, I'll be up for that as well. I wonder if the 1/48 SM. 79 is a reboxed Trumpeter kit?
They explicitly state 100% new moulds in regards to the SM.79.

Gary's rundown of the new Itaerli stuff:


They've done me one favour (probably): the F-111 they're reissuing comes with Aussie markings. I've been trying for ages to get a set, but the only option seems to be the £80 Hasegawa F-111C. Assuming the Italeri boxing is cheaper than that, I'll be getting one.

Another wishlisting the Master here. If it's anything like their AMX it'll be a really nice model.

Wonder how big the 1/72 KC-135 will be!  :-\

But does it come with the longer wings too?

The really old Revell kit did, but that had optional bits for the USN 'B' version as well.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I presume so if they're offering the markings. There's literally just a picture in that video: it's not even up on the website yet.

The 1/48 SM. 79 could interest me. Wait to see/read reviews first though.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

The Wooksta!

The only parts in the Ju 88A-17 worth having are the torpedoes and the fairing on the nose.  Zvezda's 88 A-17 is a far better kit - it's not covered with ship builders rivets and nor are the u/c nacelles undersized.

I'll admit to looking forward to the M346 kit, which I'll likely purchase multiples of.  Lots of whif possibilities, icluding Western variations on some of the Yak-130 proposals and derivatives, like the JL-10 from the PRC.
