1/9th Kubelwagen


Most likely a re-issue of the ESCI kit....still welcome for those who like large size models.
Cheers,

A rather mixed bag on the 1/35th armour front - I see several repops and the ancient Esci assault engineers and partisans being resurrected again!

Not much to get excited about. Looks like a lot of reissues. I'll probably pick up the KA-6, T-45 and A-4 but that's it. The Tornado GR
4 might be about the best of the bunch.
Be interested to see where the 1/35 Char B has come from. Tamiya perhaps?

Hmm some Turkish armour...I was about to make tasteless remarks on ways to get yourself noticed by model companies and thought better of it. It is nice to see some Turkish decals out of box for a change. It is nice to see 1/72 P-47 is back and so is Ju86.

That 1/48 Saab 37 Viggen will surely be added to my Saab stash ....
Does anybody know about the 1/35 Leopard 2A4 kit? Never heard of it. Take it or leave it?

James,
Tanks for posting Italeri's 2018 new releases. I'm in for the 1/12 scale Alfa Romeo C179C.

Is that a new mold or just a re-pop of the Protar kit?

Good question. If it's the old Protar kit at a insane price, I'll just take a pass on it. I've mostly been collecting 1/25.1/24 & 1/20 race car kits that I'm finally going to be alternating my aircraft builds with now that I'm retired. So for me to buy a 1/12 kit, it has to be cutting edge and at a realistic price point.
