Spots on the Internet (2023)

Looked on Scalemates earlier and found 130 assorted StuG kits in 1/35. Hard to get excited over yet another one!
It's o.k. Dave, at this rate they'll have to start giving them production numbers .....just like the real ones and of course, you could also use the dunkelgelb method of telling them apart by which "shade" they are....and then there would be the subvariants' identified by the "early" or "late" shade of dunkelgelb :tongue-out3: ...Taxi!!
 
Must admit the interior looks good on that Stug. However, unless miniart have improved the quality of the plastic they use, all those fine parts will simply be an exercise in pure frustration as parts break time and time again.
 
Personally I still don’t think the lengths of wood would hold up the barrels. They would most likely snap in the middle as the barrels were moved up….
Don't fancy being the bloke standing between the planks if the bloke on the back of the truck decides to get a few rope burns when the barrel slips.....
 
I actually have seen wartime photos of the krauts loading a JU 52 in this fashion, as crazy as it seems......it apparently works.
True, but compare the thickness of the beams they are using...
 
Will be interesting to see what the Typhoon K is like. The Zvezda one I built was a beauty of a kit.
 
WTF … An M29 Weasel!

All we need now is the M29C …
 
Just wondering, but didn't Monogram make a kit of the Weasel in 1/32 about a 70 years ago??? Or are all my brain cells dead???...

Prost

I wonder if the M29C is on the cards.
I’m fairly sure that either Takom will release it, or someone will bring out a conversion set for it. In either case, I would be happy because I won’t need to finish the LZ Models one.

They did, like Andrea said. It’s a horrible kit by modern standards even if you disregard the fact that it’s 1:32 and so won’t fit well in a collection of 1:35 scale ones. Here’s some idea of what you need to do to that kit to bring it up to current standards:

The G has numerous versions and is so easy to do, just tweak a sprue and hy presto another G. But a lot of these new kits are inaccurate!

The previous Ausf's have only one version apart from the F and they have been covered by Dragon. They are milking the StuG big time
