Black Dog have just informed us of their latest, 1/35th scale releases - with a VERY Canadian theme. The report can be seen:

Nice to see the Barracuda conversion....but it just doesn't look right....the Barracuda pattern appears too large and there isn't the distinct look of the panel overlap.

The figures at first glance are very much needed and the details look very nice.

The figures look stunning, and fill a much needed void, I only hope they come out with a few more.

The 2A6M conversion-well Im kinda with Jason on this, the cam doesnt look right, this stuff gets pressed down flat, whereas the kit looks too pronounced. And, is it really necessary for another cuda cam conversion? Would have preferred something a bit more imaginative tbh, like a Chally 2 cuda conversion.

Im kind of split on the figures. They are nice but the faces are weird...

A bit lurch from the Adams Family. With some Hornet Head swaps these would look stunning.

I like these Canadian figures and detail sets they've been doing. I hope this means that maybe later on they will be moving on to a modern British theme.. and maybe some German, and other modern nationalities to go with the many modern vehicles that have been coming out, and others that are in the works. Could we hope for some Iraqi soldiers?!!

You are not the only one who thinks this. I think the heads look squished sideways. As I received two seperate helmets with one of the figures I intend to replace the heads with some bald Hornet heads. The helmets fit on the Hornet heads nicely so I'll just have to do the chin straps.
What would good colours be to use for the uniforms?
