Happy new year.
A new year, a new thread. Please no chit chat. A single comment is acceptable. Once it starts going back and forth then it's going to get deleted. If you want to discuss a post with the OP message them!

Opening up the 2024 thread................
On the Border Model Facebook page - some upcoming releases
I must confess, I can't understand why Border are releasing these in 1/35 - I know it ties in with AFVs, but surely It'd make more sense in 1/32?
Dave
ps Happy New Year!

Hmmm - 'Ben Hur'? The film with the famous chariot race didn't come out until 1959. OK, the book was 1880 ( by Civil War General Lew Wallace! ), but I reckon the name is a modern add

The nickname comes from the original manufacturer, Ben-Hur Mfg. Co. from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. Not sure if it was used during the war already, but it’s not inconceivable.

It doesn’t appear to be used in the technical manual — not too surprisingly — to which I might add that only the US Army would publish an 89-page manual for a trailer …
