Is it just me - or does that look wrong? Or is it meant to be a toon? Some of the other Aoshima car boxarts are a bit dodgy as well!

Ideal for a window shelf - long & thin

A metre long and only perhaps 25 cm wide (15 cm for the V1 and a bit more for the stuff beside the ramp), yes, that would go well on a window sill or a plank on the wall, I suppose.

They say dreams come true if you wait long enough!!! I've been after Didier at Azimuth to recast his launch ramp kit of this with no luck. The accurate Armour kit is long out of stock, crap and too expensive. Any idea when this will be released Dave???

PS, my wallet doesn't have a chance in hell to run away from this kit.....................

Thank you Sir!

[Dave Ward]

Thank you Sir!

Like a lot of these makers, they don't keep their websites up to date - Takom's hasn't been updated in ages ( I think - it's not that easy to navigate!

On the IBG Facebook page - 'available soon'

[Dave Ward]

On the Gecko Facebook page - boxart for their soon to be released Heavy Ambulances............

Dave

[Tim Marlow]

Great subject, not sure of the first box art though. I assume the boxing just contains decals and colour scheme for Katy and that’s another option? Surely Katy would be in desert Camo?
