Posts like this really just piss me off on principle as I don't like Facebook either. Instead of just a link, how about writing a short note that says what is in the new catalog. Just posting a link is laziness.

I scanned through the pages and nothing shocking or new popped out for me.

Hi Matt

Thank you for taking the time to give us a heads up that they have released their new catalogs.

For the whiners out there: some new tanks and aircraft in various scales and of course some ships in the traditional scales of 1/350 and 1/700.

Tom.

It's debatable whether it's posting a link to a large amount of data or insisting that someone review, evaluate, and manually retype the information that is relevant to you is the real act of laziness.

It's worth creating an account with bogus data for just such purposes. On the other hand, if you believe your personality won't let you even be on the site without FB become the overriding obsession in your life, then I can see your reluctance.

Like to see the hobby boss one !



The Hobby Boss 2018 catalogue is also up on the company FB page too.
Surprises for me are
PLA APC Type 63-2 kit # 82481
PLA APC YW531C Kit # 82482
IDF Aczharit LATE kit# 83857
German sPZ Puma kit #83899
Also see two Kraz trucks, four King Tigers, Soviet BT2 fast tank, two Soviet armed locomotives...
I am eager for the SADF Olifant 1B tank kit #83897 that was announced earlier this year.

The IDF Achzarit “Late” is a missed opportunity: same Samson Mini RCWS as previous kit, not the Katlanit one, and no commander’s “aquarium” cupola. So close, too.

Maybe HB will make some last minute addition/changes?

I have to admit I had never been that interested in Russian armor before, but I have recently been hooked, and I'm especially excited to see early versions of the T-72. I just hope they get the turret close to accurate, fingers crossed!

Yes we have alot of tigers and Panthers already too, but we have many other modern tanks, Apc, Mraps from Europe that have not been done yet instead of only release russian tanks, trucks and all other versions.... If you shall do russian do a Typhoon-U Mrap....

I wonder what possessed them to make new King Tiger kits.. there are already some good kits available, so in order for them to sell enough, they better bring something really good to the table if they want to sell very many.

I like that they have a 44, an early 45 and a late 45 what-if version, though

The Modelling News website has both Hobby Boss and Trumpeter's 2018 catalogues posted. So no need to rely on Face Book anymore

If you don't mind waiting, this route is fine.
