Jack is a perjorative term for any Boaty people mate ( especially those who choose to wear Navy Blue Knickers (aka No,8's)

I had to watch the video a few times to make sure I saw all the aeroplanes

Aeroplanes? I'd better watch it again!

maybe a licence thing. Leave the name off the box = cheaper sales price...?

I’ve been wondering (a little) about it too, because this doesn’t seem like it falls in the category where companies are likely to make a fuss over that. But maybe they’re just playing it safe?

It takes a special breed to do that Steve! One that us skimmers were good at doing, :tears-of-joy:

I thought the digital camo looked a little sparse - then I realised it's in 1/72!!

On the Copper State Models Facebook page tooling for their upcoming 1/35 1917 Ehrhardt Armoured Car under production

Great photos - it really shows how complex the moulds are, and you can see why they cost so much!
Dave
edit - looking at the photos, I reckon they're the top and bottom half of one mould ( top piccy being milled )

A rebox, with the addition of the canvas tilt. I wonder what is meant by 'bright colour schemes'?

Spotted over on PlanetFigure Forum - RP models ; US Delta Force with Gator Support Vehicle, its not up on their website yet;

It took about 2 years to make, and a lot went wrong, where we made a lot of advances and setbacks as we entered completely new paths. But the big day has finally arrived... It's done... It is with great pride that I present a Delta Force team with the Gator support vehicle...



This is a 1/16, 1/24 and a 1/35 model... This is a Limited Edition of 300 units in 1/35, 200 units in 1/24 and 100 units in 120mm...

I wonder what is meant by 'bright colour schemes'?

Maybe to go with the civilian licence plates it mentions? Or perhaps something like a vehicle used by EOD, that had large areas of red?

[Lee W]

Well this looks different and interesting!
