Never heard of this one before http://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/h18eohdkzcf0ydnpmhzz.html, a Kayaba Type 4 Ram-jet from Japan in WWII in 1/72

Better known as the Katsuodori (sometimes spelled Katsudori) and I think Unicraft did one in 72nd quite a while ago. Anigrand do one in 1/144th as an extra kit with their Kawasaki Ki91 heavy bomber.

I just saw it pop up on HLJ a couple of days ago. Two in a box, they say; makes me want it twice as much.
Wish I knew more about Meng though... don't want to spring for a lemon. 

[Mossie]

The 1/35 pick-up technicals get good in-box reviews out of the box.  The quality of the castings are supposed to be excellent.

A 1/35 Minenraumer & a T-90 have been announced.  I've attached a link to Perth Military Modelling as Meng's website doesn't want to play:

[The Wooksta!]

It's tempting.  RAF roundels and an Air Min number, anyone?

Just seen this over on Facebook and it just has to be done...

Meng are releasing a 1/35 Vending Machine and Dustbin set for all those street scenes you've always wanted to do!

You can also get street barriers for riot scenarios or car crash sets

thanks nick for the heads up! 

[Mossie]

Fantastic for post-apocalyptic scenes.  I like that the barrier sets come with a mould so you can make your own, nice touch.

I have had a thought, for zombie dios and such are there such things as troops or civvies with NBC gear?  I don't think I've seen figure sets with them, except the 1/72 Airfix NATO ground crew set.  Be good for cold war dios as well.

[Weaver]

They do a bunch of other diorama stuff too: http://www.meng-model.com/index2ss.php?id=205

[JayBee]

Wow! 

[NARSES2]

I'm waiting to see a diorama where someone has used some of those bottles but filled them !

[zenrat]

I'd assumed they were solid.  Be cool if they weren't.  What fluid would give a scale meniscus?

[NARSES2]

I'd assumed they were solid. 

They probably are but nothing a twist drill can't sort 

[Old Wombat]

Yep, they're solid - I have a couple of sets of the water bottles in the stash ... possibly a set of the beer bottles, too, but I'm not sure whether that was a "bought" or "going-to-buy-but-didn't"".
