Another 1/48 item - could we expect a torrent of 1/48 T-55s & StuGs?

Not to mention road signs……..

These'll be great for aircraft dioramas.

If MiniArt have these items on CAD, then scaling model files up or down is just a few clicks away - that cuts out one expense & there do seem to be a few more1/48 armour kits around...........

Nothing new but this greatly excited me.

A few 1/32 lightnings available from China all of a sudden.
Price seems very reasonable compare to what these usually go for.
Down side is about 3 months wait for it to arrive.
I have gone for one as it's always good to have a reserve and price is far lower than the last one I bought also as my other half seems incapable of seeing that one is clearly and F2A/F6 and the other is a F1A/F3. Have sold this to the other half as it's bought the average cost down so by having two I have paid less.
I hope maybe there is a new run and we will see these in the SM shop soon as I think I will get another of each so I have proper spares and can actually build one).

But being g sold in bite size chunks would mean you buy what you need/want.

Like the magazine issues..........yours to build over 8,000 issues, introductory price for first issue 99p (usual price £14.95).

That’s pretty much what I was thinking too. Far better to buy a single kit rather than in installments: what if you miss one? “Yeah, you can see why the Titanic sank, what with having only half a hull and all …”

"Forces of Valour" 1/200 USS Enterprise...............................

Not really my cup of tea ( some of those Tomcat marking look a little off to me ). No idea of how much the whole thing would cost, I suspect it won't be cheap!
Dave

Dave,
The aircraft are the 1/200 scale metal models you can buy seperatly....

[The Smythe Meister]

...... Don't see the fun in that personally!

[Dave Ward]

I know that a lot of people wanted to see this :rolling:

I've looked around & the individual packs prices all seem to vary! - on ebay from £32 to £43, and the bridge for >£52. Only Tomcats! Good look in sourcing other 1/200 aircraft - F/A-18, Prowlers, Hawkeyes etc etc...........

'Liefer' means delivery & 'Pritschenwagen' means platform truck, or flatbed. How many farmers had a Mercedes Benz pickup?

Not many given how unmechanised Germany was before the war, compared to likes of the UK and in particular France..... And then there's the cost!

Let’s begin with the most recent chapter: in 1945, the Second World War had ended, Germany lay in ruins – but things were destined to get better. Stuttgart was located in the American occupation zone. As early as November 1945, the economic agency granted the then Daimler-Benz AG a production permit for urgently needed platform trucks, panel vans and ambulances. These vehicles contributed to ensuring the survival of the population. The basic vehicle was the 170 V, a tried-and-tested pre-war design.

After the Second World War, it was platform trucks based on the 170 V that signalled the return to vehicle production.
