Hobby Master Listened to Me!!!!!
Sooooo...I'm 100% an armour guy, but I've been wanting HM to do a 1/144 Ju-52 in the scheme of Hitler's personal plane. i e-mailed the CEO, and they agreed. I e-mailed them a few pictures and advised them that the paint scheme is simliar to the olympiad version. They said that they considered a Hitler transport, but they didn't have enough info. However, they said that they took my idea and may release it early next year.

Re: Hobby Master Listened to Me!!!!!
HM have great customer support and service, and do listen to input.
I am assuming you spoke to William Liu?
Not to steal your thunder, Heer, but this has been passed on to HM before. However, somebody has to be the "tipping point", where they decide to actually proceed due to demand. And you just might have been this, so thanks.

Re: Hobby Master Listened to Me!!!!!
Well, if HM really decide to make it, the Ju-52 will be the first and only aircraft in my collection . I find it wierd that they haven't even released a fallshirmjager version, such as the Ju-52 used in Norway and Crete . They keep on releasing some wierd airline that I have never heard of, like Iberia airlines?????

Re: Hobby Master Listened to Me!!!!!
Hey, HM listened to me as well! I've been telling them they need to do a JS-2 in 1/72, and finally announced one!
About time !

Re: Hobby Master Listened to Me!!!!!
I saw the JS-2 as well. I might get that, but that depends on the price. I might stick with german armour however.

Re: Hobby Master Listened to Me!!!!!
Glad to hear about Hobby Master's responsiveness to customer's ideas - it can bode well for potential future products and is a good sign that they listen to their fan base...
I've dealt with their customer service department on several occasions and have nothing but positive comments. If you loose or break even the most random part on a model, they will likely replace it, free of charge.
The Hobby Master company was at least started by professional modelers, so it makes sense that they would have roots among modelers/collectors and be willing to listen to people like us.

Re: Hobby Master Listened to Me!!!!!
It IS going to be released, Heer.
Unfortunately in 1/144 scale. Should be done in 1/72, but Corgi have already done the Ju52 in 1/72.
Final product pics are up on hobbymastercollector website.
Think it is scheduled for March or so.
