¹⁄48

AFV Club have just sent us images of many of the items which we can expect to see during 2009.

As far as I know, AFV Club won't be present at this year's Nuremberg Trade Fair, but will certainly be represented. This then, is effectively the company's Show Releases.

Two things are obvious. Firstly, that they are doing their best to encompass as many interests as possible. Modern & WWII modelers should be well served during the course of the year. They are also, which may just give this sector a boost, supporting 1/48th scale. As effectively, we only (at the moment) have one manufacturer investing in this scale, AFV Club seem to be keen to enter strongly into this sector.

Both the Allied and Axis WWII enthusiasts should be happy with the 1/35th scale releases which are announced here.
