Trumpeter

[Thorvic]

Nice to see the Naval Flankers are due out both the Russian and Chinese versions, a new JH-7A is nice as thats the operational version and hopefully they have improved on the detail. Will get the Type 23 HMS Monmouth in 1/350th but i wish they would scale them down to 1/700 waterline.

Interesting Soviet JS4...

[Green Dragon]

Wanting the JH-7A and Flankers.

I want need the Whirlwind!

Site linked was too hard for my s-l-o-w connection & laptop to load sufficiently for me to see - are there any decent 1/35th armour/vehicle offerrings?

What I find annoying is that the guy who did all the pictures, completely skipped the 1/700 ships section of the book.

Still some interesting stuff in there though.  The Intruders are nice.

48th Hornets?  They'll be wrong.

Thanks, Moz!

"BMP-3 in South Korea Service" - Really? South Korea? I have the UAE version, which will do me.

The modern Russian stuff looks interesting, not my normal field but I like the look of the T-80 & T-90, & the Russian GAZ 39371 Vodnik High Mobility Multipupose Military Vehicle & Czech T-72M4CZ MBT interest me, too.

Figures, I've just knocked together a Tamiya T-62 - will end up as a KO'd Somali to go with my Imperial Ethiopian M-60. Easy build, just not sure about the accuracy of the dimensions. Not that that worries me too much but it was, basically, one of their old motorised kits, so I have my doubts. Maybe I'll buy a Trumpy one, just to compare the two.

Oh God I do hope not . Ditto for the Whirlwind. Let's all be positive .

[ChernayaAkula]

Looking forward to the Flankers (who'd have thought we'd ever see an injection-moulded kit of the Su-33KUB ), but overall I get this feeling they're (along with Hobby Boss) increasingly treating 1/72 as the red-headed stepchild - or at least wildly favouring 1/48 and (increasingly) 1/32. Save for the Flankers and the JH-7, the other 1/72 news are left-overs from the previous year (years, even). Hobby Boss only has Skyhawks (that are left-overs from last year) and two Jaguars. Maybe this "1/72 doesn't sell"-shtick (which may apply to some markets) is slowly turning into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Yup, Nice Korea.   Instead of paying back some Soviet-era loans in cash, the Russians paid with a selection of military hardware, among them BMP-3s and T-80Us. That's also the reason for the South Korean HH-32 Helix helos in their nifty colour scheme:

Well! Well! Well! Ain't that the bomb!

The problem is that all the drawings are wrong and there isn't an existing airframe to examine.  Bits, yes but no complete Hornet.  Mind, there were plenty of Vampires but the dudes at Trumpeter couldn't be arsed to go and measure a real one so produced the abortion that is their Vampire kit. 

HpH have a 32nd Hornet that's riddled with errors.  Some guy on Britmodeller bought one and is reworking it with input from John Adams and David Collins (what he doesn't know about Hornets isn't worth knowing).
