Bet your already making plans for this one ,I think the real thing is still one of the best looking afv's I'm waiting for a decent 72nd version, thanks for showing Pete. Dave

On the Trumpeter/HobbyBoss Facebook page - " surprise - Buffel ARV in 1/35 "

I gather there has been a lot of controversy over various makers releasing models of the Leopard 2, and it's variants at the same time - hints of bad faith & direct accusations of theft of data. I must admit it sounds odd, all these makers coming up with the same models - unless they all used the same market research firm!

As I recall, that question has been raised every so often over the last 30 years or more. I guess it’s partly a matter of different manufacturers reaching similar conclusions when asking their customers what they want, partly seeing what their competitors do and following them, and partly making the most of the moulds they have by releasing variants.

I wonder if the Hobby Boss version does include parts for the Dutch vehicle, though

On the Takom Facebook page - new items coming soon...................

Problem - How to display the Zeppelins & the Ekranoplan?

On the Zvezda Facebook page boxart for their soon to be released M4A3 ( 76 ) W


On the Copper State Model Facebook page 'final renders' of their 1/32 Caudron G.III

Nice! - but all that rigging!!!
It looks like CSM have really taken up the mantle from Wingnut Wings, on 1/32 WWI aircraft!

From MiniArt - 'new model coming soon'

Certainly different - but I can't imagine there's a massive market for these - I'd have thought more suited to a resin AM maker!

I see lots being used for local scenes in the East.

From MiniArt - 'new kit coming soon'

Crew? Crew for what? Armed Crop Harvesting?

On the ICM Facebook page, renders of an upcoming unusual subject, in 1/35.
Laffly V15T - French Artillery tractor - I believe there was a resin model made of this in 1/35, but certainly this will be the first injection moulded version. ICM seem determined to be the leader in softskin models!

Ah miniart! That must be a fun place to work at :smiling5:

With a snout like that it's obvious why there are trainer wheels in the front. :tears-of-joy:
