I probably would have too Jakko, but just the size/scale is way to big for me. I can only imagine what the aftermarket will produce for it later. Plus, think about the price(s) too!!!

I’m not holding my breath, this Lanmo Models doesn’t have that great track record with accuracy.

AFV Club is going to release a YPR 765 PRAT (anti-tank) and a YPR 765 PRGN (combat engineer vehicle).
PRAT:

It says “pri50” but with the big rack on the back, it’s a late-version PRGN, which you could also build as a PRI .50 (the infantry vehicle with a machine gun rather than a 25 mm turret) by leaving off the rack.

Isn’t that always the case? 
Used to be a standing joke in railway modelling…..if you wanted Hornby or Dapol etc to produce a certain engine, scratchbuild one. As the great man said…..build it and they will come……
On the MikroMir Facebook page, from their associate company, AMP - available already
WOW! :smiling4:

WOW! :smiling4:

What a great subject :thumb2: . Needs a David Niven figure to pilot it though.
I just noticed, It says on the box ( top left ), 'Schneider Trophy Series' - I hope that means we may see beauties like the Macchi & Curtiss contenders!

Clark Gable would be better!
Yes, but David Niven played the pilot who flew it in “First of the few”…..Clarke Gable, well frankly my dear he didn’t give a damn…..Clark Gable would be better!
Great subject, I've noticed on some of the MikroMir stuff they actually say injection moulded I suppose compared to the short run process? Still the sprues look good dont fancy trying to remove the etch rigging from the fret. Dave
I wonder if any modellers in Weymouth will be building this as the aircraft was regularly seen near the old bandstand pier. Saw some images way back Schneider Cup competitors in that area. (Must of been in the local rag??)

Used to find that with Tamiya, scratchbuilt the M-113 they brought it out, then the M-577 - yep! out it came....
I remember scratching an LMS parcels van back in the day. Took it to a club meet and someone said “that’s nice, did you upgrade the palitoy one”…..I didn’t even know they made it :sleeping2:
G
I know, heartbreaking..... Had that done to me as well and not looking forward to it next year as I know someone will ask the same question about one of my entries.

This is why it’s important to take photographs before you paint the model
To be fair to me Jakko mine was several levels above the train set one, and looked it. It had sprung buffers, working three link couplings, a sprung compensated chassis, proper corridor connections and correct scale gauge and flange width wheels……as well as a fully detailed underframe and multi level side relief. Took me a good two months to build it.
