I was looking at PMMS the other day and noticed this new company which look promising. Just what modellers of British stuff have been crying out for. It looks as though their first batch of releases is all British. Early war tanks and two Vickers Crews. One in action one manpacking the weapon and kit. At the moment the only marching crew is Resicast who tend to be on the small side and their firing crew are in cold weather gear. Mind you DML's Vickers crew are all in overcoats for France 1940 which limits their use. Gecko are also releasing Cruiser tanks MkI and II in various versions. This is the link so have a look yourselves

They've not got a proper website as such as they're part of the Classy Hobby group by the looks of it and I don't think they've got a distributor in the UK yet. If anyone knows differently please share it with us.

Paul, I'm hoping that they're about the same as MB and Miniart. With them being a new company I can't see their prices being as high as say Dragon's are as they'll want to grab a chunk of the market. Fingers crossed as I want to buy the lot lol. The Beutepanzer is the early Cruiser MkII with a Vickers fitted as opposed to a BESA.
