I should think the modelling community lets out a collective sigh every time one of these is announced?

Either I'm not watching the right TV, or it's not broadcast in the UK!

"Pulp Fiction".........a Hollywood "cult" classic. Not one of my favs.

Always liked that film. In particular I love the jackrabbit slim scene, but he don’t look like JT to me.....to my mind this was John Travolta’s second best film. The best obviously being hairspray!

I have watched it, the best bit was Uma Thurman... schwing!

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....

I used to think that there were more kits of Tiger tanks than there were real Tigers actually produced. MiniArt seems to be trying to do the same with Panzer IVs all by themselves. Like I said before: they could just stick parts for several versions into a single box.
