1/200 YB-49 and B-70:

It's a pity they have chosen the unusual 1:200 instead of 1:144 for these kits.

Not really, as these are in their Dragon Wings-Warbirds pre-painted collectors product line aka 'diecasts' (even though these days many are not actually diecast metal).

1/200th is a big player in that market.

The 1/200th Cyber-Hobby Vulcan 'kit' is a kit version of the Dragon Wings Vulcan 'diecast', so these may become available later in a Cyber-Hobby box.

That XB-70 needs a 1/72nd scale bubble canopy sticking on it and some weapons of the same scale stuck under the wings

New to me, Cyber-Hobby have an F6F-5N up for release.  Quite steeply priced, but quite within Dragon's 'boutique' price structure (inflated as it might be).

Another one of Dragon's excellent figure sets, this instance being four individual figures rather than the usual four of the same grouping.  I actually like this concept as it gives variety to uniforms, equipment, etc.

Another Dragon figure set like the one above, although this one features all SS troopies.

A bunch of new releases for Dragon, including the aforementioned SS troops and an SAS Jeep and 25lbr, which should prove an interesting counterpoint to the older Tamiya kits.

That G4 looks to be pretty sweet. I can think of all sorts of things to do with that...

I'm actually surprised they haven't shown box art with a car-load of brasshats and Adolph.  Perhaps there'll be a few done as the art is only a basic CAD drawing at the moment.  I'd like to do one up as a Brandenberger LRDG equivalent.

Cyber-Hobby's SAS Jeep is up for review.  Unfortunately, it looks as if it's limited to a specific version rather than the older Tamiya kit which was replete with various extra bits.  I'm unsure if they're providing a crew, but it'd be another poor showing from Dragon's 'boutique' line if that were the case.

Well at least we know why the USS Albany and USS Freedom haven't yet appeared, the Cyber Hobby sea power branch are pushing to release USS New York LPD-21 of the San Antonio class for September for the 10th Anniversary  of 9/11 as the ship used steel salvaged from the Twin Towers in its building.

Nice to finally get an LPD kit in this scale as all others have been expensive resin productions and it appears Cyber Hobby have beaten Hobby Boss to release.

And finally following on from last years LCS-2 & 4 trimaran kits Cyberhobby have now announced the other LCS design LCS-1 USS Freedom.

The Cyber-Hobby 1/700 LCS-1 USS Freedom appears to be in stock now at Hobbysearch Japan. Will go nicely with the LCS-2 ships and the new San Antonio class but i can't help thinking the LCS-1 is more like an armed luxury yacht
