Wings of War - Series 2





Wings of War - Series 2

==================

I put this together for fun... I did not have any card so had to ue a manila enveplope, it would have been better with thicker card. It should have some poles supporting the roof, but i didnt have any cocktail sticks to hand!


The base is not the original one, this one i made in Photoshop combining some grass and vehicle tracks. (it works better in real life)



Series 2 is now availabe!

June 2008 F-Toys 1/144 "Large Collection"



June 2008 F-Toys 1/144 "Large Collection" (maybe?)
========================================
its a bit speculative, but F-Toys are one of the companes regulary producing 1/144 series
maybe more twin engined, or maybe four engined or other "Large" bombers or transports?
.
Interestingly this was on display at the Wonderfest 2008 - did no one else spot this?
.
At least with the lancaster there will be many options for squadrons . colour schemes and British & Commonwealth nations.
i wonder if they will do one with the "Tallboy" or "Bouncing" bomb?
.
i hope the final items have guns in those turrets?

1/150 Bandai Working Vehicles


1/150 Bandai Working Vehicles
-------------------------------------
.
The good news is Bandai does nice high qaulity vehicles and they usually come with a mini diorama base.
.
Bad news, is Bandai do not do a lot of armour- and who knows what happend to the "Wing Club" series?
.
Good news, is we have some cross over vehicles - typically the "working vehicles" series tend to be trucks and utility vehicles.
This series of "construction" / "road building" is curious as it involves:
.
- Civil Enginnering
- Military Engineering (JGSDF)
- UN United NAtions (JGSDF)
.
Planned - 2008/8

21st ~Century Toys - 1/144 Vehicles!







21st ~Century Toys - 1/144 Vehicles!
==========================
Product update: 1:144 scale military vehicles paint samples revealed.
2/28/2008 Here they are! 21st Century Toys production samples of the Seried One schemes for all four of the new military vehicles in 1/144th scale.

Wargamers and collectors should be very pleased, as this is the first time that these trucks and halftracks have been available in this scale. (well actually thats not true!? - Takara WTM, Pro-hobby?)

This will bring a whole new dynamic to the super-small scale product family. Knowing that these are paint product samples indicates that a release should be expected sometime this spring and that at the time of this article release, there is no firm date as to when they will be ready for sale.

SERIES 01
------------
#00423 US 2.5-Ton Truck
#00424 US M4A3 Halftrack
#00425 Sdkfz 251 Hanomag (Division Großdeutschland)
#00426 Sdkfz 7 Halftrack
