Okay, apart from me, who else is hoping they'll do a 1/72 undead pirate figure set for this!  :party:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

 ;D Yeah! That seems to be kind of a running joke with Orion. Think their Roman siege troops have a guy with a jackhammer, for instance.  :lol:

Although on Dragon's site, this Zvezda kit looks quite good, including a half opened chute which has to be a first.

Interesting.  Who'll be the first to adapt it to a braking 'chute for a jet aircraft?   :lol:

Another Ju-88 kit upcoming from Zvezda.  I wonder if it's tied in with the older Italeri kit?

A whole bunch of interesting releases for Zvezda, including Soviet Paras in Afghanistan in 35th.

Nothing to do with the Italeri kit, the Zvezda one is an all new tool with nice recessed panels - unlike the Italeri one which has Frog Shackleton style rivets. And they are HUGE!

Wonder if they've fixed the tail?  If it's based on their A-4, the tail was for an A-1. Edit: No, they haven't.

Personally, I'd hang fire until the Revell one comes out.

Whiff potential? Well just think of all the alternative uses, comedic or otherwise, for a tied-up German..... :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

That sort of captured posing has gotta be unique to be sure.  Zvezda should be congratulated for this and others in their stable.  They're almost giving Masterbox a run for their money with different 35th troopies and the like.
