I’m so glad I scratchbuilt the interior of a 75 mm dry stowage Sherman instead of a 76 mm (and thus, wet stowage) one, else I’d be very annoyed now

Hmmm wingspan 1.228m - 975 parts - weight 2.565KG - ( must be more than polystyrene! ) - I didn't even look for the price!
You'd have to build a house extension to display it!

This kit is a limited edition of 100 pieces. It uses fiberglass parts as well as plastic and, everybody sit down and hold tight, sells for $699.99 in the states. Sprue Brothers Models have them in stock. More info on their site.

On the Arma Hobby Facebook page - sprue pictures of their 1/72 Wildcat - they say that the Polish Postal System has suspended all International mail, so they're not sure when it will be available. Interesting to compare this with the Airfix Martlet ( which has folding wings )


On the Rye Field Model Facebook page - their 'next release'

And from the MiniArt Facebook page - 'coming soon'


and the next release will be a troupe of Brass Monkeys............................................

edit - oddly enough, the guy on the right seems to have an electric arc mask, but is holding a gas torch...................

Aren't those the guys shown on the box art of that 'ball' tank they released recently?

oddly enough, the guy on the right seems to have an electric arc mask, but is holding a gas torch...................

I spotted that. The guy on the left looks to be cutting and unless the welding substrate is in situ I'm not sure how either of them is welding.
And you're right about the guy on the right, the mask doesn't match the tool!

I have a half-built diorama that was going to have an Academy Tiger (the kit with full interior) in it, split in half lengthwise with a big gap in the middle of the diorama too — sort of like Bovington’s Centurion — showing the crew and infantry around it in action. Part of me would really like to finish it, but I doubt I ever will …

Out of interest @Jakko , how would you have done this? Made the model (more or less), and cut through, or cut first and then make a left and a right side? I have a Takom Jagdpanther with interior, which is more or less complete, except the various subsections refuse to go together. I can't decide how to try and finish/display it.
