| Subject: | But what would they cost? |  |
| Date: | Dec 20, 2007 |
| From: | Matt Roberts | |
Trumpy is doing a new 48th C-47 for well over $100 next year, a 32nd would probably be $200+ and a 35th as an 'oddball' scale vs 'normal' aircraft scales would probably be $400+ because of the smaller then normal market that would care about a 35th vs a 32nd kit (let alone a 48th the 'normal' US aviation scale)
Some helos and maybe a glider or two (amazed that there is no DFS glider yet, the smallest of WW II troop gliders and had German markings to boot!) But I really don't see a major company commiting commercial suicide by doing 35th combat aircraft kits. There is enough controversy on the boards about the financial viability of the 32nd kits that have flooded the market in the last couple of years.
After all when was the last time you heard any company trumpeting (no pun intended) 32nd scale armor to tie in with 32nd aircraft?
