The HLJ report covers more than armour but it is focused on Japanese manufacturers.

If you're looking for an excuse to divorce, I suggest you buy that 1/32 B-24...or the Lancaster. Or both if you want to be dead sure...

It's nice to see the HobbyBoss BT-2 finally, I'm looking forward to that one!

A WNW Lancaster? All we can do is wait for a 1/24th scale "Spruce Goose" - made from spruce. Lots of spruce...

I think for the Lancaster in 1/32 the B-17 or like the Dora in 1/35 the divorce is compulsory because you need the spot where the wife parks her car to expose it!

The Asian Red Army soldier on the M3A1 is a nice touch. You don't see that level of attention to details very often...
The action-poses of the figures are rather good too. Well done, Tamiya!

Wave MaK/SF3D Krakenvogel and Neuspotter for the win. My wallet weeps quietly in the corner.
The new Prowler version looks good too.

Trumpeter is showing the new T-72A. So, with that hull do we finally get a shorter route to the Syrian T-72's?

Looks like Trumpy wins in the numbers, and the size, of their new releases!

And the HK 1/32 B-17 G! Gotta love it!

All I want to say is that M551 Sheridan looks sick! Getting my wallet ready.

Indeed! I'm already planning one for a touch of MERDC.

Hopefully the T-72AV will not be far behind!
