Hey Paul, it’s quite smiley from that end isn’t it......

I think it's a 'Traffic Tractor' as it has the cab, rubber tyres & mud guards on all the wheels, they do another version with steel spiked wheels & no cab. I'm sure I have pictures of one of these in a barn, though Lanz Bulldogs are not common in this country.
Miniart German tractor.
Rubber tyres & no cab.Comment

From MiniArt - 'new' model coming
Forgive me, but this doesn't have me fingering my credit card!
I realise that MiniArt have to maximise the use of their expensive Pz IV moulds, but how many people will buy this, in addition to all the other Pz IV variants that MiniArt produce? It's not as if MiniArt models are cheap!

MiniArt suffers from Hasegawa Syndrome: bring out the same kit lots of times, with a few different parts and decals in each. What they should do to get people to buy them, is stick all the parts for the versions that differ in minor ways into a single kit and give buyers stuff to put into their spares box. Throw in a generic decal sheet with numbers, division emblems etc. (it’s not as if late-war German AFVs had complex markings) and they can have one kit of all Ausf. G/H/Js.Comment

People will still buy it because it is something slightly different from the last. Collectors/hoarders will do it because it means they have the full catalogue of kits. I would buy all the Hasegawa Fw190 kits if i could. The only difference in them (in same versions) is the change of decals and vary rarely an added weapon. Which is stupid because i can get the same and more options from AM makersComment

I saw that IBG had a few types of Bedford in the line-up. As 1/48 is so popular for the aircraft they would support, I cant understand why they do not do them in that scale as well/instead.
I know there is a heap of resin GS vehicles out there but for the price of one of them you could probably buy five plastic kits!Comment

Spotted these over on The Modelling news website;
Having Built their Kashtan, this should be an excellent build.
Takom seem to be adding more and more small tanks to their 1/16th Range, hopefully the figure will be a resin one, as in their 1/16th Tankette. Looks to be a tight fit for the crew, the 'Smart' car of the Tank worldComment

Takom seem to have fallen off my radar for some reason!

Not separates, but in blocks of 8 6 water, 6 gas

Bad practice, slinging an engine like that, especially a biggie ( I did a course on lifting heavy weights when I was in the MN ), but I bet that happened generally.
