Hobby Boss Kits

[Thorvic]

Legend Productions have already issued a resin accessories set for the Wolf WMIK, to add lots of nice clutter to the vehilce.
The kit lacks a suitable crew and only Accurate armour do the figures for their own WMIK set, but they look a tad chunky to the eye and cost as much as the kit does !!!.

Oh BTW Hobbyboss have announced the Hardtop Landrover Defender in this months previews so a kit of the conventional landie should be out later in the year

I'm quite liking their Spitfire V kits.  They're a good basis for the early PR options - you have to replace the prop and canopy anyway and the plastic's quite nice for sanding smooth.  

I've one that just needs the sand filter to finish as a PR.IV and there's another that I'm doing as a pre-war cannon testbed with the spare two blade prop and canopy from the ancient and otherwise useless Hasegawa mk I.  I quite fancy one to convert to the PR version of the Speed Spitfire.  May have to lay in a small stockof these!

I'm hoping that they scale down the threatened Trumpeter Spiteful and Seafang like they've done with the Sea Hawk.

Hobby Boss are releasing one of the King Tiger precursors with the forward mounted turret.  Looks quite nice and extremely detailed by all accounts.

This has been out for a while now, just finishing of mine. It is a very nice kit too, only a slight bit of putty needed to close up one gap.
Mine will have anti ship missiles on it.

Hobby Boss' 35th scale Dana is reviewed on IPMS Deutschland.  Looks gorgeous in the box.

An in progress build of the Defender Wolf is over on Armorama.  Quite a few detail changes by this builder along with good reference photos of the type.

A nice early model Panther (72nd aircraft that is) coming from Hobby Boss.

Another big-scale kit from Hobby Boss.  Looks like a beauty and certainly not one I would've thought would end up in 32nd.

Just looking at the Hobby Boss website and I see the German Boxer is available/planned:

Nice site, plenty of pics of sprues, decals, etc.

^ The Boxer's out in shops. Got one already.   Looks like a very nice kit.

Another   for the 1/72 Grumman F9F-2 Panther. Beautiful kit and blows the opposition clean out of the water, but suffers from a messed-up canopy. Comes with a US Navy and an Argie option!

EDIT:
Added some details for the Panther to avoid further confusion.

....... but suffers from a messed-up canopy. 

A tank has a canopy? Or something that looks like a tank with wheels anyway. What's the 'canopy' on one of them?

Grumman F9F Panther, not the Panzer V Panther. 

[PR19_Kit]

Grumman F9F Panther, not the Panzer V Panther. 

Ahah, brain fade at max here

Nah! just getting a little muddled with a life time of information crammed in there.
At least that is my excuse and I am stiking to it
