W-Model "Smerch" & Something else in 1/35 on the horizon!
W-Model has posted two photos today on their FB page that are NOT up yet on their web site, but will soon be hopefully!

The first is of a Russian made "SMERCH" MLRS system based on the MAZ 543 chassis. The second is of the same chassis base with a Russian made A222 costal defense artillery piece. Details are spotty other than these are 1/35 scale offering and NOT the usual 1/72 that W-Model is known for.

It is unclear if this are complete kits or resin upgrades for the new releases of the big ruskie trucks we have been seeing of late. Once details are released we will be sure to post the information and more pictures here.

Just received an email from W-Model. They finished the Bereg 1/35th for me which is their last one produced. True to form is was $235. The kit was mailed out of Lithuania on the 19th of May, 2015. However, if I understand the rest of the email, their 1/35th line of kits has been discontinued and will stay only with 1/72nd kits. If there was a 1/35th kit on your wish list, you might be late...or you can inquire to see what's left in their 1/35th inventory.

Isn't this Smerch the same one Trumpeter is doing? If so, I hope Trumpeter ventures and does the Bereg, also Hisham

Just give me a year for the resin to cool on my Bereg before Trumpy comes out with one in plastic!

Hi Guys; Yea ! I can see Trumpeter coming out with the Bereg in A couple of Years, and maybe if I save enough Pocket Change I can Afford it. And another System I can see them trying to make is the Coastal Missile System in the Twin Launcher. CHEERS; MIKE.

W-Models has confirmed to me that their 1/35th line of kits has been discontinued...quoting the line as "unsuccessful" (price?). Keep in mind W-Models has NOT gone out of business, just doing 1/72nd kits from now on.

As luck would have it...looks like Trumpy is releasing a Bereg.
