On the Zvezda Facebook page - photos of their 1/35 M4A3 (76) - 'on sale soon'

Heh … I would have expected Zvezda to do an M4A2 (76) instead of an M4A3. The Soviet Union got a lot of the former but none of the latter, and Zvezda of course put their focus somewhat on their own country more than foreign ones, plus they already have the necessary engine deck and hull rear from the 75-mm version of the M4A2 they did a few years ago. Still, I suppose if you buy both you can easily make a Soviet M4A2 (76) anyway

It'll be interesting to see how much the 3-D printed tracks go for.....................

On the ICM Facebook page - 'August release'

The ICM G4 in 1/35 is one of their really nice staff cars ( ICM did it in 1/24 & 1/72 as well ). Just added a couple of sprues with the mgs, new boxart - Presto - New KIt!

Oh, look, one of the tanks that we didn’t need anymore because tanks aren’t any use in a war like in Afghanistan. So we sold a bunch to Canada, which immediately deployed them to … yep.

It'll be interesting to see how much the 3-D printed tracks go for.....................

Also whether they’ll actually add anything. These tracks all seem ones that would be just as easy to do in plastic, though I suppose being 3D-printed there’ll be less cleanup to do. Still, if you ask me, the main benefit of 3D printing would be in tracks with things like hollow guide horns or other overhanging bits that would need to be moulded separately in plastic, or opened up by hand in metal or traditional resin.

From MiniArt - 'new model coming soon'

Well, around 70,000 T-55s were produced, so MiniArt have a bit more work to do!

On the Special Hobby Facebook page - not sure if this is new, but looks very nice!
