Panda-Hobby's 1/35 Oshkosh MRAP M-ATV Test shot Review
1/48th Great Wall Hobby Focke Wulf Fw189A-1 “Nachtjäger” Part V
The last instalment of the building of
this great little kit from Great Wall Hobbies left us at the 90% construction
completed and the undercoat on – the main painting was next for me – and with
some new paints to try and a nightfighter scheme I wasn't completely at home
with (and there being no information on this particular bird) would this come
out all right? Read on intrepid Fw-189

Alpine Miniatures Kit: 35125 German DAK Fallschirmjäger #2 Reveiw & Construction
Interestingly this month Alpine Miniatures have released a pair of figures that aren’t really a set! As the answer to their earlier pairing of figures sets which had only one released each they bring the matching pair, both from the African theatre - these are the 35125 German DAK Fallschirmjäger #2 and the 35123 35123 WW2 Italian AFV Officer, both in 1/35 scale.

MasterBox MB 3594 – “Allied Forces, WW II era, North Africa, desert battles series Review
Anyone of you see the 1995 tele-movie starring Jim Belushi
called “Sahara”? Well in that movie there was a bunch of rag tag soldiers who
were defending a well in the middle of the desert against a numerically
superior force of German infantry. 500 German soldiers versus nine soldiers
from many of the allied nations in the world at that time, most prominently
were a Senegalese infantryman, and Aussie Bren Gun soldier, and British young
soldier, a Free French soldier and the American Tank Sargent (Belushi). Well I
was inspired to watch that movie today when this set arrived on the doorstep
from MasterBox – Clearly inspired from the movie (this isn’t a bad thing at
all) called “MB 3594 – “Allied Forces, WW II era, North Africa”
The whole charm about these figures is that they are based
(unofficially) on the 1995 movie. As I had just re-watched the movie I had the
instant connection with them and could see the colours and painting of these
figures in my head already.

Tools of the workbench review: The Xuron Professional Modeller’s Tool Kit
When my last set of sprue cutters died and tried to “de-eye”
me in the process I thought time to “get Zerious” as Arnold would say and
invest in some new sprue cutters and P/E scissors – I also needed some Ad-hoc
P/E bending tools – in this set from Xuron I think I have met my match! I have been using these for several months to fully test them out and to give a proper assessment of their usefulness.
