Shortly, the first two of Skybow''s 1/48th scale Armor releases will be available to buy. As a ''taster'' of what you can epect, we have published a report on the two new kits... Both are Tiger 1s (early & late) and if the photos are anything to go by, some very special kits are going to be produced... The full story, can be seen:

Thanks!

Be interesting to see if they do there Dodge WC series in this scale. Also another thought is that their 1/35 kits were quite expensive so I wonder how 'over the top' the 1/48 pricing will be?

Simply they can't. The moulds were sold, not leased to AFV Club..Jim

The 1/35 scale molds were Jim. If you read my post properly you will see I am talking about 1/48 scale WC dodges and not their 1/35th scale ones!

That's exacty what I thought you meant - and I thought about them scaling down the original models as I assume this is what Tamiya has done.... Since Skybow has 30+ kits to come, I'm sure we'll see something...Jim

The quality and detail looks really good from what I can see.

I wonder what the other 30 odd releases are going to be?

Well number three is going to be a Firefly...Jim

With the 30 odd kits from Skybow, and the Tamiya kits in this scale, and the new PE sets from Hauler.... is this the beginning of a revolution? A new phase of the modelling evolution?

Seems like not to far off in the near future, you can go into a hobby shop, with a young kid working there, and ask for a 1/35 scale model, and he or she will ask you what are you talking about.

1/48 is finally making it's move, and it seems to be doing a fine job, with offering things that wasn't available in 1/35, like the multi bank engine for the Sherman, and that is just one of the things I noticed so far.
