Spots on the Internet (2022)

[wotan]

Not strictly on subject but, as you know I am an expat living in Canada, so I often watch BBC world news. Amazingly today they had a short piece on and I quote, "The renewed interest in making plastic models" As an example they mentioned and showed a tour of the Airfix plant, the Airfix 1/24 spitfire, "made in England" and showed a number of people building the kit and how much they enjoyed the whole process.

There's still life in this hobby then after all.

Heller have released a video explaining the present state of the company and what 2023 has in store.
Some interesting things ( well I thought some were )

Thanks for that Gary - interesting to to see the ICM models appearing under another label & we'll see how their prices will compare with the originals............

I hope that they pisk up and carry on with the 1/16 scale cars that they had in the past.

22 m rotor diameter, that’s almost 63 cm in scale … plus however much of the tail sticks out beyond it … Good luck finding room for this one

I would think that ICM would do some loads for this..........

Could always do it with a M114.

Vietnam Tracks by Simon Dunstan has a photo of a CH-47 pulling a bogged-down M113 from the mud. The caption for it notes that the CH-54 would be used for that as well …

ICM will probably milk the tooling for all and any variants to cover costs. Fire control. Civilian flying cranes...
