I like the M1120 idea, but I know the base kit is going to be much different then before. But still its different enough to still be fun to build.

Great - the M108 re-released just - of course- after I'd hunted one down on e-bay. Truly, the Law of Sod prevails!

What next? A Trumpeter T10 to nullify the Navigator resin one I've so carefully harboured for nearly 8 years?

Hey - these are great days to be plastic modellers are they not?!

Thanks for the link Vince,

I'll be interested to see their new Vosper Crew, but I didn't see any sign of the X Craft nor any new 1/35 scale boats. They do seem to have done a platoon of US infantry to load up the LCVP.

I do hope the X Craft is still a runner, but disappointed to see no new boats in 1/35 scale.

Cheers

Al

I know there may not be a lot of truck people here,but I wouldn't mind building that Scania Black Amber R cab.

The M1120 looks great.. I just hope it doesn't end up like that other gun truck that never happened

And that Iraqi BMP-1.. is that an old kit resurrected, or something new?

Sure wish somebody would come out with some new tooled kits of the old Peerless Max molds that Italeri continues to put out. Paying $40 for a 35 year old kit just because its got a new Breda 20mm in it kinda sucks. The Lince is kind of cool though

That is exactly what I fear. I would really like a quality HEMTT, but fear that most of the parts will be reboxing of the old one. The Lince does look nice, but I'm afraid of shortcuts. It looks soft on some details. But, if the dimensions are correct I'm just started to flex my scratch building and super detailing muscle.

Any idea why the BMP-1 has a Croatian flag on it? I thought that Yugoslavia never had BMP's and Croatian still doesn't?

Some classic re-issues there. Haven't seen the ambulance jeep in a long time. The 1/56 wargames stuff is odd. The WW2 aircraft is kind of neat too.

M1120 illustration says "rubber tyres included". Finally they ged rid of the crappy plastic wheels. Hopefully they include the flatrack, too and not only the container. Anyway, plenty of options and for sure lots of potential for the AM industry.

Some real old kits being reissued , but will still pick up the FAT and the US Screaming Eagles . Built a few of the Warlord Games 1/56 scale vehicles ( 3 plastic T-34/85s and a 251 halftrack ) , so looking forward to Italeri's releases if done in plastic . Hopefully all the kits that I messed up in my youth won't cost me a bundle to rebuy and build correctly this time

Given they have bought Esci moulds and have reboxed the Esci T-55 and M60 kits before, my money would be on a Esci re-issue.

I agree Al.....was hoping for a British LCA Landing Craft in 1/35...!!!! Wanted to load some Commandos or Rangers into the Brit version. Oh well, maybe soon another company will do one for the D-Day anniversary.

Was wondering about that too. I did some looking around, and unless they just recently acquired some they still use the BVP M-80. During the civil war there were reports of BMPs but they were mis-identified M-80s.

Hi Jason,

Me too; a new detailed LCA would have been excellent. I was contenting myself with the X Craft but it's not shown in this latest release.
