Things have become a bit quiet.

Frequency of new kit announcements has dropped over the last year or so.

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Gives people an opportunity to purchase tooling (Airbrushes, Punch & Die Sets, Photo Etch Benders, etc).

No not a bad thing, unless the new releases were not as profitable as expected. :-k

Saw a couple of reviews on the new Tam BF 109. They reckon the best 1/48 they have ever released.

Ja another 109 #-o . Good reviews and clever setting out of engine cowls to allow various open/close configurations.
