The boy bought this with his pocket money last week.  Its one of their pre-painted "easykits", and I have to say that unlike earlier Star Wars easykits, this one realises that just because its small, doesn't mean its easy for a young child to build. 

I'd come to a similar conclusion with their Easykit Pocket Star Wars kits, they're actually quite fiddly.  My brothers two came around & we sat down to do them, the Republic Gunship especially had some fine parts that were very easily broken.  Luckily, Uncle Mossie had some poly cement nearby!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Is the VeeDub bus tooled by Hasegawa?

Nope, new Revell mould.

Sure it's new? It looks awfully like a very old Revell one.

New, according to some car model folks.

Here is Revell's test-shot gallery, which is, oddly enough, only on the German language site.

Edit: no Modelzone near me either Pyro but someone on Britmodeller said you can get the offer prices on line by going through the Revell listings(they weren't all on the offers section earlier today).

That set looks like part of one of Preiser's 1/72 Luftwaffe ground crew set. In particular, set 72509

Green Dragon

Certainly looks like the preiser ones Frank, just in a different colour plastic.

Most of 'em are Preiser. The six pilots sitting in the cockpit are new, though (upper right hand corner). Apparently, some of the Preiser guys had to be sacrificed for the sitting pilots.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

1/144 Eurofighter Typhoon! Yeah, baby!

The B-17G in 1/72 comes as quite a surprise. The Wiesel 2 in 1/35 will be perfect whiff-fodder! :wacko:
Oh, and that Star Wars stuff..... Looking forward to that AT-TE. Could look cool in Soviet colours!
Cheers,
Moritz
