Verlinden has
some nice new resin novelties for us this month – from Roman times to the
bitter winters of WWII to the modern airforce airfields of now. Let’s see what
is on the way in our preview…
Verlinden’s May 2015 releases
2830
1/32nd / 54mm
$14.95
The early era Roman is seen in a cream resin 32nd
scale (or 54mm) sculpt with a small base to form a vignette ready to go if you
like. He us seen holding a short Gladius with
it’s decorative scabbard and with an unusual shaped shield on his back this
soldier struts forward on the battlefield ready to take on anyone.
The fact that his overlapped armour, shiny decorative helmet
and caligai (boots) do not detract from is the affore-mentioned enemy’s head he
is carrying in his left hand!
2831
1/16th
scale or 120mm
$89.95
This large scale and very impressive gun of the Wehrmacht of
WWII is the early war short barrelled 120mm type with a stubby and short look
and some impressive detail. Both in its gun and limber and it’s treads on the
tyres down to the spent and unused shells that come with the kit. All of the
details to control the gun are present on this version as well as a sight and
the detailed internal mechanisms. Not for a beginner but the premium end kit is
something that will turn heads on the modelling comp tables.
#2832
1:48
$23.95
The 48th scale version of the popular bomb loader
for modern aircraft post WWII. This is the later version of the loader so it
could be used anywhere from the 70’s onward. The internal venting of the engine
is impressive as is the mechanism which can be built lowered or up in the air
on the job. Sure to be a popular kit with the aircraft guys.
#2833
1/16th scale / 120mm
$34.95
Perfect for the new Panzer IV kits coming out from Trumpeter
or the P-38T from Panda – these winter weighted tankers in 1/16th
scale are half and 1/3rd body sculpts but pretty nice for it. Wire
is included on the headsets of each of these tankers and the detail of the
medals on their chests, the wool in their hats and the folds of their clothes
lead to a quite impressive looking trio.
