G'day Gang,

A couple of interesting tidbits over on CM. 

Firstly a review of the RoG Heyford.  Not the most flattering review, but given its pedigree I'm happy to see it again.

Secondly and of real news is Bronco's release of a 35th V-1.  Whilst I think that Accurate Armour might have done the pre-requistely hideously expensive resin take on the subject (even a launching ramp if memory serves), this would have to be a first in injection plastic for the scale.  Their blurb does guff on about the type being used as a 'guided missile' launched a He-111 and originally as a 'suicide weapon', both of which are patently off but there you go.  The unguided weapon launched from a ground ramp and later from He-111s would later evolve into the Reichenberg manned projects for those that might be a little hazy on the type's history.  Still, historical inaccuracy aside, she's a brilliant thought.  I only hope they think to release a proper launching assembly & perhaps the Reichenberg IV at a later date.
