These are things Hobby Master has revealed:
(1) Some diorama sets are in the planning phase but price and delivery date not determined
(2) The 1/72 WWII and Modern US Pilots that Hobby Master is going to sell in packages of 5 will
fit in their A-4, A-10, F-104, Mirage 2000 and the WWII fit the front seat of the SBD and the
TBM. They may also fit other manufacturers models but this is not known for sure.
(3) For the next release of 1/72 figures, Hobby Master is planning WWII combo packs: 2
German (Ju-87, later Bf-110), 2 UK and 1 gunner for SBD. Due date for shipping is the end of
May
(4) Hobby Master revealed they have the tooling for the F-100C so this will make the production
of even more great aircraft schemes possible. They also said that the Really George scheme
should be coming after the first few releases.
(5) There will be some delay of the F-100 since Hobby Master has decided to add extra
armament.
Depending on the version, it will include : Mk82, Mk117, 335 gallon fuel tank, BLU-27 napalm
bombs, AIM 9E sidewinders and the baggage pod.
(6) The 1/48 F3F will come with stands. They also mentioned that there will be an F3F-2.
(7) The stand for the 1/32 SBD is being designed and produced and will be sold separately
from the model that is already on the market The delivery date should be around July, perhaps
before but the price hasn't been determined.
(8) As usual, after listening to their customers Hobby Master are designing a common stand that
allows you to display your jet aircraft models even with any center-line tanks in place. But it will
take a few months for this and I'm just guessing that they will do the same thing so you can
display your WWII aircraft on the stand without having to remove any center-line tanks or
armament.
