On the Trumpeter/HobbyBoss Facebook page - " surprise - Buffel ARV in 1/35 "

I gather there has been a lot of controversy over various makers releasing models of the Leopard 2, and it's variants at the same time - hints of bad faith & direct accusations of theft of data. I must admit it sounds odd, all these makers coming up with the same models - unless they all used the same market research firm!

Perhaps they have all copied the resin 1/35 scale release from Perfect Scale Modelbau????

ICM seem to be one of the busiest makers at the moment!

Dave. Remember that tracked conversion I did some time back, think I might be in for this as it looks pretty good. Still have the truck , but it wasn't a G7017. , think it was a Zil.

The ICM G7107 is ICMs latest model - they were made by Chevy & a load were supplied to Russia as lend lease, and the Russians mounted the BM13 on anything they could!

From MiniArt - 'new kit coming soon'

Crew? Crew for what? Armed Crop Harvesting?

On the ICM Facebook page, renders of an upcoming unusual subject, in 1/35.
Laffly V15T - French Artillery tractor - I believe there was a resin model made of this in 1/35, but certainly this will be the first injection moulded version. ICM seem determined to be the leader in softskin models!

Ah you poor poor unusual subject starved large scalers you've come in second again to the tru-scalers we've had a injection moulded version for absolutely ages, check out ace models all yours for under twelve squids. Dave
Please for the more delicate though true the above statement is meant to be toung in cheek. So no need to contact points of view.

I still don't know what the training wheels are for!:sleeping2:
 
Hi Dave. As I understand it, they are a way to stop the truck jamming on uneven ground when going cross country. A bit like the trench skids on some early WW1 tanks. Imagine going across rough ground, if the front whee drop into a hollow the nose could remain stuck on the higher ground, holding the front wheels off the ground and stopping traction. The trainer wheels allow the truck to still move when pulled or pushed by the back wheels…
 
On the ICM Facebook page - boxart - soon to be released

Wouldn't these be more useful if they were actually sitting in the helicopter?

Yes Dave it would be the ideal place for them but for dio makers its easier not to make a flying Huey.

Cheers,

Plus they didn't wear the cool Air Cavalry hats in the cockpit.
 
From ICM - renders of a forthcoming model, Gotha Go 242B in 1/48!

I bet there's a Go 244 in the pipeline as well, & wasn't the Heinkel HeIII 'Zwilling' used as the towplane? ( also modelled by ICM )
Dave
 
Now we need that in 1:35 … if Bronco can do a Horsa in that scale, ICM can surely do a big German glider as the counterpart? Think of the diorama potential :)

Were Go 242s ever used in air assaults? I know they were use as transports, but actual action?
Dave
 
I have no idea, to be honest :) But it’s a troop carrier, so there’d be a lot of potential to surround it with figures climbing aboard, preparing kit, etc.

There's a bit of the framework of one plus that of a DFS230 at the memorial to the battle of Vercors in France.

Nick.
 
I read somewhere they were deployed to North Africa for cargo missions, but no word as to assaults.
