That's the only kit I find (very) interesting. Don't understand the "paper" tanks, really (but after all: "tastes are tastes" as the guy using nettles as toilet paper used to say ... :tongue-out3: )

There is an interesting YouTube video about Airfix. Well worth watching.

Interesting to see that the new Buccaneer is being produced from a harder plastic.

And how many brands make a Tiger tank or a Spitfire or and Me 109....?

I also saw they made a point of saying it would be produced in the UK. Double bonus.

As is the new 1/24 Spitfire. Fingers crossed that they can deliver a product that does justice to that excellent engineering and design.

I hope that U boot isn't the same kind of money as their Lancaster.....

On the Kovozávodů Prostějov Facebook page - some upcoming releases

Hmm - why 3 boxings? - why not one with all the decal options?

On the Copper State Models Facebook page - updated renderings of their upcoming Austin armoured car in 1/35

Love the way they represent the tyre treads!

On the ICM website

These sets cost around the £6 mark - If you're an airplane modeller & don't have the paints for a one-off AFV/Vehicle model then these are pretty good. I've had several sets & the paint is not bad - they're small bottles, but the sets are good value if you only need colours for one specific model - ICM produce about 15 sets, for figures, aircraft & tanks/vehicles - worth keeping an eye out for them!

Looks like all the LVGs have different engines Dave, and the third one looks to have a different top wing manifold arrangement. Not sure that requires three boxings though.

It does if you strive to be like Hasegawa
