I'm sure I've seen this release before... a few years back

[Allen Dewire]

€124.95 at Modellbau Koenig, Das Werk’s parent company. For comparison, that’s about €55 less than what they sell Andy’s Hobby Headquarters’s 1:16 scale M4A3 (HVSS) Sherman kit for.

I wonder how it relates to the Trumpeter one.

The Trumpeter model #00942 is cheaper Jakko @ between €75 and €85, but it it doesn't have the detailed engine compartment or the motor. Probably a few less other details too........

Prost

1/48 with full interior is enticing. Details and not too much space on the shelf.

Ok.....so albeit a slightly unusual 'Spot on the internet', I think it counts....it is a plane and you can buy it.....

So if you have modest US$2,000,000 you can apparently have your very own 1:1 scale B-25 Mitchell bomber!

An update on Border models Akagi and Kate...
This looks like it's going to need a big shelf to fit on!
Rough calculations, length is going to be about 50-60cm, depth 30-40cm, the same for the height.
All calculations are classed as guesstimations with a hint of ish added...

On the Border Models Facebook page - further info on the Akagi/Kate model

The picture looks odd at first- surely the plane is facing the wrong way? - but the Akagi ( and the Hiryu ) had her island bridge to PORT, unlike 99% of carriers. I have seen various explanations for this, none particularly convincing. Whichever way you look at this, it's going to be quite an expanse of plastic - it'll need some strengthening to keep from sagging

I don’t see how it would make any difference at all in practical terms one way or the other?
