i just cat wait !

lots of interesting stuff there

Definitely lots of great stuff.. especially the 1/16 scale MRAPs.. thanks for posting this!

Hisham

Thank God there is not much stuff interesting for me there... My stash is already way too large

From all those announcements I'm only interested in LMTV trailer, German Fennek and FAV. Maybe A-37 in 1/48, but only if they don't botch it...

EDIT:
One more thing: CCKW-352! I will finally be ably to do this configuration :

what is the T-80BVD? a late type of the BV?

Seems to be a Ukrainian T-80BV with an added diesel engine (T-80UD FCS is also mentioned).

Lots of new armor variants, but the SA-8 Gecko in 1/35 is a very welcome surprise to me.

Hobbyboss continue to list the FAV



Hopefully eventually it will actually be produced! They've listed it as "new" for about 5 years now

Finally we get the PLA's BMP variants and mention of a PLA Tank Crew- awesome!!

Yeah- I wonder about the FAV aswell Hisham- its not the first time they've listed it!

Many thanks for posting this Luty.

At some point they will run out of BMP3 variants, right?
What are we up to 7 now?
Other than the version w the AT missiles and no turret and a prototype (?) 'fitters' version, what's left?

Mike

I wondered how soon they would release the export version of the T90. Looks like it will be now. I wish all those 1/32 scale aircraft releases were in 1/35. Just about everyone should find something in these releases to like.

O goody! Some 1/16 stuff! Even though it won't fit MY diorama vehicles... it's the correct size!


Thanks for the news!





Jeff

No one noticed or is excited about the announced KMT-6 mine "rake"? SKIF's version is very crude, this is welcome to ME!

Lots of 1/35 items to love on that list...

Hmmm... interesting... Did anybody notice the Type 59 130mm field gun? The Type 59 is a Chinese licensed copy of the Soviet M-46 gun. (Note: gun, not howitzer!) For a long, long time the longest ranging artillery piece in the world. It was famous (or infamous) at the Battle of Khe Sanh, with more than twice the range of anything the Marines had there. It meant that life at the Khe Sanh combat base was... not good.

But this looks like a Type 59-1, which had the limber from their Type 60 122mm gun (a copy of the D-74). There's a D-74 in Trumpeter's new catalogue as well, by the way.

Does anybody know if either the Type 59 or the Type 59-1 were fielded by the North Vietnamese during the Battle of Khe Sanh? I know the North Vietnamese definitely had them, but were they ever used at Khe Sanh?

still no sign of is-4? F**K!!!!!!!!!!!

T26 model 1937
T26 model 1938
T37
T40

I'm loving what hobbyboss is doing

Now where is that T10 kit?

Check it again and you'll find that...

Hi Everyone;

I was at Khe Sanh during the Siege and we not only took in-coming from 130mm but also 122mm Rockets. On many occasions we got Volunteered too act as Ammo Handelers too pass the rounds up too the Guns during our Counter Battery Fire Missions. In-coming always came from across the Border in Laos and from a Granite Plateau called Klorox.
Life at K.H. was very Interesting too say the Least.
I Apologize for this Lil bit of History and the O.T.

CHEERS; MIKE.

woops, my bad hidden between too much airplanes and BVP

Unfortunately for one more year Hobbyboss did not add the Namer Chatap and the Merkava 2D , which were mentioned in the past to be released! I hope to see them even if they were not added in the catalogue! At least one of them!
