Might get the 1/35 Iveco VTLM Lince (Lynx) coz it looks better than a Hummer.

Yep that's the one, but we took out one of the seats in the back for some reason.
Edit:- forgot to say that noone has mentioned the 1/35th X-Craft midget sub. http://www.italeri.com/news_scheda.asp?idNews=120

Hm, that'll be around 18" long in 1/35 scale. Maybe not big enough for a fully submerging R/C model but certainly large enough to motorise for surface use. All we need now is a 1/35 scale Tirptz to creep up on.  ;D

The Sunderland is out at Hannants. I'd rather have a latter mark so may wait and see what turns up.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Give it a couple of weeks and there'll be BUCKETS of resin and PE stuff to make any Mark yoiu like Chris.  ;D :lol:

Cross-kitting with an Airfix one should be able to produce a few other Marks already.

Many many years ago Canovac did an MR5 conversion for the Airfix kit - and the Airfix Sunderland that's been in the stash for >25 years wants to be an MR5! 

Amazed someone hasn't thought of doing one in more recent years.

Hmm, the Sunderland isn't as expensive as I thought it'd be. Well done for that Mr Italeri!

Italer's 2013 new releases booklet has been posted on Cybermodelle, highlights include a new F-35A in 1/72nd and a Short Stirling I which no doubt will be like the Sunderland with Special Hobby doing the later variant.

Something not quite right about the nose of the Stirling in the painting IMO.  Hopefully the model doesn't follow those lines.  Nice to see a new Stirling if it appears.

I wish that manufacturers would recognise there are two other versions of the F-35 going to be built...

If the 1/35 container is priced right, I can also see a lot of things I could do with that.

Good to see the Leopard 1a3/a4 being re-released.  I have plans.  ;D

The 1:72 PSP and carrier deck look promising for diorama work. Like the Impala as a whiffy basis, too.
