Hi all

Apologies if these have already been highlighted but I don't think I've seen them.

Found these on the Airfix website and are all new tools. Interestingly for the braille scale ones they're 1/72 rather than the Airfix's usual 1/76 for AFVs.

They're also interesting in that the 1/72 ones are offering two sets of tracks - one fully quick build all in one piece and a second set that needs more assembly and have link and length tracks. I know that won't be to everyone's taste but as someone who got back into the hobby via my son asking for a kit, I know it would have great for us as he was only six at the time and yet offers something for the older child/adult.

Maybe not the most original subject matter but new tools nonetheless.

Missed opportunity with the Sherman VC, I’d say … with a bit better design they could easily also have included the parts for a regular Sherman V. The Cromwells looks interesting, I wonder how they compare to Tamiya’s.

Indeed - just like the Plastic Soldier Company!

Not sure about the Orthodox praying man, and how you'd incorporate him in a tank crew diorama

You see that pretty often in photos of Israeli soldiers at rest, at least in photos from the wars in the 1960s and 70s. I kind of doubt it’s changed much since then.

( humour mode on ) You could have him sitting outside a vehicle , others reloading the ammo bins , and a phrase of '' praise the lord and pass the ammunition'' as diorama title

A Tiger Moth! - logical, I suppose after the Kaydet & the Bucker trainers, this could be popular, unless you have a stash of the old Matchbox model!
