Verlinden Productions have some new releases on the market, one of these new products features panels and a turret for the Char B1 Bis from Tamiya with shot up detail.

Verlinden Productions may not have the popularity it once held, but they continue to release a good number of products onto the market featuring a mix of new and old. All of the products covered here are 1/35th scale unless stated otherwise. Here is the latest mix from Verlinden Productions;

2761 - Scale Point Blank Char B1 Bis (Tamiya) - $24.95
We have never seen such a beat up French vehicle! (and we have been to a few second hand Renault dealers in the past) This WWII vintage Char B1 Bis is seen here includes five parts of the tank seemingly used for target practice. This can be used with a current kit or strewn around the deck in a diorama or with a smaller vignette.

2762 - 120mm German Officer WWII Wehrmacht - $24.95
The 120mm resin figure of a German army staff officer bears almost an uncanny resemblance to a certain “Desert Fox” that I might have heard of with his high cheek bones and searching eyes. There is some very nice detail here portrayed in his delicately sculpted side boards and emblems on his tunic down to his General staff stripes on his breeches and cuff armbands. Nine parts in resin are included in the box and he carries a map pouch and some field glasses as well as a cigarette that it look like he is just about to smoke whilst looking at a distant target on the horizon. Perhaps over the English channel?

2763 - 105mm Howitzer M101 WWII Crew-Ammo-Gear - $38.95
This World War II set contains four figures in cream resin – busily doing all they can to get their gun to keep firing are in this set. You have a commander issuing firing orders and on his walkie-talkie, a loader and a soldier firing the gun whilst another G.I. covers his ears. Not only are the crew include but everything you would need to fire the gun is included in resin – spent and unspent shells, shells in their cases and their ammo boxes along with jerry cans and other containers. The soldiers gear is also covered in this set – several sleeping bags in canvas as well as several packs, water bottles, entrenching tools, a pistol in it’s holster and several other personals – this is a very full indeed box.

2764 - Fire Base Charly Base-Ammo-Gear-Figures - $65.95
Over seventy parts of resin make up the kit - base and two figures in resin and various gear from a late 60’s early 70’s Vietnam firebase. You will need the Italeri or Dragon 105mm to go along with the set (not included) but pretty much everything else is here. One figure is seen on his knees issuing firing orders whilst the other is giving him orders of the adjustments. There is plenty of resin accessories to pack out this base and sandbagged diorama, used and unused ammo – loose and in boxes is supplied so you can littler it around your diorama, boxes for the shells are included as well.
