Spots on the Internet (2023)

I actually have seen wartime photos of the krauts loading a JU 52 in this fashion, as crazy as it seems......it apparently works.[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1200246[/ATTACH]

True, but compare the thickness of the beams they are using...

Yes Tim , far to thin ,bend first then a loud crack and lots of swearing !

And dancing around with flat toes like 'old pointy toes' opposite me, and that was just the plastic wrap.....

Will be interesting to see what the Typhoon K is like. The Zvezda one I built was a beauty of a kit.

WTF … An M29 Weasel!



All we need now is the M29C …

Just wondering, but didn't Monogram make a kit of the Weasel in 1/32 about a 70 years ago??? Or are all my brain cells dead???...

Totally useless lol

Will get this, I was wondering if they would do Hood turret

I’m fairly sure that either Takom will release it, or someone will bring out a conversion set for it. In either case, I would be happy because I won’t need to finish the LZ Models one.

They did, like Andrea said. It’s a horrible kit by modern standards even if you disregard the fact that it’s 1:32 and so won’t fit well in a collection of 1:35 scale ones. Here’s some idea of what you need to do to that kit to bring it up to current standards:

Looked on Scalemates earlier and found 130 assorted StuG kits in 1/35. Hard to get excited over yet another one!

The G has numerous versions and is so easy to do, just tweak a sprue and hy presto another G. But a lot of these new kits are inaccurate!

The previous Ausf's have only one version apart from the F and they have been covered by Dragon. They are milking the StuG big time
