Legend: Resin Fire Power + a SurprisePosted: Thursday, March 28, 2019 - 10:03 PM UTC
Legend Productions continues to work on 3D mastered weapons systems for the modeller to dress up their kits with the improved detail that resin offers. Also announced is a new release for the Meng Merkava and Magach, but I feel the biggest surprise is a foray into the world of helicopters. Please look inside for more details.

I'm glad to see the "traditional" sculpted vehicle sets again from Legend.
Don't get me wrong, I like Peter Samofalov's 3D work and I'm glad his cooperation with Legend continues, but I also like the company for their extensive vehicle conversions and upgrades.

The blade fold set looks awsome. Can't wait to get one to add the my Zulu Cobra. By the way, the Academy kit looks awesome. You can see it here.

Excellent to see the variety of Carl G's being released. Top notch!

Like Mario says, it's good to see the update sets again, it have been little to much weapon set the last year.. but i like the carl gustav rifles and ammo boxes.. but please continue to do more update sets like you did before

Some amazing goodies here and you're right, the helicopter blade that folds makes it not only easier to display but also opens the possibility of a hanger deck scene. Cool.

Loving that Charlie-G, will there be figures to accompany it?

I guess you meant Mk.IV...? Legend only makes full, covered hull and turret baskets for the Academy kit. Meng makes the same for its own Mk.4M.

Yes, I did.
I’ve seen Meng’s set but it is around the same price as the kit.

The Carl Gustavs look amazing, and having the M4 version, vastly improved over the M3, is a "First" for 1/35 modern armament. Having four Carl Gustavs to a set provides some really awesome firepower for any vehicle or group of figures.

This makes me definitely want to get Academy's new Z-Cobra that way it can fit on my shelf.
