Hobby Boss Kits

[ChernayaAkula]

^ Ooh, the F-5E!   The serial number starting with 80XXX now confirms this will be an "easy build" kit (regular 1/72 kits start with 87XXX), but that shouldn't be that much of a problem for an F-5E. Hope they'll release it in different versions (with different noses, different LERXes,...).

That's weird, seems the English language update page for September is a month behind the Chinese one Geoff posted above?! http://www.hobbyboss.com/a/en/Preview/2011/0711/726.html

Hobby Boss' 'early' M3A1 scout car is up for review.  Brilliant stuff if only for the weapons sprue.

Hot on the heels of their Wolf Defender, here's a Defender 'hard-top'.

A review of the Chinese Yongshi SUV is available.  Looks like a cracker.

Looks nice.  Like the way you can build an open or enclosed cab from the same kit.  The roll bar lends it to a SpecOps Technical or you could make any mods to the enclosed cab, anti tank, ambulance, even a civvy vehicle.

Hope the 1/700 Wasp will spawn some 1/700 USMC modern aircraft sets. Wouldn't mind seeing Trumpeter boxing some USMC aircraft in packets of 6 or 12, in particular V-22s and AV-8B/B+ Harriers!

Could be tempted into a submarine with Hobbyboss doing a 1/350 Surcouf, due in October from what I understand. Lots of WIF potential - seaplane carrier, missile boat ?
