Must admit, the hamster cheeks look weird…..

I actually measured up the blocks on the one in Bovington long ago. More on that here, for those wanting to check their kits for accuracy And given that, this is one of the few T-55 kits I can get excited about

The Otter is interesting, there hasn't been a mainstream 1/35 model of this!

Looks like two versions of Otter are possible, one hot & one cold.

Hmmm - Rye Field Models are releasing the same variant, same scale. The RFM models says 'engine parts', whereas the MiniArt has ' interior '. Be interesting to see how the pricing compares!

A very old new item. 1/35 Pteranodon which is said to have been alive during the late Cretaceous period. Perfect for diorama and school projects. Includes a display to recreate ocean and cliff scene, plus a scale human plate for actual size reference. Available next month.

That Princess kit looks like they’ve put the old Queens head on the young Princess’ body? She simply looks too old for the pose they are recreating.

Trumpeter

1/250 Jeanne d'Arc ( not very good boxart! )

I saw the Jeanne d'Arc in Falmouth - early 70's

not my picture, but the boxart is poor IMO

On the Takom Facebook page - a teaser

A Sd.kfz. 251 variant?
Dave

 

[Guest]

Either that or a 250 Ausf. A. I’m leaning towards that, as the silhouette doesn’t seem to have any stowage lockers under the overhangs on the hull sides.

Checking a book real quick, yes, it’s an Sd.Kfz. 250 Ausf. A. Only real question is which subtype (/1, /2, /6, etc.) as many of them would look identical like this.

The answer to the Das Werk teaser..........

Never heard of it

[Guest]

I have, though I don’t know too much about it. It’s basically one of those “protected” vehicles that western armies all scrambled to get once they became involved in the war in Afghanistan.
