Academy is going to release a newly-tooled aircraft in a panzer scale.
U.S.Army RQ-7B UAV
Scale: 1/35
Item No.: 12117

Model kit features, according to Academy description:
  • Two figures and display stand included
  • Camouflage for figures reproduced as decals
  • Decals made by Cartograf

Academy declares that the kit is a “newly tooled”.
Although a kit is released in “panzer” scale its release with two figures of land crew is a great idea for a small diorama. Camouflage pattern is printed on a decal so I suppose it would be easier for “aviators” to apply it with good effect, even on curved surface of a figure, than paint using those strange and unknown techniques, typical for figure-painters. Generally I find it a goood idea for getting out of a comfort zone for a while.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE.
