Unusual, one that'll lend itself well to a technical & I'll be surprised if it doesn't get such mods real world.

[Maverick]

Here's a large scale bird that I would have never expected beyond resin.

Really? I'm honestly surprised there hasn't been one 'til now!

Another one for the 'unusual' line from Hobby Boss.  Given the sometimes obscure nature of their releases, one wonders about this whole theory on styrene kits not being 'financially viable' for these type of subjects.

Echo that statement.  I think these would actually be a lot of fun in 1/72.

Not really Mav - it's Modern US

[Maverick]

True too, but not the M1 or M2/113 fare that is put out as the only type of kit that the punters will buy.  For me, it's a big hats off to HB for producing stuff in styrene that Tamiya/Dragon wouldn't touch with the proverbial.  It gives good feelings in the treadhead heart within for lots of different stuff.

You're right there Mav - I for one am glad that the Vickers Universal Turret has been kitted by HB

[Maverick]

Another large scale Shturmovik, this time the twin-seater.

Ian, are you referring to the Trumpeter 1/35 EE-T2 Osorio or did they release another kit under the Hobby Boss label? The whole Trumpeter/Hobby Boss/Great Wall/etc. thing is difficult to sort out because they seem to release the same kits under different labels in various parts of the world.

Trumpeter - D'oh!
