johan I have forwarded your comments to MB and will update this thread with their answer if they do not do so themselves.

Thanks Darren But as said allready contacted Masterbox myself and posted their answer here. Regards Johan

I notice Masterbox have now removed all reference to the C-47 and Ju-52, does that then mean those are now dead ?

I sure as heck hope not not, I'd really like to see both of those come to fruition. In regards to this project, I hope that they truly are planning both the Mk I and II. This is all good stuff, and they do have a reputation for making good kits so it would make sense that the CAD images are a bit of a mixup resulting from researching both the I and II.

Maybe they should hedge their bets and release one to test the waters ... how many gliders of this size will modellers buy. On the other hand, it does have the advantage of appealing to both armor and aircraft builders, not to mention diorama builders. Hopefully they follow up with a set of fully laden troopers. I picture a multi pose set, that different poses are possible so a few sets can be purchased to show it being loaded up.

There is a new release on this subject here .

This is good news indeed. Some companies respond well to comments, while others continue to say "these are just test shots" only to do nothing to correct the kit. These are fine times we're living in, where a company can show in progress images and instantly elicit input that will make the kit the best it can possibly be.

On the other hand if they just got as far as CAD renderings, it's easy to correct on the computer. With actual =physical= test shots, you would have to change/modify the molds, a much more expensive proposition. Cheers, Christophe

Well done Yohan, you've changed the modelling world. Thankyou
