On the Italeri Facebook page - 'new' releases

Reboxes, but the Stirling has been offered as the Mk.I & Mk.IV before, so some new parts?

Dave

Hi Dave

The short answer to that question is 'yes'. I've been looking for a Stirling for my 'Hunters and Hunted' collection. The Mk IV is wrong because of it's role as at tug/paratrooper transport plus it's pricey used and the Mk I which works for me is impossible to find.

So when I saw this announced I was very pleased....you can get it on pre-order but the price is around £45...... :sad: :crying:

Too small for my fat fingers lol

Also a shame that they have got the WkNr wrong for Red 4. Should be 170933

This one both gets me excited and disappointed …

AFV Club have announced/shown a Churchill AVRE with small box girder assault bridge — in plastic! If you know about one of my main interests of the past few years, it’ll be no surprise I want one However … I recently ordered the conversion set from IMA to build one, so this is not as good news as it might otherwise have been.

Rather excited about this. ZM mock up of their planned Fw190

Really!?!?? You surprise me somewhat!

Not really quite sure what you are trying to imply there Andrew

Methinks he thinks you think a lot of the FW 190

If the Meng Ford GT40 is anything to go by this will be in the £50-60 range

It's nice to know that Meng's tires don't smell bad...:rolling::smiling4:
I'd go for it (the car, not the smell :smiling6 but in 1:1 scale...:money-face: Unfortunately, my bank account has a different opinion ...:disappointed2:

On the AFV Club Facebook page - test shots of their upcoming 1/35 Churchill Mk.IV AVRE with SBG

AFV Club aren't forthcoming with any more details, either on Facebook, or on their website
Dave

 

[Guest]

These photos already show all the new parts, as far as I can tell — the Churchill hull won’t need changes other than the stuff you can see here: the winch on the back and a bracket on the bow to carry the bridge. I can’t wait for this kit to come out …

Once again Revell seem to sliding a model out, without any fanfare - it's a reboxing of their 1/48 Typhoon, but with rather special decals - 'available June'

'Black Jack' - either a huge decal sheet - or a masking exercise!
Dave

 

[Dave Ward]

On the Special Hobby Facebook page - an upcoming issue

The main sprues are by Academy, with additional parts ( to make a D-5 ) & decals by SH

On the Takom Facebook page - upcoming issue, no further details



On the Meng Facebook page - announcing the first of a new range - available June

They are easy assembly models - it looks as if they're following the lead of the Zvezda 1/72 models - pity it's of a subject virtually unknown outside of China.

Set for release on 30th May is the Chesapeake Bay Oyster Boat from Atlantis kits of New York, USA. The kit was originally by Pyro and later by Lindberg.
