From an emailshot from MiniArt 'in process'

Hmm, I'm sure that there is a modeller somewhere who has been waiting for the T-55 with OMSh tracks but I have to confess it's not me!

T-54/55s are like Shermans and M113s: you can pretty much build variants of them for the rest of your life and not do any of them twice.

On the Rye Field Model Facebook page -boxart & sprues - available January[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1111332[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1111333[/ATTACH]
On the Gecko Facebook page [ATTACH=CONFIG]n1111334[/ATTACH]
No info on availability, but Gecko say this is the first of a series of vehicles based on the Bedford 15cwt.

Pondering - there has been no better time to be a softskin modeller ( at least in 1/35 )!!!!!
Dave

looking forward to these.

A new Challenger 2? There goes my 'not buying any more kits' idea.:thinking:

An early Xmas day emailshot from MiniArt 'coming soon'

On the MiniArt Facebook page ' kit in progress'
It looks like MiniArt are moving towards WWI subjects - this following their LTC Bus
Who would have forecast 1/35 WWI Softskins? hats off to ICM & MiniArt!

The text on the side has me wondering what it means: “Load not to exceed 1.10.0.”? What units would refer to?

[stillp]

One ton, ten hundredweight, zero pounds?

Looking at the decal sheet on Instagram there does look to be some units above each number, but the picture is too indestinct to make out what they are.

[Dave Ward]

Yes - 1 ton 10cwt - or a ton-and-a-half = 1.52 tonnes

No more info..................
Since only Trumpeter & Tamiya made models of the early Challenger 2s - this seems overdue.........
Dave

Yes, now all i have to do is throw out all the info, worry beads and other speculation and wait for the kit to come out.

One ton, ten hundredweight, zero pounds?

Argh, of course … I was thinking it might involve hundredweights, but it didn’t dawn on me that that would be the second number.

[Dave Ward]

On the ICM website - 'in process' - a real mix!


First of a set - includes truck, 5 figures, base and background (?)


Think this is a reboxing of existing model(s)


I think that this could be interesting ( anything is better than the MiniArt 1/16 models! )


I really like this one!! I don't think there has been a plastic model of this...................

The Bf109 F4 will be great for a diorama

[Dave Ward]

Al,
the Bf109 F-4 is not a new model ( from 2006 ), but it is nicely detailed - it has a 20 part + full engine & full cockpit
