That LuftKrieger looks to have lots of whiff potential if it comes out.

Interesting world where a Chinese model kit manufacturer that specializes in 1/72nd armor subjects would select the entirely fictional creations of a Spanish digital artist off of Deviantart to be their first release in aircraft modeling.

"Cutangus" / Jose Garcia has been rendering his creations for some several years now.  He's really big on "free piston" propulsion for his craft and they're quite unique looking.  If that comes out in 72nd then I'll definitely be to buying some.

They are talking about a "Series", so I'd think that there's more to come. Promising, and very unique venture. I just hope that the price tag is not as exotic as the virtual designs...  :-\ The tanks are already pretty expensive (O.K., they are detailed well and come with PE parts), let's hope for the best.

Some neat stuff for sure. I like the wee HEMTT series. Those would look neat on the shelf or in a wee dio.

I would have bought the HEMTT with the Patriot launcher on it as it would fit in with my themed builds, but I think it may be discontinued  :banghead:

I have a feeling the Patriot is still in development, they have only just released the Pershing Launcher, and I seem to recall they will also be doing both with MAN tractor units for the European theatre.

If you want a Patriot, Aoshima also do one in 72nd which has a more commercial style tractor unit, which might be right up your street :-

Just had a look on their site, and there is a lot of new stuf in the pipeline including a 1/72nd scale B-52 and B2, lots of new armour both modern Russian and WW2 German. But this little gem stood out the most to me http://modelcollect.com/russian-a222-130mm-coastal-defense-gun-bereg. WOW I really like the look of this. I just hope that the chassis it is on which looks very similar to the SMERCH MLRS, is better that that fitted to the SMERCH, as it is an absolute nightmare to build due to badly fitting parts, and vague instructions. I have battled with mine to get it something remotely like.
