On the Takom Facebook page - a teaser!

From the shape - the Caspian Sea Monster - no further info - no scale. Zvezda are the only other maker who have done an Ekranoplan - in 1/144 ( but not this version )


On the Gecko Facebook page - continuing their release of support vehicles - no further info

That is certainly different!

On the ICM Facebook page, boxart for their upcoming release

A bit more mundane than Takom & Gecko, but essential for a diorama.

I like that LARC-V. How many do you think they need to sell in order to consider a BARC as a companion to it?

Interesting that ICM have released these ground crew dave , suggests something vietnam era USAF is in the pipeline , if i recall they did this with the 1/32 gladiator - released the pilots set with a gladiator in the background then a few months later the aircraft appeared . If this follows we might be getting a phantom in 1/48 .

I thought at first of crew for the Invader, but the pilot is clearly a jet jockey, but only one - which suggests a F-105 'Thud' pilot - the ground crew are USAF, so the questions remains.................

On the ICM Facebook page, built up model of their Leyland Retriever GSM ( early )

ICM are also asking feedback for ' What British vehicles you want us to release in future? '

Good point dave , if they intended doing a phantom surely they would have provided 2 pilots ( even though the pilot in the pic looks suspiciously like Robin Olds , the most famous phantom pilot of all )

On the Border Model Facebook page - 'it's here' - their Bf109 in 1/35!

Not sure what the market is for 1/35 planes, but looks good!

From MiniArt - 'new kit coming soon'

The only thing that I can see as specifically 'tank', is the Enfield revolver with the bobbed hammer..................

Not sure about the market for that 109 either Dave? Really not sure about the random metal part either. I’d take the seat belts over the metal propeller every day of the week.....

[Dave Ward]

On the Roden Facebook page - upcoming releases:

B-36H Peacemaker in 1/144 - Their earlier release was the 6-engined version - this is the 10!


SPAD XIIIc1 in 1/32

Paul,
Hannants have it at £71.82, with their pre order discount - for 3 kits = £24 each ( singly around the £35 mark ), so, good value. Sadly I have a WOT 6 in the stash, so I'm not in the market for another

No “yawn” icon to go with this news.....there must be more potential kits of this tank out there than were made by the Wehrmacht....
