Well if you were to look at this box art you wouldn’t be
upset at the Sarn’t Major for calling this lot a bunch of “lollygagging
Layabouts” – but the REAL story is they are riding on a tank and that is the
reason for their sitting down poses – let’s look at this new set from MiniArt now to
see whether they are truly ready for battle!
Here we news of the latest cyberhobby kit of the KingTiger from “Die Erzahlung Des Schwarzen Ritters” or the "Black Knight" series. - This the 5th in the series of tanks taken from the fictitious comic from the pen of Motofumi Kobayash represents the last tank used by the Von Bauer - the black Knight - and now Cyberhobby have rendered it in 1/35th scale - its time we had a look! 
For the most
hyped and then arguably the best loved aircraft kit of the year in 1/32 scale
the Tamiya Mustang came a whole list of accessories and interest. Released late
last year was this worthy edition from book and decal makers Kagero
called “North American P-51D/K Mustang
and Cavalier F-51D Conversion” which – as the title says covered the P-51D
right through to the K and Cavalier F-51D Mustang. Packed with great pictures
and drawings and in depth info what could top it all off? Well how about decals
in 1/72, 1/48th and 1/32 scales? Let’s see if the result is as good
as the premise…
Dutch Decal
from the Netherlands have not only given us their new book
“A Modeller’s guide: P-51D/K Mustang Photo File (ML-KNIL/RNEAAF)” This
month but have also made the decals to Match! Just in time for the 1/32 Tamiya
P-51kit these decals look to give you an interesting edge over others at the
judging table and a talking point with friends who may have not even seen a
mustang in Dutch colours before. Let’s take a look
The very interesting book and decal
makers Dutch
Profile from the
Netherlands bring us a new addition to the realm of products that have come out
for the 1/32 Tamiya Mustang this year. Their new book (and the separately sold
accompanying decals we will look at in another review) certainly look like a worthy
addition to further uniquify (is that a word?) your new masterpiece P-51 – to
make it a standout from everyone else’s with such a different bunch of schemes
– first you need someone to do the research when doing such exotic subjects -
Let’s look at this book detail to see if the promise is as good as the outcome…
Alpine Miniatures have sent us their latest set of two
single figures combined to make a matched pair in the set 35132: 1/35 German
Panther Crew Set. This features a
full bodied tank commander and his Machine gunner/ radio operator crewman who
is ¾ bodied. Sure to be a popular subject with modellers we'll examine them to
see if the quality is at the usual benchmark that Alpine themselves have set.
