New 1/72 kits from KP
« on: March 12, 2022, 12:08:40 PM »
I saw on the Hannants site that  Kovozavody Prostejov  is releasing a new tool DH9A in 3 versions and a retool of the Breguet 14A/B with 3 versions.  No date or price has been set at this time.  Good news for 1/72 builders.

Nice! KP are keeping their promises.
A DH.9a 'At war', three post war variants - two DH.9a's and a Russian Polikarpov R-1, and what seems to be a reissue of the AZ Model Breguet 14's - A French Br.14A.2, French Br.14B.2 and probably post war Br.14A.2 'International'.

If memory serves, wasn't "Leon" the marking option on the old Pegasus release years ago?  It's always been an attractive markings choice.

So, what y'all are saying is that KP is going to issue these out of the old AZ molds?

WD - "Leon" was the marking of the old Pegasus release. I was hoping it would be reissued with the new KP offering, and here it is.
The AZ Breguets were good kits well worth reissuing. The Br.14A.2 and B.2 "In French Service" had some colourful and interesting insignia, I'm hoping for some of them to reppear with the new kits too.

I've happily got those in my stash, just trying to build up the skills worthy of them in the meantime.

An old AZ Br.14A2 kit was sold on Ebay yesterday for $50 + shipping. There's another one still on and the price is rising.
I was tempted to bid till I saw this post... I'll wait for the KP releases.

Interestingly I just saw this on Scalemates - Ukraine company Clear Prop intends to release an injection moulded kit of an early Airco DH.9a in 2022, and a Russian R-1 + MR-1 floatplane versions. In view of the current situation this is probably uncertain.

No doubt. However, from what I understand from friends that have bought Clear Prop kits in the past, it'll be worth the wait.

I was just about to mention this - these kits have been generating a lot of buzz on Britmodeller so it'll be interesting to see what they make of the KP news.
