Was cheese ever sold this way? I recall open market stalls in the 60's selling cheese, but nothing like this! One important thing missing - a set of weighing scales = those were a feature of Roman 'shops', so a set of scales would be present. An elegantly dressed woman, with high heels & a pearl necklace - usual attire for food shopping?. Some of the latest MiniArt sets are a little off-beam to me!

Well I guess her jogging suit was in the wash that day Dave. People those days, (I am assuming WWII ish times) the well to do did get dressed up to go shopping. Or at least made the effort. Men even wore suits and not just while at work. A set of scales will probably turn up in some forthcoming "accessories" set.

I don't believe the cheese seller would be wearing, never mind be able to afford, those high heels.

Have you seen the price of cheese lol.
Its not like they are stilettoes Neil. A smart pair of pumps for market, again people did dress with a touch more finnesse those days.
Try cutting those cheeses with a wire and it will break. A heavy curved blade as Jakko posted would be more the norm in continental Europe.

On the DoraWings Facebook pge - test build of their Fairey Delta 2 in 1/72

The FD 2 was the first aircraft to exceed 1000 mph in level flight - a really graceful aircraft - until it lowered its' nose for take off & landing..............

If the CSM new offerings are up to their usual standard then I can see my stash of WW1 vehicles increasing....

Close up of the individual sprues on their Facebook page
On their Facebook page, CSM regularly ask their followers for any contemporary photos for reference & they are pretty interactive. One thing I do have a doubt about - Armoured Car? - surely Armoured Lorry! :thinking:

“Jul–Oct 1943” — when will we get “Serial number 11063–11271 (excl. 11152, 11153, 11157–11162)”?

Sat here in the smallest room it took some stinking sorry I mean thinking but I'm pretty sure though I will probably be corrected this is the one with the diffrent wheel nuts, cleverly done not even complete new moulds.

I made the Revell 1/72 F-13 some time ago - a dainty model - this should be a bit more handleable!

On the Gecko Facebook page - available later this year





It does say figures & PAK not included - I guess it must be based on a contemporary photo! The boxart shows an elliptical tank, the renders a round one!

The render appears to show it from an odd angle that makes it look circular, is my guess. I’ve seen another discussion about this, and the conclusion there is that it’s indeed elliptical.

However, I didn’t know the PaK 36 was a 7.5 cm weapon …

No way that render is elliptical…….the door join diameter is pretty much the same length as the horizontal diameter and the angle between the hinges and the tank circumference is totally different to the box art.

Maybe Fritz drilled the barrel up from 3.7 cm to 7.5 cm, when he got bored Jakko......you have to love their technical research for this kit. Probably the same folks who researched your LCA kit.....

Prost

All the contemporary photos show an elliptical tank - so either the renders are wrong, or it is a different shape tank that Gecko have modelled!
