G'day Gang,

Over on Cybermodeler, there's a review of a trainer variant of the Fi-103 (V-1) in 35th scale.  Looks like they'll also be releasing the Reichenberg IV manned 'suicide' weapon too.

Regards,

Mav

i picked up the Fi.103A and piloted Reichenberg IV kits at the recent IPMS. show at Telford, both being really nice kits which assemble quickly with no problems, ill definatly be aquiring the 2 seater when its avaliable and a couple more of the 'normal' type to make a few 'naughty' versions i have in mind (chemical/dirty nuclear!)

cheers, Joe

Bronco have announced another A13 Cruiser Tank, this time the Mk.IV

http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=5054

Interesting to note that following the criticism of their (too short) rubber band tracks in the first release, they have included indivdual IM track links :o

Thanks for that Nev, I just love these early war tanks. Must admit I was put off buying the first release because of the "track issue"
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

 Most have probably heard this alreadybut if you haven't Bronco are to release a 1/48th scale JF-17 Thunder kit. http://www.nostalgicplastic.com/comesoon.cfm?DTTM=20090520022326&RequestedTimeout=500&KI=3326

Don't know if it is the same mould as the Trumpeter kit yet.

Bronco has been busy.  For those that were waiting for a better 40mm Bofors AFV Club which seems to be on hold indefinitely you can now look forward to Bronco offering one soon that will have provide you with the option to build one of three different Canadian versions of the weapon from the contents in the box.  Here is the link to the Bronco product announcements page on PMMS for additional details on Canadian 40mm Bofors AA Gun (1/35th scale Bronco Kit #CB35028). 

If you can find this kit with a lower price through an on-line mail order concession in Asia I would recommend that you take advantage of that since Bronco kit prices are exceptionally high once they hit  the North American and European markets. 

There are also some replacement track kits for the following 1/35th scale armored vehicles:

AB3522 M1A1/M1A2 MBT workable track link set.
AB3524 AS90 SPG workable track link set.
AB3525 Leclerc MBT workable track link set.
AB3528 Leopard 2 workable track link set.

modelversium.de has an in box review of Bronco's V-1 Fieseler FI103 A-1 Flying Bomb (1/35th scale kit # CB-35058).

Should make a nice partner for the forthcoming Airfix 1/350 HMS Trafalgar.

Modellversium just uploaded a kit review of the Bronco Models HMS Vanguard (1/350th scale kit number NB-5014) with images of the kit contents.  Not that much to it but it is a nice alternative to an Ohio SSBN.

Aeroscale have posted CAD piccies of Bronco's kit of the 1/48th J-10A Vigorous Dragon. http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=6248
Appears to be a bit more detailed than the Trumpeter kit. Wheel wells seem to have extra pipework, airbrakes are seperate parts and can be shown open and a crew access ladder is included. Weapons and tanks look to be the same types in both kits.

Yes here's a comparison between Bronco's J-10AS and Trumpeter's J-10A !

http://www.sonicmodel.com/topicdisplay.asp...TopicID=3075820

Seems again, as both are based on the same CAD-data ... but Bronco offers some more gems, details, ... and rivets (but there are a lot on the J-10)

For those who can't see the pictures, here are their individual links.

I would prefer the one from Bronce ... if it would be 1/72 !
